Matthew 16:16-18

New Matthew Bible

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said, You are Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed that to you, but my Father who is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I say also to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my congregation. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
