Mark 8:27-30

²⁷Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"

²⁸They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

²⁹"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

³⁰Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

• What one change do you need to make today?
