And coming into the parts of Caesarea of Philip, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, Whom do men say Me the Son of Man to be?

And they said, Some say John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

He said to them, But you, whom do you say Me to be?

And answering, Simon Peter said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And answering, Jesus said to him, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in Heaven.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against her.

And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven. And whatever you bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven. And whatever you may loose on the earth shall be, having been loosed in Heaven.

Then He warned His disciples that they should tell no one that He is Jesus the Christ.
