OET (OET-LV) And Simōn Petros answering said:

OET (OET-RV) “You’re the promised messiah,” Simon Peter answered, “the son of the living god.”

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

16:16a

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ,

Simon Peter answered: Peter was named Simon at birth. When Jesus first met Simon (John 1:42), he gave him the new name of Peter.

In some languages, it may not be clear that Simon Peter refers to one person who uses two names. In those languages, you may need to make that clear in the translation. For example:

Simon also called Peter

You are the Christ: The word Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah.” “Messiah” refers to the person whom God had appointed and promised to send as king and savior. The words Christ and Messiah have the same meaning.

Here are some other ways to translate Christ:

Some of you will not include the meaning of Christ in the text. In that case, you may want to include a footnote to explain the meaning of Christ. Or you may want to explain the meaning in a glossary. For example:

The word/title “Christ” refers to the King and Savior whom God promised to send.

The word Christ first occurs in 1:1a. It also occurs in 11:2a. You should translate it here as you did there.

16:16b

the Son of the living God.”

the Son of the living God: The phrase “the Son of God” was a title that Jews often used to refer to a coming savior who would be a descendant of King David. This person was also called the “Messiah” or “Christ.” This title also indicates that Jesus has the same nature and character as God.

See how you translated the phrase “the Son of God” at 4:3b. For further information on translating this title, see the note on “My…Son” at 3:17b.

the living God: Jews used this phrase to refer to the true God. It showed that they were not talking about false gods and idols who do not have life. It was a common way to refer to God in the Old Testament.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the alive God

God, the living one

the God who is alive

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ Σίμων Πέτρος εἶπεν Σύ εἶ ὁ Χριστός ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος)

Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word You here is singular.

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος

the the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀποκριθείς Δέ Σίμων Πέτρος εἶπεν Σύ εἶ ὁ Χριστός ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος)

Son is an important title for Jesus that describes his relationship with God the Father.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος

˱of˲_the God ¬which living

Here, the phrase the living God identifies God as the one who “lives.” The primary point is that God actually “lives,” unlike idols and other things that people call “god.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that emphasizes that God really “lives.” Alternate translation: [of the God who lives] or [of the true God]
