* When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi , he asked his disciples , saying , Whom do men say that I the Son of man am ? * And they said , Some say that thou art John the Baptist : some , Elias ; and others , Jeremias , or one of the prophets . * He saith unto them , But whom say ye that I am ? * And Simon Peter answered and said , Thou art the Christ , the Son of the living God . * And Jesus answered and said unto him , Blessed art thou , Simon Barjona : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee , but my Father which is in heaven . * And I say also unto 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 unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven : and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . * Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ .
