Jesus left the area of the Sea of Galilee and journeyed north, a distance of about 50 miles, into the remote area of Caesarea Philippi, a Gentile city at the southern tip of Mt. Hermon. It had been constructed by Philip, son of Herod the Great and had long been the seat for the worship of the pagan god Pan. What could possibly have been His motive to go to that remote and pagan area? The only answer could be that He needed to find time and a place where he would not be followed by the multitudes where He could teach His Disciples so He chose this remote area where He would have few interruptions. He took them there and set them down and began teaching and asking them questions.
