Context
15Akawauliza, “Je, ninyi mnasema mimi ni nani?” 16Simoni Petro akamjibu, “Wewe ndiwe Kristo,* Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai.” 17Naye Yesu akamwambia, “Heri wewe, Simoni Bar-Yona,* kwa maana hili halikufunuliwa kwako na mwanadamu, bali na Baba yangu aliye mbinguni. 18Nami nakuambia, wewe ndiwe Petro na juu ya mwamba huu nitalijenga kanisa langu, hata malango ya Kuzimu hayataweza kulishinda. 19Nitakupa funguo za Ufalme wa mbinguni, na lolote utakalolifunga duniani litakuwa limefungwa Mbinguni, nalo lolote utakalofungua duniani litakuwa limefunguliwa mbinguni.”
