And I will ^agive^• unto thee the ^bkeys of the ^ckingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt ^dbind^• on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in 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, ^aElias^•; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

 He saith unto them, But whom say ^aye^• that I am?

 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the ^aChrist, the ^bSon of the ^cliving God.

 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon ^aBar^•-jona: for flesh and blood hath not ^brevealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this ^arock^• I will build my ^bchurch; and the gates of ^chell shall not ^dprevail^• against it.

 And I will ^agive^• unto thee the ^bkeys of the ^ckingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt ^dbind^• on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the ^aChrist.
