When Jesus asked this question of his disciples, there were many questions being asked about this man named Jesus. Many knew him as the son of Joseph and Mary, the carpenter of Nazareth near Galilee. The disciples repeated what they had heard from others: you are this, that, or the other. But, Simon, son of Jonah, said something important.
“You are the Christ. The son of the Living God.” (Matthew 16.16)
