Tree Of Life Version

Matthew 16:15-23 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

15. He said, “But who do you say I am?”

16. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

17. Yeshua said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven!

18. And I also tell you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My community; and the gates of Sheol will not overpower it.

19. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will have been forbidden in heaven and what you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven.”

20. Then He ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Messiah.

21. From that time on, Yeshua began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22. Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Never, Master! This must never happen to You!”

23. But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.”
