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.

20 Alors il recommanda aux disciples de ne dire à personne qu’il était le Christ.

21 Dès lors Jésus commença à faire connaître à ses disciples qu’il fallait qu’il allât à Jérusalem, qu’il souffrît beaucoup de la part des anciens, des principaux sacrificateurs et des scribes, qu’il fût mis à mort, et qu’il ressuscitât le troisième jour.

22 Pierre, l’ayant pris à part, se mit à le reprendre, et dit: A Dieu ne plaise, Seigneur! Cela ne t’arrivera pas.

23 Mais Jésus, se retournant, dit à Pierre: Arrière de moi, Satan!tu m’es en scandale; car tes pensées ne sont pas les pensées de Dieu, mais celles des hommes.
