“And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?”
Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, who do the crowds say I am? — Luke's setting for the Caesarea Philippi confession is private prayer — Jesus praying alone while the disciples are with him. The private prayer context makes the identity question emerge from the communion with the Father rather than from public controversy.
