"Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but my Father who is in the heavens; And I say unto you, Thou art Peter, and upon this stone I will make my church, and the gates of hell shall not overcome it; and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what you permit on earth shall be permitted in heaven." (Matt. 16, 17–19)
