Context of Luke 9:19

17They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 18Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” 20“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.” 21Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.
