- When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
- They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
- "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
- Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
- Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.
|
- And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
- I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
- Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.
