And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,
Whom say the people that I am?
All Commentaries on Luke 9:18 Go To Luke 9
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Now it may raise a question, that Luke says that our Lord asked His disciples, Whom do men say that I am? at the same time that He was alone praying, and they also were with Him; whereas Mark says, that they were asked this question by our Lord on the way; but this is difficult only to him who never prayed on the way.
