Matthew 16:15 Context
13¶ When Iesus came into the coasts of Cesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom doe men say, that I, the sonne of man, am? 14And they said, Some say that thou art Iohn the Baptist, some Elias, and others Ieremias, or one of þe Prophets. 15He saith vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ the sonne of the liuing God. 17And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Blessed art thou Simon Bar Iona: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 16:15
Mt 16:15 But whom say ye that I am? This is the great and smaller catechism, the one great and essential question. Christ is the one object of the Christian's faith. We say we believe in him; but in whom do we believe? The hour had not come for the settlement of what should constitute the Christian confession.
