Matthew 16

Who am I?  A very insightful question to ask; and one that Jesus asked of His disciples.  There were many opinions among His followers; but Peter accurately stated the correct answer, one that was not the product of human reasoning but Divine revelation.  Peter states that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the One the nation had anticipated to deliver them.  After this disclosure, Jesus begins teaching His followers about His mission to Jerusalem to suffer and die on behalf of sinners.
