14. They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”
15. He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16. Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17. Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18. I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19. I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
20. Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ.
21. From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
22. Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done 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 on the things of men.”
24. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.
