    Who is Jesus to you? Luke 9:18 – 27 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, ...read more
