“For I resolved to know

nothing while I was

with you except

Jesus Christ and him crucified.”

“WHO DO PEOPLE SAY THE SON OF MAN IS?”

(Matthew 16:13-17)

Intr.:

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,

he asked his disciples,

A. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

They replied,

1. “Some say

John the Baptist;

2. others say

Elijah; and

3. still others say,

Jeremiah or

one of the prophets.”

B. “But what about you?” he asked

“Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered,

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

End:

Jesus replied,” Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,

for this was not revealed to you by man,

but by my Father in heaven.”
