The Confession of Peter is a statement made by the [[apostle Peter]], recorded in [[Matthew 16]], [[Mark 8]] and [[Luke 9]], in which Peter acknowledges [[Jesus]] to be the [[Christ]] (or Messiah - meaining the Anointed One). Jesus and the disciples had come to Caesarea Philippi, when Jesus asked them who they thought he was. The apostle Peter confessed that he was the Christ and the Son of the Living God. This statement is generally known as the Confession of Peter and is also found in Mark 8 and Luke 9. Jesus then acknowledges that on "this rock" he would build his church. There is some controversy among Christians as to the meaning of Jesus' response to Peter. Within Protestantism there is general agreement that Jesus would build his church on the foundation of faith that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God". Roman Catholicism however, teaches that Jesus is saying that he will build his church on the apostle Peter himself.
