Matthew 16:17-19

17And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BlessedG3107 are you, 1SimonG4613 2BarjonaG920, becauseG3754 3fleshG4561 and bloodG129 did not revealG601 this to you, but My FatherG3962 whoG3588 is in heavenG3772.

18And I alsoG2532 sayG3004 to you that you are 45PeterG4074, and upon thisG3778 6rockG4073 I will buildG3618 My churchG1577; and the gatesG4439 of 7HadesG86 will not overpowerG2729 it.

19I will giveG1325 you 8the keysG2807 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; and 9whateverG3739G1437 you 10bindG1210 on earthG1093 11shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772, and whateverG3739G1437 you 12looseG3089 on earthG1093 13shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.”
