Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and who they say he is. Simon Peter answers that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses Peter and says this revelation came from God. The document then discusses how as the Son of Man, Jesus was fully human yet called people his brethren, trusted God during temptation and suffering, and faced death to become the author of salvation for all believers.

1. Matt. 16:13-17 - 13When Jesus came into the
region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples,
saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man,
am?” 14So they said, “Some say John the Baptist,
some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say
that I am?” 16Simon Peter answered and said, “You
are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17Jesus
answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon
Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this
to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
