Matthew 16:10-20

10 neither of seven loaves into four thousand of men, and how many baskets ye took?
11 Why understand ye not, for I said not to you of bread, Be ye ware of the sourdough of Pharisees and of Sadducees?
12 Then they understood, that he said not to beware of [the] sourdough of loaves, but of the teaching of Pharisees and of Sadducees.
13 And Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, and asked his disciples, and said [saying], Whom say men to be man's Son?
14 And they said, Some John Baptist; others Elias; and others Jeremy, or one of the prophets.
15 Jesus said to them [Jesus saith to them], But whom say ye me to be?
16 Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art Christ, the Son of God living [Thou art Christ, the Son of quick God].
17 [Forsooth] Jesus answered, and said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood showed not to thee, but my Father that is in heavens.
18 And I say to thee, that thou art Peter, and on this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have power against it. [And I say to thee, for thou art Peter, and upon this stone I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not have might, or strength, against it.]
19 And to thee I shall give the keys of the kingdom of heavens; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound also in heavens; and whatever thou shalt unbind on earth, shall be unbound also in heavens.
20 Then he commanded to his disciples, that they should say to no man, that he was Jesus Christ.
