Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Peace be with you." They came up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.

When they saw him, they worshiped him, even though some of them doubted.

They worshiped him and went back into Jerusalem, filled with great joy,

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased---listen to him!"

But Jesus kept quiet. Again the High Priest spoke to him, "In the name of the living God I now put you under oath: tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God."

He trusts in God and claims to be God's Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!"

When the army officer and the soldiers with him who were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and everything else that happened, they were terrified and said, "He really was the Son of God!"

"Teacher," answered Nathanael, "you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Jesus said to him, "You have already seen him, and he is the one who is talking with you now."

"Yes, Lord!" she answered. "I do believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."
