Once Andrew had said to Peter, "We have found
the Messiah" [John 1:41]. Philip had said to
Nathanael. "We have found him of whom Moses
in the law, and prophets, did write, Jesus of Naz-
areth, the son of Joseph." Nathanael when he had
seen Jesus had said, "Rabbi, thou are the Son of
God; thou art the King of Israel" [John 1:49].

After Jesus walked on the sea the disciples had
exclaimed, "of a truth thou art the Son of God"
[Matthew 14:33].

And in Capernaum Peter had declared, "And we
believe and are sure that thou art that Christ,
Son of the living God" [John 6:69].
