MATTHEW 16:18 ON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH

"SIMON PETER ANSWERED, 'YOU ARE THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.' JESUS, REPLIED, 'BLESSED ARE YOU, SIMON SON OF JONAH, FOR THIS WAS NOT REVEALED TO YOU BY FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT BY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.  AND I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE PETER, AND ON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH AND THE GATES OF HADES WILL NOT OVERCOME IT.  I WILL GIVE YOU THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, AND WHATEVER YOU LOOSE ON EARTH WILL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN. THEN HE ORDERED HIS DISCIPLES NOT TO TELL ANYONE HE WAS THE MESSIAH."   MATTHEW 16: 16-20.
