In The World
~ Luke 9:18-22 ~

6. 18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone,
the disciples were with him. And he asked them,
“Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they
answered, “John the Baptist. But others say,
Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old
has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do
you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The
Christ of God.”
Luke 9:18-22

7. 21 And he strictly charged and commanded them
to tell this to no one, 22 saying, “The Son of Man
must suffer many things and be rejected by the
elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and on the third day be raised.”
Luke 9:18-22
Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.

was presented before him.
~ Daniel 7:13-14

13. “…And to him was given dominion and glory and a
kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting
dominion, which shall not pass away, and his
kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.”

third day be raised.”

15. Surely he has borne our
griefs and carried our
sorrows; yet we esteemed
him stricken, smitten by
God, and afflicted. But he
was wounded for our
transgressions, he was
crushed for our
iniquities….
~ Isaiah 53

16. …he was cut off from the
land of the living, stricken
for the transgression of
my people. And they
made his grave with the
wicked and with a rich
man in his death….

17. …Yet is was the will of the
Lord to crush him; he has
put him to grief….his soul
makes an offering for sin.
