Gospel
text (Luke 9,18-22): One
day when Jesus was praying alone, not far from his disciples, He asked them,
«What do people say about me?». And they answered, «Some say that you are John
the Baptist; others say that you are Elijah, and still others that you are one
of the former prophets risen from the dead». Again Jesus asked them, «Who then
do you say I am?». Peter answered, «The Messiah of God». Then Jesus spoke to
them, giving them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. And he added, «The
Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the elders and chief
priests and teachers of the Law, and put to death. Then after three days he
will be raised to life».
