Context of Luke 9:19

17All of them ate as much as they wanted. When they picked up the leftover pieces, they filled twelve baskets. 18Once when Jesus was praying privately and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do people say I am?” They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others say that one of the prophets from long ago has come back to life.” 20He asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, whom God has sent.” 21He ordered them not to tell this to anyone.
