What did Peter, Martha, and the Ethiopian eunuch confess about Jesus?

Peter, Martha, and the Ethiopian eunuch each confessed Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter declared, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God'; Martha and the eunuch similarly affirmed belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Les explains that Peter, Martha, and the Ethiopian eunuch all confessed Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter answered Jesus, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' At Lazarus' death, Jesus said, 'I am the resurrection and the life,' and asked, 'Believest thou this?' Martha replied, 'I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' The Ethiopian eunuch, when Philip asked, 'Believest thou this?' answered, 'I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Les points out that their confessions never mentioned death, burial, and resurrection. He contrasts this with Saul at Tarsus, who after his conversion preached in the synagogue not Christ crucified but that He is the Son of God.
