Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, a“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 So they said, a“Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or bone of the prophets.”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, a“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, afor flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but bMy Father who is in heaven.
18 And I also say to you that ayou are Peter, and bon this rock I will build My church, and cthe gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 aAnd I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth1 will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
