And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, ^(C1)Simon ^(F1)Barjona, because ^(C2)flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

"And I also say to you that you are ^(F1)(C1)Peter, and upon this ^(F2)rock I will build My church; and the gates of ^(C2)Hades will not overpower it.

"I will give you ^(C1)the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and ^(C2)whatever you ^(F1)bind on earth ^(F2)shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you ^(F3)loose on earth ^(F2)shall have been loosed in heaven."

^(C1)Then He gave the disciples strict orders that they were to tell no one that He was ^(C2)the ^(F1)Christ.

^(C1)From that time ^(F1)Jesus began to ^(F2)point out to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem and to ^(C2)suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised up on the third day.
