Matthew 16:13-20

131Now when Jesus came into the district of 2Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that 3the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say 4John the Baptist; and others, 56Elijah; but still others, 7Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16Simon Peter answered, “You are 89the Christ, 10the Son of 11the living God.” 17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, 12Simon 13Barjona, because 14flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18I also say to you that you are 1516Peter, and upon this 17rock I will build My church; and the gates of 18Hades will not overpower it. 19I will give you 19the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and 20whatever you bind on earth 21shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth 22shall have been loosed in heaven.” 2023Then He 24warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was 2526the Christ.
