Matthew 16:13-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

13 (A)When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi[a] he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 (B)They replied, “Some say John the Baptist,[b] others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 [c](C)Simon Peter said in reply, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus said to him in reply, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood[d] has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.

Footnotes

  1. 16:13 Caesarea Philippi: situated about twenty miles north of the Sea of Galilee in the territory ruled by Philip, a son of Herod the Great, tetrarch from 4 B.C. until his death in A.D. 34 (see note on Mt 14:1). He rebuilt the town of Paneas, naming it Caesarea in honor of the emperor, and Philippi (“of Philip”) to distinguish it from the seaport in Samaria that was also called Caesarea. Who do people say that the Son of Man is?: although the question differs from the Marcan parallel (Mk 8:27: “Who…that I am?”), the meaning is the same, for Jesus here refers to himself as the Son of Man (cf. Mt 16:15).
  2. 16:14 John the Baptist: see Mt 14:2. Elijah: cf. Mal 3:32–34; Sir 48:10; and see note on Mt 3:4. Jeremiah: an addition of Matthew to the Marcan source.
  3. 16:16 The Son of the living God: see Mt 2:15; 3:17. The addition of this exalted title to the Marcan confession eliminates whatever ambiguity was attached to the title Messiah. This, among other things, supports the view proposed by many scholars that Matthew has here combined his source’s confession with a post-resurrectional confession of faith in Jesus as Son of the living God that belonged to the appearance of the risen Jesus to Peter; cf. 1 Cor 15:5; Lk 24:34.
  4. 16:17 Flesh and blood: a Semitic expression for human beings, especially in their weakness. Has not revealed this…but my heavenly Father: that Peter’s faith is spoken of as coming not through human means but through a revelation from God is similar to Paul’s description of his recognition of who Jesus was; see Gal 1:15–16, “…when he [God]…was pleased to reveal his Son to me….”

Mateo 16:13-17
Ang Pulong Sa Dios

Ang Gipahayag ni Pedro bahin kang Jesus

(Mar. 8:27-30; Luc. 9:18-21)

13 Unya, sa dihang didto na sila si Jesus sa dapit sa Cesarea Filipos nangutana siya sa iyang mga tinun-an, “Sumala sa mga tawo, kinsa ba ako nga Anak sa Tawo?” 14 Mitubag sila, “May mga nagaingon nga ikaw si Juan nga tigbautismo. Ang uban nagaingon nga ikaw si Elias. Ang uban usab nagaingon nga ikaw si Jeremias, ug kon dili man, usa ka sa mga propeta.” 15 Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Apan alang kaninyo, kinsa ba ako?” 16 Mitubag si Pedro, “Ikaw ang Cristo,[a] ang Anak sa Dios nga buhi!”

17 Miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Simon nga anak ni Jonas, bulahan ka, tungod kay ang nagsulti kanimo niini dili tawo kondili ang akong Amahan sa langit.
