The Words of Jesus
Thou Art the Christ
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:15–16
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
What is happening
At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is, and then who they say he is. Peter answers.
Why it matters
It is the turning point of the Gospels: the first time a disciple says it out loud.
Scales
- Small, 12 × 16 in — More intimate. The work sits within the room rather than leading it.
- Classic, 18 × 24 in — Our natural starting point: present enough to hold the wall, with room to breathe around it.
- Large, 24 × 32 in — More presence across the room. The work becomes a stronger architectural element.
