* And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi : and he asked his disciples , saying : Whom do men say that the Son of man is ? * But they said : Some John the Baptist , and other some Elias , and others Jeremias , or one of the prophets . * Jesus saith to them : But whom do you say that I am ? * Simon Peter answered and said : Thou art Christ , the Son of the living God . * And Jesus answering , said to him : Blessed art thou , Simon Bar-Jona : because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee , but my Father who is in heaven . * And I say to thee : That thou art Peter ; and upon this rock I will build my church , and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it . * And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven . And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth , it shall be bound also in heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth , it shall be loosed also in heaven . * Then he commanded his disciples , that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ .
