Peter's confession at Caesarea Philippi

You are the Christ, the Son of the living God, Peter answered, and Jesus blessed him: on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:16-18).

📖 Matthew 16:13–15

13When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”
