Matthew 16:13-20

Listen to Matthew 16:13-20

13 Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

14 And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

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

16 And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17 And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

18 And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

19 I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.

20 Then he gave orders to the disciples to give no man word that he was the Christ.
