Context of Luke 9:20

18Once when Yeshua was praying alone and His disciples were near, He put a question to them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19They replied, “John the Immerser, but others Elijah, and others that some prophet from among the ancients has arisen.” Then He said to them, “But who do you that say I am?” Then Peter answered and said, “The Messiah of God.” 21But Yeshua warned them, and He ordered them not to tell this to anyone, 22saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
