In Caesarea Philippi,Tel Dan, we learned about Jesus’s claims to authority. Jesus did a lot of ministry in this region. There were many temples and areas for idol worship, including the temple of Zeus, Pan, and Artemis. A nearby cave was known to the locals as the gates of hell. It is here where Jesus asks in Matthew 16, “Who do people say the son of man is?” and “Who do you say that I am?” When Peter responds saying that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus says, “you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
