17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, ¹Simon Barjona, because ²flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 "I also say to you that you are ³Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of ⁴Hades will not overpower it.

19 "I will give you ⁵the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and ⁶whatever * you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever * you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."
