⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. ⁴¹ The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).^{(A) 42} And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called^(B) Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter^[a]).^(C)

¹⁷ Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,^(A) but by my Father in heaven.^{(B) 18} And I tell you that you are Peter,^[a](C) and on this rock I will build my church,^(D) and the gates of Hades^[b] will not overcome it. ¹⁹ I will give you the keys^(E) of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be^[c] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be^[d] loosed in heaven.”^(F)
