Jesus Asks: “What Think Ye Of Christ?”



At a time when many Pharisees were gathered around him, Jesus asked them:

“What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he?”

The Pharisees replied:

“The son of David.”

Then Jesus replied:

“How say they that Christ is David’s son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said unto my Lord, “Sit thou on my right hand till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”’ David therefore calleth him Lord. How is he then his son?”

The people heard Jesus gladly, but no one was able to answer the question.

Previous John 2:1-11 Jesus Changes Water to Wine Jesus and his disciples--also Mary, his mother--were guests at a wedding in Cana of Galilee after he had gathered the first of his disciples. When it was time to serve wine to the wedding guests, Mary said to Jesus: “They have no wine.” Jesus replied: “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.” Mary said to the servants: “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Designating the six waterpots of stone, Jesus said to the servants: “Fill the waterpots with water.” When they were filled, Jesus instructed to the servants: “Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.” When it was carried to the ruler of the feast, it was fine wine. The disciples, seeing this manifestation of the glory of Jesus, believed on him. Next

Their religious duties completed, the parents went a day’s journey on their return to Nazareth before they discovered that Jesus was not in the company traveling with them. They returned to Jerusalem seeking him and, after three days, found him in the temple. He was sitting in the midst of the temple teachers, both hearing and asking them questions. All that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. His parents were amazed and Mary asked: “Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.” And Jesus replied:           “How is it that ye sought me? Know ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Next

He began to preach the gospel of God in the synagogues, saying: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye, and believe the gospel.” His fame was spread through all the regions round about. Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been reared, and went to the synagogue on the Sabbath, as was his custom. He stood up and read from the book of the prophet Isaiah, where it was written: “‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised; to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.’” All eyes fastened on him as he began to preach, saying: “This day is this scripture fulfilled...
