The Synoptics all declare that the Messiahship of Jesus was not revealed to his disciples until late in his ministry. Is this true?
John: It is not. It was known to them at the beginning of his ministry. Before Peter was called Andrew said, “We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ” (i, 41). On the following day Nathanael said to Jesus, “Thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel” (49).
