KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea 

Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom 

do men say that I the Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John 

the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, 

or one of the prophets.  He saith unto them, 

But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, 

Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed 

art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath 

not revealed it unto thee, but my Father 

which is in heaven.  And I say also unto thee, That 

thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build 

my church; and the gates of hell shall not 

prevail against it.  And I will give unto thee the keys 

of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt 

bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever 

thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16: 13-19
