Matthew 16:15-19
Christian Standard Bible
15 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”(A)
17 Jesus responded, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,[a](B) because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven.(C) 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,(D) and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,(E) and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound[b] in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed[c] in heaven.”
