Interesting that the synoptic passage in ‘Mark’ reads only:
“ But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”. Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
No mention of ‘Christ’ or ‘Son of the living God’. For ‘Mark’ Jesus is only the ‘Messiah’ that is to say a man who is ‘The Anointed Saviour’. For ‘Mark’ Jesus is human, but by the time ‘Matthew’ is re-writing ‘Mark’ Jesus has become divine.

Both Matthew and Mark wrote peter's answer to Jesus' question.

@GodSpeed63 The point I am making is that they give different answers (Luke has the same answer as Mark - ‘ Peter answered, “God’s Messiah’. This perhaps reflects different ideas as to the divine or human nature of Jesus in early Christian communities.

No, just different view points on Peter's answer. You should know that when a crime has been committed, that the police will expect different details from different points of view. The account of the crime is the same, only the witness testimonies of the crime are slightly different.
