Matthew 16:12-22

12 Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the ¹Pharisees and Sadducees.

Peter's Confession of Christ

13 ²Now when Jesus came into the district of ³Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that ⁴the Son of Man is?"

14 And they said, "Some say ⁵John the Baptist; and others, ⁶Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16 Simon Peter answered, "You are ⁷the Christ, ⁸the Son of ⁹the living God."

17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, ¹⁰Simon Barjona, because ¹¹flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 "I also say to you that you are ¹²Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of ¹³Hades will not overpower it.

19 "I will give you ¹⁴the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and ¹⁵whatever * you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever * you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."

20 ¹⁶Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was ¹⁷the Christ.

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 ¹⁸From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and ¹⁹suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never * happen to You."
