Matthew 16:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 16:17

15 He said to them, “But who do ^ayou say that I am?”

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.”
