Thematic Bible
Foundation » The apostles being a foundation

and, the wall of the city, having twelve foundations, and, upon them, twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
And Jesus, answering, said to him - Happy, art thou, Simon Bar-yona, - because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. And, I also, unto thee, say - Thou, art Peter, - and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it.
