Matthew 16:13-28, Peter’s confession of Christ, Jesus predicts his death.

Matthew17

Peter’s confession is the rock upon which Christ will build his church. Notice the Greek ” will be having been” bound in heaven, which means that which is already done in heaven counts in building His church.

This last phrase probably refers to the Transfiguration occurring six days later. (Next chapter)
