Matthew 16:13-16 Peter s Confession of Christ

      13Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is?  14And they said, Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.  15He said to them, But who do you say that I am?  16Simon Peter answered, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.  17And 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. 18 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. 19 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.  20Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.
