rwp @Matthew:16:14 @{And they said } (\hoi de eipan \). They were ready to respond for they knew that popular opinion was divided on that point (14:1f .|). They give four different opinions . It is always a risky thing for a pastor to ask for people 's opinions of him . But Jesus was not much concerned by their answers to this question . He knew by now that the Pharisees and Sadducees were bitterly hostile to him . The masses were only superficially following him and they looked for a political Messiah and had vague ideas about him . How much did the disciples understand and how far have they come in their development of faith ? Are they still loyal ?
