13
Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his talmidim, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
14
They said, "Some say Yochanan the immerser, some, Eliyah, and others, Yirmeyahu, or one of the prophets."
15
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16
Shim`on Kefa answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
17
Yeshua answered him, "Blessed are you, Shim`on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18
I also tell you that you are Kefa, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of She'ol will not prevail against it.
19
I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you will bind on eretz will be bound in heaven; and whatever you will loose on eretz will be loosed in heaven."
20
Then he charged the talmidim that they should tell no man that he is Yeshua the Messiah.
21
From that time, Yeshua began to show to his talmidim that he must go to Yerushalayim and suffer many things from the Zakenim, chief Kohanim, and Sofrim, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22
Kefa took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you."
23
But he turned, and said to Kefa, "Get behind me, Hasatan! You are a stumbling-block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men."
