Matthew 16:13-23

13NowG1161 when JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the partsG3313 of Cæsarea PhilippiG5376, he askedG2065 his disciplesG3101, sayingG3004, Who do menG444 sayG3004 that the SonG5207 of manG444 isG1510? 14And they saidG3004, Some sayG3004 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; some, ElijahG2243; and othersG243, JeremiahG2408, or oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396. 15He saith unto them, But who sayG3004 ye that I amG1510? 16And SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG3004, Thou art the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316. 17And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Blessed art thou, SimonG4613 Bar-Jonah: for fleshG4561 and bloodG129 hath not revealedG601 it unto thee, but my FatherG3962 who isG1510 in heavenG3772. 18And I alsoG2532 sayG3004 unto thee, that thou art PeterG4074, and upon this rockG4073 I will buildG3618 my churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of HadesG86 shall not prevail against it. 19I will giveG1325 unto thee the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772: and whatsoever thou shalt bindG1210 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and whatsoever thou shalt looseG3089 on earthG1093 shall beG1510 loosedG3089 in heavenG3772. 20ThenG5119 charged he the disciplesG3101 that they should tellG3004 no man that he wasG1510 the ChristG5547.

21From that time beganG757 JesusG2424 to showG1166 unto his disciplesG3101, that he must goG565 unto JerusalemG2414, and sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183 of the eldersG4245 and chiefG749 priestsG749 and scribesG1122, and be killedG615, and the thirdG5154 dayG2250 be raisedG1453 up. 22And PeterG4074 took him, and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 him, sayingG3004, BeG1510 it far from thee, LordG2962: this shall never beG1510 unto thee. 23But he turnedG4762, and saidG3004 unto PeterG4074, Get thee behind me, SatanG4567: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of GodG2316, but the things of menG444.
