Context Reading
18I also tell you that you are Peter,and on this rockI will build my assembly, and the gates of Hadeswill not prevail against it. 19I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.” 20Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. 21From that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up. 22Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This will never be done to you.”
