16 Simon Peter answered, "You are athe Christ, bthe Son of cthe living God."

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

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

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

20 aThen He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was bthe Christ.

21 aFrom that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and bsuffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."

23 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, aSatan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and atake up his cross and follow Me.
