Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11
How is it that ye do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread that ye should keep
yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12
Then they understood that he bade
them not to keep themselves from the leaven of bread, but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13
When Jesus came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I the Son of man am?
14
And they said, Some
say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
15
He said unto them, But who say ye that I am?
16
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed
it unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.
18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,
a small rock and upon the
large rock I will build my
congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.
19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever thou shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heaven.
20
Then he charged his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
