the living God." 016:017 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. 016:018 I also tell you that you are Peter,{Peter's name, Petros in Greek, is the word for a specific rock or stone.} and on this rock{Greek, petra, a rock mass or bedrock.} I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades{or, Hell} will not prevail against it. 016:019 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven." 016:020 Then he charged the disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus the Christ. 016:021 From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 016:022 Peter took him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you." 016:023 But he turned, and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men." 016:024 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 016:025 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. 016:026 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? 016:027 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds. 016:028 Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." 017:001 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. 017:002 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. 017:003 Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him. 017:004 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let's make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 017:005 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him." 017:006 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
