This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We believe (saith Peter) and are sure, both from what we have heard from time, and from the miracles which we have seen wrought by thee,
that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. The very words by which St. Matthew {Mat_16:16} expresses that noble confession of his, which our Saviour calleth the rock, upon which he would build his church. But notwithstanding this acknowledgment, which speaks the seeds of this faith now sown in the heart of Peter, and the hearts of the rest; yet whoso considereth the passages of the other evangelists after this, will see reason to believe, that their persuasion as to this was but faint, till Christ by his resurrection declared himself the Son of God with power.
