Peter's Confession At Caesarea Philippi

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.
