When I read the book of John, it appears the chosen disciples actually knew the identity of Jesus. In their conversations to one another and Jesus, they address him as Jesus of Nazareth, but also Rabbi, King of Israel and the Son of God. Later Peter would answer: "You are the Christ. The Son of the living God."
I'm sure they didn't comprehend many of His teachings, His death, to name a few.
We then ask "Why did they act the way they acted, if they knew who He was?" You and I say we know Him and have received Him. Why do we act the way we act?
Thank God He is the Word (Logos) ; the mediator, God Himself and Grace and Truth!
Please read; John 1
Good question. Thank you for your post.
