AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 16:13 ¶ Now when Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" [Mark 8:27-29; Luke 9:18-20] |
Bible Question: why did he ask the disciples this question |
Bible Answer: swella Jesus reveals the answer to your question in verse 17 - And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven." The purpose Jesus asks the question is so that the answer will be revealed to the rest of the disciples. He was not so much testing them and it was not so much because of what the others in the crowds believed, but so that Peter would confess the Christ, as we see, Jesus says, God has revealed this to you. blessings abound, bowler |
