- MATTHEW 16 : 13-20 Peter's Profession of FAITH
- �
- When JESUS came to the region of
Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is? '
And they said, 'Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and
others Jeremiah or one of the
prophets'. 'But you, ' he said 'who do you say I am?'
Then Simon Peter spoke up, 'You are the Christ,' he said 'the Son of the Living God'.
JESUS replied, 'Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that
revealed this to you but my Father in Heaven. So I now say to you:
You are Peter and on this rock
I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against
it. I will give
you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in
Heaven and whatever you lose on earth shall be considered loosed in Heaven'. Then He gave strict
orders not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
