13 - As they were coming into the district of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 And they answered, “Some say you’re John the Baptist, others say Elijah, or Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 And he said to them, “But who do you say I am?” 16 Peter andwered, “You are the Christ! {“Anointed One, Messiah} Son of the living God!”
17 “You are blessed, Simon (Peter) Bar-Jonah/Son of Jonah” Jesus said. “For no one has told you this, except my Father in heaven has shown it to you. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock” {belief, knowing} I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” {Likely was speaking Aramaic, so gates of sheol “where there is no doing or knowing” (no awareness, Eccles.9:5,10. “Oh death, where is thy sting!?” 1Cor.15:55}
19 “I will give to you {disciples/followers following} the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven.” {Or, and so shall it be? Prophesying the mature state, when God’s Spirit/Presence flows cleanly through us without our various impediments, of corners and shadows? Thus flows fully outward with healing, repairing, able to make whole, according to God’s blueprint. That God is Life and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) means nothing imperfect can endure.} 20 Then he strictly charged them to tell no one that he was the Christ.
