Peter’s Confession of Christ

¹³^(A)Now when Jesus came into the region of ^(B)Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say that ^(C)the Son of Man is?” ¹⁴And they said, “Some say ^(D)John the Baptist; and others, ^[a]^(E)Elijah; and still others, ^[b]Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets.” ¹⁵He *said to them, “But who do you yourselves say that I am?” ¹⁶Simon Peter answered, “You are ^(F)the ^[c]Christ, ^(G)the Son of ^(H)the living God.” ¹⁷And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, ^(I)Simon ^[d]Barjona, because ^(J)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. ¹⁸And I also say to you that you are ^[e]^(K)Peter, and upon this ^[f]rock I will build My church; and the gates of ^(L)Hades will not overpower it.

The Great Commission

¹⁶But the eleven disciples proceeded ^(A)to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. ¹⁷And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but ^(B)some ^[a]were doubtful. ¹⁸And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “^(C)All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. ¹⁹^[b]^(D)Go, therefore, and ^(E)make disciples of ^(F)all the nations, ^(G)baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to ^[c]follow all that I commanded you; and behold, ^(H)I am with you ^[d]always, to ^(I)the end of the age.”
