Who The Apostles Believed Jesus to Be:
13
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His
disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said,
“Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter
answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus
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.
18 And I also
say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the
gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the
kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and
whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then He commanded
His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.
Matthew 16:13-20

YHWH is Creator (Is.

Kyrios is used in the Greek Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament) in place of God’s
self-given name YHWH and Adonai.
Whenever an Old Testament verse is used to reference Jesus in the New
Testament and “Lord” is present, in the Old Testament reference the passage most often includes one of God’s
names in the Hebrew.
Thus through the usage of these passages, the New Testament authors are equating Jesus with
God.
For more discussion on this see Erickson (631) and Grudem (544-545).

“Who do men

Isaiah 40:3
קֹורא בַּ ִּמ ְד ָּ֕בר פַּנּ֖ ּו ֶ ֣ד ֶרְך יְ הוָ֑ה י ְַּשרּו בעֲר ֵ֔בה

ֵֽ ְמ ִּסלּ֖ה ל
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the
way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway
for our God.
Mark 1:1-4
Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ. 2 Καθὼς γέγραπται
ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ· Ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν
μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου· 3
φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου,
εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ, 4 ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ὁ
βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς
ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. 2 As it is written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My
messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way
before You.” 3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’
” 4
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Rhodes, 143-144.
“When Peter added, ‘the Son of the living God,’ he was making a statement that was stunning in its
implications.
The expression ‘son of’ was a well-known Hebraic expression: to be ‘son of something, or someone’
meant ‘to have the nature of that something, or someone.’
Thus, to call Jesus ‘the Son of the living God,’ is to call
Hi God.
