15 Et vous, leur dit-il, qui dites-vous que je suis?
16 Simon Pierre répondit: Tu es le Christ, le Fils du Dieu vivant.
17 Jésus, reprenant la parole, lui dit: Tu es heureux, Simon, fils de Jonas; car ce ne sont pas la chair et le sang qui t’ont révélé cela, maisc’est mon Père qui est dans les cieux.
18 Et moi, je te dis que tu es Pierre, et que surcette pierre je bâtirai mon Église, et que lesportes du séjour des morts ne prévaudront point contre elle.
19 Je te donnerai les clefs du royaume des cieux: ce que tu lieras sur la terre sera lié dans les cieux, et ce que tu délieras sur la terre sera délié dans les cieux.
