--1. Matthew 16:6 Beware of the influences of those around you.
--2. Matthew 16:14 They responded based off of what they obviously listened to by way of who they hung around.
--3. Lord, Master, Rabbi, Teacher.
--4. Matthew 16:15 Jesus asked all of them the same question.
--5. Matthew 16:16 Peter was the only one to respond.

it answered his calling

E. One thought of Jesus even less than that
--1. Matthew 26:20-25
---- a. All 12 are at the table
---- b. They call Jesus “Lord” = Master, supreme in authority, superior to all
---- c. Matthew 26:25 Judas calls Jesus “Master” = Rabbi, teacher, leader.
