Matthew 16:13-20
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Peter’s Confession of the Messiah
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,[a](A) He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”[b]
14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”(B)
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!”(C)
17 And Jesus responded, “Simon son of Jonah,[c](D) you are blessed because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father in heaven.(E) 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter,[d] and on this rock[e] I will build My church,(F) and the forces[f] of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,(G) and whatever you bind on earth is already bound[g] in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed[h] in heaven.”
20 And He gave the disciples orders to tell no one that He was[i] the Messiah.(H)
