Who is the Son of Man?
Matthew 16: 13-23
Now when
Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who
do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the
Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He
said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are
the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are
you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my
Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this
rock [b] I will build my church, and the gates of hell [c] shall
not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth shall be loosed [d] in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly
charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he
must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests
and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took
him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! [e] This
shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me,
Satan! You are a hindrance [f] to me. For you are not setting
your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
