5th Sunday in January
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 16:13-21

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He began asking His
disciples, saying, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" "And they said, "Some
say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of
the prophets." "He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Simon Peter
answered and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
And Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh
and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also
say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the
gates of Hades shall not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever
you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Then He warned the disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Christ.
From that time Jesus Christ 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 be raised up on the third day. Matthew 16:13-21 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

Jesus went to the area of Caesarea Philippi. Jesus said to his followers, "I am
the Son of Man. Who do the people say I am?" The followers answered, "Some people
say you are John, the Baptizer. Other people say you are Elijah. And some people
say that you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "Then Jesus said to his followers,
"And who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of
the living God."
Jesus answered, "You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah. No person taught you that.
My Father in heaven showed you who I am. So I tell you, you are Peter. And I will
build my church on this rock. The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. When you speak judgment here
on earth, that judgment will be God's judgment. When you promise forgiveness here
on earth, that forgiveness will be God's forgiveness."
Then Jesus warned his followers not to tell anyone that he was the Christ. From
that time Jesus began telling his followers that he must go to Jerusalem. Jesus
explained that the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of
the law would make him suffer many things. And Jesus told his followers that he
must be killed. Then, on the third day, he would be raised from death.
Matthew 16:13- 21 (ERV)
