10) CAESAREA PHILIPPI
Caesarea Philippi, also called Panias or “Banias”, originally named after the Greek god Pan,
was the city where Philip (Herod the Great’s son) established the capital of his tetrarchy. He
named it in honor of the Emperor of Rome, Augustus Caesar. Here, Peter made his confession
of the identity and deity of Christ. Jesus asked of the disciples: “Who do men say that I am?”
And Peter responded by saying: “You are the Christ (Messiah), son of the living God.”
Readings: Matthew 16:13-16, Mark 8:27-30, Luke 9:18-21
