16 Simon Peter replied, ^a“You are ^bthe Christ, ^cthe Son of ^dthe living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, ^e“Blessed are you, ^fSimon Bar-Jonah! For ^gflesh and blood has not revealed this to you, ^hbut my Father who is in heaven.

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me ^qdraws him. And ^rI will raise him up on the last day.

66 ^fAfter this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to ^gthe twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have ^hthe words of eternal life, 69 and ⁱwe have believed, and have come to know, that ^jyou are ^kthe Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, ^l“Did I not choose you, ^gthe twelve? And yet one of you is ^ma devil.”

4 In their case ^gthe god of this world ^dhas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing ^hthe light of ⁱthe gospel of the glory of Christ, ^jwho is the image of God.

6 For God, who said, ^m“Let light shine out of darkness,” ⁿhas shone in our hearts to give ^othe light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
