Scripture (New Revised Standard Version)
Matthew 16:13-19
13 Now when Jesus
came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples,
‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’
14 And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, but others
Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’
15 He said
to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’
16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the
Son of the living God.’
17 And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon
son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,
but my Father in heaven.
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will
build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against
it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’
