Concept:The question deals with Jesus' inquiry about His identity, which leads directly to Peter's confession that Jesus is the Messiah.
Explanation:Jesus asked this question while He was with His disciples in the region of Caesarea Philippi.
It was not asked at the Transfiguration, nor was it meant to show that popular opinion determines His Messiahship.
The disciples replied that some people said Jesus was John the Baptist, others said Elijah, and others said Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
Immediately after this, Jesus asked the disciples, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
This answer is known as the Great Confession.
So Jesus' first question was meant to contrast the people's opinions with the disciples' own faith.
The entire conversation happened in the context of the Great Confession.
Answer:D. In the context of the Great Confession.
