Matthew 16:13. And after Y’shua came into the region of Caesarea Philippi He was asking His disciples saying, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14. And they said, “Some indeed John the Immerser, and others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15. He said to them, “And who do you say I am?” 16. And Simon Peter said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.” 17. And Y’shua said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because, not flesh and blood, but My Father, the One in the heavens, revealed this to you. 18. And I am saying to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I shall build My congregation and gates of Hades will not prevail against (the congregation). 19. I shall give you the keys of the Kingdom of the Heavens, and whatever you would bind upon the Earth will already have been bound in the heavens (with ongoing effect), and whatever you would loose upon the Earth will already have been loosed in the heavens (with ongoing effect).”
