And Simon Peter an-16 swered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. E And Jesus an-17 swered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon BarJonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I also say unto18 thee, that thou art 'Peter, and upon this 3rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. FF I will give unto thee the19 keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

D And he asked 29 them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. LUKE 9:18-21 A And it came to pass, as he18 was praying alone, B the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am? cc And they answering said, 19 John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

B And Peter took22 him, and began to rebuke him, saying, 'Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee. But he turned,23 and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumblingblock unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

A LUKE 9:28-36 And it came to pass about28 eight days after these sayings, he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray. B And as he was praying, the29 fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and dazzling. c And behold, there talkedз0 with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah; whoзr appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and they32 that were with him were heavy with sleep: but 3when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
