If I want to hear a certain person's confession with my ears, am I to ask that person: "Confess Jesus to me" or: "Confess Jesus for me"?

  • I have never heard either of those.
  • "confess to" is used, but for actions you are guilty of committing, such as crimes.
  • You confess to stealing money, for example.
  • The kind of confession you are talking about is different, and I am only familiar with the phrasing where a that -clause follows "confess" and there is neither "to me" nor "for me".
