8. Jesus knew what they were saying, so he asked them, “Why are you discussing among yourselves about not having any bread? How little faith you have!
9. Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember when I broke the five loaves for the 5,000 men? How many baskets did you fill?
10. And what about the seven loaves for the 4,000 men? How many baskets did you fill?
11. How is it that you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? Guard yourselves from the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”
12. Then the disciples understood that he was not warning them to guard themselves from the yeast used in bread but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13. Jesus went to the territory near the town of Caesarea Philippi, where he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14. “Some say John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say Elijah, while others say Jeremiah or some other prophet.”
15. “What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”
16. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17. “Good for you, Simon son of John!” answered Jesus. “For this truth did not come to you from any human being, but it was given to you directly by my Father in heaven.
18. And so I tell you, Peter: you are a rock, and on this rock foundation I will build my church, and not even death will ever be able to overcome it.
19. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of heaven; what you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, and what you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”
20. Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
