This part of the devotional utterance, setting forth Christ's faith in the purpose of His Father and the intimate fellowship subsisting between Father and Son, appears in some texts of Lk. as a declaration made to the disciples (στραφεὶς πρὸς τ. μ. α., T. R.). The gesture implies that a solemn statement is to be made. τίς ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς, ὁ πατήρ : to know who the Son or the Father is = knowing the Son and the Father. The idea in Lk. is the same as in Mt., though the expression is different.
