“To whom shall we go?” Not from the doctrine of Christ, his lessons of love and charity, to the darkness of unbelief, the wickedness of the world. While many were turning from the Saviour who had witnessed his miraculous works, who had seen him heal the sick and comfort the distressed, who had been electrified by the heavenly majesty of his bearing, Peter expresses the faith of the disciples, “Thou art that Christ.” Never will they deny that he is the world’s Redeemer, the Son of God. The very thought of losing this anchor of their souls thrilled their hearts with anguish. To be again destitute of a Saviour, subject to fear and superstition, would be to be adrift upon a dark and stormy sea. {2SP 289.1}

"Til hvem skal vi gå hen?" Vi vil ikke forlade Kristus eller vende os bort fra hans kærlighed og barmhjertighed til vantroens mørke og verdens ugudelighed. Medens mange, som havde været vidne til hans underfulde gerninger, som havde set, hvorledes han helbredte de syge og trøstede de bedrøvede, og som havde været påvirkede af den himmelske majestæt, der vist sig i hans opførsel, vendte sig bort fra Frelseren, vidner Peter om disciplenes tro, idet hans siger: "Du er Guds Hellige." De vil aldrig fornægte, at han er verdens Forløser og Guds Søn. Den blotte tanke om, at de kunne miste dette anker for deres tro, bragte dem dyb sjælesmerte. At være uden en frelser, udsatte for frygt og overtro, ville være ligesom at drive omkring på et mørkt og stormfuldt hav.
