17 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, ^aSimon ¹Bar-Jonah, because ^bflesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are ¹^aPeter, and upon this ²rock I will build My church; and the gates of ^bHades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you ^athe keys of the kingdom of heaven; and ^bwhatever you bind on earth ¹shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth ¹shall have been loosed in heaven.”
