Kefa acknowledges Yeshua as God’s son

Mat 16:13–20

13 When Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) arrived in the outskirts of Kaisareia-Filippi (Caesarea Philippi), he asked his apprentices, “Who are people saying the son of humanity is?”

14 “Some say Yohan-the-immerser come back to life,” they answered, “but others say the promised prophet Eliyah (Elijah), and others, Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) or one of the other prophets.”[ref]

15 “But you yourselves,” he asked, “Who do you say I am?”

16 “You’re the promised messiah,” Shim’on (Simon) Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) answered, “the son of the living god.”[ref]

17 Then Yeshua answered, “You are blessed, Shim’on BarYonah, because it wasn’t any person that revealed that to you, but rather, my father who’s in the heavens. 18 And I can add that you’re Kefa (meaning ‘rock’), and I’ll build my assembly on that rock, and hell’s gates won’t be able to hold it back. 19 I’ll give you the heavenly kingdom’s keys, and whatever you restrain on the earth will be restrained in the heavens, and whatever you free on the earth will be freed in the heavens.”[ref]

20 Then he instructed his apprentices not to tell anyone that he’s the messiah.

Mat 14:1-2:

14 Around that time, King Herodes (Herod) the Tetrarch heard the news about Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), 2 and he said to his slaves, “This must be Yohan-the-immerser having come back from the dead, and so that’s why he can do all these miracles!”

Mrk 6:14-15:

14 Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) was now becoming well known and King Herodes (Herod) Antipas heard about him. He thought that maybe Yohan-the-immerser had come back to life and that’s why Yeshua was able to do miracles.[ref]

15 But others thought it was the promised return of Eliyah (Elijah), and yet others thought he must be another prophet like the ones in the Scriptures.
