Peter's Confession At Caesarea Philippi

¹⁷ And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
