157:5.1 The new and [[vital]] feature of [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[confession]] was the [[clear]]-cut [[recognition]] that [[Jesus]] was the [[Son of God]], of his unquestioned [[divinity]]. Ever since his [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:2._THE_BAPTISM_OF_JESUS baptism] and the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_137#137:4._THE_WEDDING_AT_CANA wedding at Cana] these [[apostles]] had variously regarded him as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah], but it was not a part of the Jewish [[concept]] of the [[Messiah|national deliverer]] that he should be [[divine]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] had not taught that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah] would spring from [[divinity]]; he was to be the " [[Anoint|anointed one]], " but hardly had they [[contemplated]] him as being " the [[Son of God]]. " In the second [[confession]] more [[emphasis]] was placed upon the combined [[nature]], the [[supernal]] [[fact]] that he was the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] and the [[Son of God]], and it was upon this great [[truth]] of the [[union]] of the [[human]] [[nature]] with the [[divine]] [[nature]] that [[Jesus]] [[declared]] he would build the [[kingdom of heaven]].

157:5.2 [[Jesus]] had sought to live his life on [[earth]] and complete his [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal mission] as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. His followers were disposed to regard him as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism expected Messiah]. Knowing that he could never fulfill their [[Messiah|Messianic]] [[expectations]], he endeavored to [[effect]] such a [[modification]] of their [[concept]] of the [[Messiah]] as would enable him partially to meet their [[expectations]]. But he now [[recognized]] that such a [[plan]] could hardly be carried through successfully. He therefore [[elected]] [[bold]]ly to disclose the third plan—openly to [[announce]] his [[divinity]], acknowledge the [[truthfulness]] of [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s [[confession]], and directly [[proclaim]] to [[the twelve]] that he was a [[Son of God]].
