Matthew 16:16
Douay-Rheims
Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
John vi. 70. Peter answers without hesitation. He does not merely acknowledge Jesus to be the Messiah : he does not designate Him the son of David, as He was usually called : he does not style Him a son of God : but he emphatically declares Him to be the Son or THE LIVING God. Those who fancy that Peter had no sublimer idea of Christ than that He was the Messiah and chosen ambassador of God, do not take into account the divine revelation by which he was enlightened.
