Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 16:13
Hilary of Poitiers · c. A.D. 310–367
Matt 16:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?”
On this verse:
“This confession of Peter met a worthy reward, for that he had seen the Son of God in the man. Whence it follows, Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven.”
