¹⁶ Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. ¹⁸ And I tell you, you are Peter , and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it .
