Mark 8
27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? 28And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

∙ 14y agoBecause he needed to make an assessment of what different aspects of society thought about him. He had to have confirmation that the majority (or at least a very large section) of the general public acknowledged him as a great teacher and leader, and that they were heeding his lessons and talks as being spiritually enlightening, life-enhancing and altogether positive. He also needed to know which groups in Judea at the time opposed him, or at least were prepared to tolerate him but with some reservations. That way, he could tailor his message and teaching to best suit the circumstances- winning over the doubters, and also not being so inflammatory in the face of political and religious hostility from the occupying Romans and the Jewish religious heirarchy as to cause them to imprison or execute him before his mission on Earth was done. The Jewish establishment was particularly alarmed at the massive following that he attracted, as well as by the many miracles and healings that he performed. To thus provoke them into cutting his work short before he had completed his task, would have partly defeated the object of his incarnation and jeopardised his legacy.
