17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and whatever you bind on Earth shall have been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall have been loosed in Heaven.” 20 Then He gave the disciples strict orders that they were to tell no one that He was the Messiah.
