BSN: Caesarea Philippi

  • Caesarea Philippi was located in the remote north of Israel. It was where Jesus had a memorable, momentous, and fateful set of exchanges with His disciples. It was a pivotal point in His earthly ministry. Among other things…
    • He confirmed to His disciples His identity as Israel’s Messiah.
    • He prophesied of His crucifixion and resurrection in Jerusalem
    • He prophesied that some of them would live to see the coming of His kingdom.
  • These exchanges are recorded in Mt 16:13-28 and Mk 8:27 – 9:1. Luke writes about the exchanges as well but without identifying Caesarea Philippi as the location where they took place (Lk 9:18-27).
  • About a week after these exchanges, Jesus experienced His Transfiguration.
