Matthew 16:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, (A)Simon [a]Barjona, because (B)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 [b](C)Peter, and upon this [c]rock I will build My church; and the gates of (D)Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you (E)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and (F)whatever you [d]bind on earth [e]shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you [f]loose on earth [g]shall have been loosed in heaven.”

New American Standard Bible
Discipline and Prayer
15 “Now (A)if your brother sins[a], go and [b]show him his fault [c]in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that (B)on the [d]testimony of two or three witnesses every [e]matter may be confirmed. 17 And if he refuses to listen to them, (C)tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, (D)he is to be to you as [f]a Gentile and [g]a tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, (E)whatever you [h]bind on earth [i]shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you [j]loose on earth [k]shall have been loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, (F)it shall be done for them [l]by My Father who is in heaven. 20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, (G)I am there in their midst.”
