    Comments: Some persons have argued that the occurrence of μήτι in {S:04300402900020} is contradictory, since it would appear from the context that the individuals posing the question regarded Jesus as a possible Messiah. On the other hand, asking the question in this form would have certainly fit the circumstances in which there was strong opposition to anyone claiming that Jesus was the Messiah. This form of the question would have avoided an overt commitment, while at the same time indicating peoples evident interest and concern.
