WHO IS THIS CHRIST?

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea 

Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, 

Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John

the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, 

or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, 

But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter 

answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the 

Son of the living God.  And Jesus answered 

and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon 

Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed 

it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, 

and upon this rock I will build my church; 

and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 13:16-18
