Matthew 16:17-19

17And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, 1Simon 2Barjona, because 3flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18I also say to you that you are 45Peter, and upon this 6rock I will build My church; and the gates of 7Hades will not overpower it.

19I will give you 8the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and 9whatever you bind on earth 10shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth 11shall have been loosed in heaven.”
