Book of Common Prayer

¹¹ And I saw heaven open, and behold, a white horse. And he who sat upon him was faithful and true, and in righteousness did judge and make battle. ¹² His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no one knew but he himself. ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. ¹⁴ And the warriors who were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure linen. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth went a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen. And he will rule them with a rod of iron. And he trod the wine-vat of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.

¹³ When Jesus arrived in the vicinity of the city which is called Caesarea Phillippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am? ¹⁴ They said, Some say you are John the Baptist, some Elijah, some Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ He said to them, But who do you say that I am? ¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said, You are Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed that to you, but my Father who is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I say also to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my congregation. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

²⁰ Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
