Old Testament

New Testament

Matthew 16:17-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

19. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

20. Then He commanded His disciples to tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

21. From that time on, Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22. Then Peter took Him and began rebuking Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This shall not happen to You.”
