Our series on Questions Jesus Asked brings us today to Caesarea Philippi.

Continuing the series on the questions Jesus asked, I recall an article I read on the emotional impact of questions in different cultures. Americans don’t like to be asked the question “Why?” of their own behavior.

Once, when Jesus was speaking, his mother and brothers were standing outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

Jesus had returned to “his own town,” the text says, to Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee.

Our scripture reading is Matthew’s account of Jesus stilling the storm on the Sea of Galilee.
