Matthew 16:12-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

12. Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

13. When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,

14. And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

15. He said unto them,

16. And Simon Peter answered, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

17. And Jesus answered and said unto him,

18. And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it.

19. And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be what has been bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be what has been loosed in heaven.
