157:3.2 [[Jesus]] had gone to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon Mount Hermon] in his early [[experience]] with the affairs of [[the kingdom]], and now that he was entering upon the final [[epoch]] of his [[work]], he [[desired]] to return to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:3._THE_FORTY_DAYS this mount] of [[trial]] and [[triumph]], where he [[hoped]] [[the apostles]] might gain a new [[vision]] of their [[responsibilities]] and acquire new [[strength]] for the trying times just ahead.

157:3.3 As they paused for lunch, [[Jesus]] suddenly confronted [[the twelve]] with the first question he had ever addressed to them concerning himself. He asked this surprising question, " Who do men say that I am? "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_9]

157:3.4 [[Jesus]] had spent long months in [[training]] these [[apostles]] as to the [[nature]] and [[character]] of the [[kingdom of heaven]], and he well knew the [[time]] had come when he must begin to [[teach]] them more about his own [[nature]] and his [[personal]] [[relationship]] to [[the kingdom]].

157:3.5 More than half [[the apostles]] participated in answering [[Jesus]]' question. They told him that he was regarded as a [[prophet]] or as an extraordinary man by all who knew him; that even his [[enemies]] greatly [[feared]] him, accounting for his [[powers]] by the [[indictment]] that he was in league with the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:7._THE_REBEL_MIDWAYERS prince of devils]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub]. They told him that some in [[Judea]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria] who had not met him [[personally]] believed he was [[John the Baptist]] risen from the dead. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] explained that he had been, at sundry times and by various [[persons]], [[compared]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah Isaiah], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah].

157:3.6 When [[Jesus]] had beckoned them again to be seated, and while still standing before them, he said: " This has been [[revealed]] to you by [[Universal Father|my Father]]. The hour has come when you should know the [[truth]] about me. But for the time being I charge you that you tell this to no man. Let us go hence.

157:3.7 And so they resumed their [[journey]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarea_Philippi Caesarea-Philippi], arriving late that evening and stopping at the [[home]] of Celsus, who was expecting them. [[The apostles]] slept little that night; they seemed to sense that a great [[event]] in their lives and in the [[work]] of [[the kingdom]] had transpired.
