Matthew 16:15-20
New American Standard Bible
15 He *said to them, “But who do you yourselves say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are (A)the [a]Christ, (B)the Son of (C)the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, (D)Simon [b]Barjona, because (E)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are [c](F)Peter, and upon this [d]rock I will build My church; and the gates of (G)Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you (H)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (I)whatever you [e]bind on earth [f]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you [g]loose on earth [h]shall have been loosed in heaven.” 20 (J)Then He gave the disciples strict orders that they were to tell no one that He was (K)the [i]Christ.
