Red Letters in Luke

Who Do You Say I Am?

Luke 9:7–20

About This Message

Herod is confused, the crowds are speculating, and Jesus feeds five thousand with five loaves and two fish. Then He withdraws and asks the question everything depends on: 'Who do you say I am?' Peter answers — and heaven confirms it. This is the hinge of Luke's Gospel.

"But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
Luke 9:20

Key Points

  1. 1

    Herod asked "Who is this?" from a distance — confused, fearful, unwilling to commit.

  2. 2

    The crowd had answers: John the Baptist, Elijah, a prophet. All wrong.

  3. 3

    Five loaves and two fish fed five thousand — Jesus demonstrated His identity before He asked the question.

  4. 4

    Peter's confession was not just intellectual agreement but personal commitment.

  5. 5

    This is the hinge. Everything before leads to this question. Everything after flows from the answer.
