Matthew 16:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever doors you lock on earth shall be locked in heaven; and whatever doors you open on earth shall be open in heaven!”

²⁰ Then he warned the disciples against telling others that he was the Messiah.

²¹ From then on Jesus began to speak plainly to his disciples about going to Jerusalem, and what would happen to him there—that he would suffer at the hands of the Jewish leaders,^[a] that he would be killed, and that three days later he would be raised to life again.
