Re: "Peter's declaration about Jesus" (Mt 16:13-20)
vv15-17 "He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' [16] Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.' [17] And Jesus answered him, 'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blodd has not REVEALED this to you, but my Father in heaven.'"

Commentary:
"...That is to say: 'Blessed are you because it is my Father who has taught this to you. Your earthly point of view did not deceive you, but heavenly inspiration is what has taught you. It is not flesh and blood that have allowed you to see me, but he of whom I am the only Son.'"
