Matthew 16:13

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

From Background Notes [BN] for the 28th & 1st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

At one level, Jesus is checking the opinion polls to discover public perceptions of his person and his work. He does this, not because...



... he intends to change direction or accommodate to the popular sentiment, but to offer a foil to his more important question to follow that puts the onus on the disciples to disclose their own feelings about him. [BN,2]
