Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions.

He said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all of them.

When they heard these words, some of the crowd began to say, “This really is the Prophet!”

But he denied it again. A short time later the bystanders again said to Peter, “You must be one of them, because you are also a Galilean.”

Now when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw how he died, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

But I tell you most certainly, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed, “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Yet here he is, speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to him. Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples

But whoever obeys his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him.

After a little while, those standing there came up to Peter and said, “You really are one of them too – even your accent gives you away!”

Now when the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and what took place, they were extremely terrified and said, “Truly this one was God’s Son!”

They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”

because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen.”

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.
