St Matthew 16:6-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7. But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread.

8. And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

9. Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

10. Nor the seven loaves among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

11. Why do you not understand that it was not concerning the bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12. Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13. 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?

14. But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

15. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

16. Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

17. 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.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
