14 And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?”
16 And Shim‛on Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim.”
17 And יהושע answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shim‛on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.
18 “And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this rock I shall build My assembly, and the gates of the grave shall not overcome it.
19 “And I shall give you the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever you bind on earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loosen on earth shall be having been loosened in the heavens.”
20 Then He warned His taught ones that they should say to no one that He is יהושע the Messiah.
