When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.
14
"Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."
15
"But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.
16
"You," replied Simon Peter, "are the Christ, the Son of the ever-living God."
17
"Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jonah," said Jesus; "for mere human nature has not revealed this to you, but my Father in Heaven.

19
I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens; and whatever you bind on earth shall remain bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall remain loosed in Heaven."
20
Then He urged His disciples to tell no one that He was the Christ.
21
From this time Jesus began to explain to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer much cruelty from the Elders and the High Priests and the Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again.
