Peter answering, said, The Christ of God. 21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing, 22 Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things, and be reiected of the Elders, and chiefe Priests, and Scribes, and be slaine, and be raised the third day. 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer will lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it. 25 For what is a man aduantaged, if hee gaine the whole world, and lose himselfe, or be cast away? 26 For whosoeuer shall bee ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his owne glory, and in his Fathers, and of the holy Angels. 27 But I tell you of a trueth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdome of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He said unto them, but whom say ye that I am?.... Which was the main thing he had in view in this private conference; and in order to introduce which, he puts the former question:
Peter answering: in the name of the rest of the disciples, they assenting to it:
said, the Christ of God; The Persic version reads, "Christ God"; the Messiah, who is the Son of God, and God over all, blessed for ever. The Cambridge copy of Beza's reads, "the Christ, the Son of God".
