13 When Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) arrived in the outskirts of Kaisareia-Filippi (Caesarea Philippi), he asked his apprentices, “Who are people saying the son of humanity is?”

14 “Some say Yohan-the-immerser come back to life,” they answered, “but others say the promised prophet Eliyah (Elijah), and others, Yirmiyah (Jeremiah) or one of the other prophets.”[ref]

15 “But you yourselves,” he asked, “Who do you say I am?”

16 “You’re the promised messiah,” Shim’on (Simon) Kefa (Peter; Grk. Petros) answered, “the son of the living god.”[ref]

17 Then Yeshua answered, “You are blessed, Shim’on Bar-Yonah, because it wasn’t any person that revealed that to you, but rather, my father who’s in the heavens. 18 And I can add that you’re Kefa (meaning ‘rock’), and I’ll build my assembly on that rock, and hell’s gates won’t be able to hold it back. 19 I’ll give you the heavenly kingdom’s keys, and whatever you restrain on the earth will be restrained in the heavens, and whatever you free on the earth will be freed in the heavens.”[ref]

20 Then he instructed his apprentices not to tell anyone that he’s the messiah.
