THE QUESTION OF JESUS CHRIST — "Whom do men," etc. 1. The first word we shall emphasize is the word "men." His mind soars above all national distinctions. 2. The other word we shall emphasize is the word " Son of man." He is humanity condensed. 3. We shall next emphasize the two words together — men and " Son of man."

C. Jones.) Parallel Verses KJV: When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? |
