- Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
- And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
- He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
- Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
- And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

- "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
- "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."
- Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.
