Peter’s Confession of the Messiah
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,[a](A) he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is? ’[b]
14 They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’(B)
15 ‘But you,’ he asked them, ‘who do you say that I am? ’
16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’(C)
17 Jesus responded, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,[c](D) because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven.(E) 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,(F) and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,(G) and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound[d] in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed[e] in heaven.’ 20 Then he gave the disciples orders to tell no one that he was[f] the Messiah.(H)
