Matthew 16:19-21

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁹ I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you tie up on earth will have been tied up in heaven, and whatever you untie on earth will have been untied in heaven.”

²⁰ Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

Jesus predicts his death

²¹ From then on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
