Ambrose of Milan

Commentary on Luke (397)

Although the other apostles know, yet Peter answers for them all, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Thus he who manifested both the nature and the name, in whom is the sum of the virtues, encompassed all things. Do we also ask questions about the generation of God, when Paul has judged that he knows nothing, save Christ Jesus and him crucified, and Peter thought nothing else should be confessed, save that he is the Son of God?

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

He said unto them, but whom say ye that I am?.... Which was the main thing he had in view in this private conference; and in order to introduce which, he puts the former question: Peter answering: in the name of the rest of the disciples, they assenting to it: said, the Christ of God; The Persic version reads, "Christ God"; the Messiah, who is the Son of God, and God over all, blessed for ever. The Cambridge copy of Beza's reads, "the Christ, the Son of God". See Gill on Luk 2:26.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

But whom say ye that I am? - Whom do ye tell the people that I am? What do ye preach concerning me? See also on Mat 16:14 (note); and see the observations at the end of this chapter, (note). The Christ of God - The Coptic and later Persic read, Thou art Christ God. After this comes in Peter’s confession of our Lord, as related Mat 16:16 (note), etc., where see the notes; and see also the observations of Granville Sharp, Esq., at the end of this chapter.
