SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:13–20: Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ

In this section, Peter declared that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus agreed with Peter that he was the Messiah. But then he told the disciples that they must not yet tell this truth to other people. Jesus also described the community which he was creating—the church. And he told them that Peter would have a very important part in it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Peter’s Confession of Christ (NIV)

Peter declared his belief that Jesus is the Messiah

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 8:27–30 and Luke 9:18–22.

Paragraph 16:13–16

The story in 16:13–16 began sometime after the story in 16:5–12 ended. The Greek text does not say how much time passed between these two stories. In some languages, it is natural to begin a story with a time word or phrase. If your language does that, use an expression here that is not too specific. For example:

Then

16:15

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

“But what about you?”… “Who do you say I am?”: In Greek, this is more literally, “But you, who do you I am?” In Greek, the pronoun “you” is emphasized the first time it occurs in this clause. Jesus had just heard what other people said about him. Now he wanted to know who his own disciples thought that he was.

Here are some other ways to translate this question:

But you,…who do you say I am? (NJB)

And you, who do you say I am?

In Greek this is one question. Some English versions, including the BSB, add a separate question to show that the pronoun you is emphasized. For example:

But what about you?…Who do you say I am? (NIV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

λέγει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὑμεῖς Δέ τίνα μέ λέγετε εἶναι)

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [He said]
