"Why did you leave out the good stuff?"

And why did you?

When Jesus asked the collected disciples, the first century equivalent of the self-interpreters, "Who do the people say that I am?" He did not get a right answer. When Jesus asked the collective Apostles He got no answer either. It was only when the Apostle, whom Jesus would appoint the first Pope, St. Peter, stepped up that He got the right answer, but not from St. Peter alone, but from the Holy Spirit speaking through St. Peter. That is exactly how the Holy Spirit speaks through the Church today. That all of this happened in pagan territory (Caesarea Philippi) at the source of the River Jordan, is of remarkable significance too.

Peace to you.

...St. Peter, stepped up that He got the right answer, but not from St. Peter alone, but from the Holy Spirit speaking through St. Peter.

And yet; only 4 verses later...
