New Testament

Matthew 16:9-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

10. Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

11. How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

12. Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

13. Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

14. And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15. He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

16. Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17. And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

18. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rockI will build my church, and the gates of hellshall not prevail against it.
