Rather than have people reach conclusions based on sensational or possibly distorted reports, Jesus wanted them to see for themselves that he was the Christ and to make a personal decision based on that evidence.
Yesus ingin agar orang - orang membuktikan sendiri bahwa dialah Kristus dan membuat keputusan pribadi berdasarkan bukti tersebut, ketimbang menarik kesimpulan berdasarkan laporan yang sensasional atau simpang siur.
