Context of Matthew 16:13
11Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?” 12Then they understood that he had not told them to beware of the leaven in bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15“But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”
