| We see in '''V4''' a reference to a "wicked<Ref name="poneros">{{4190}} </Ref> and adulterous generation". In [[Matthew_12]]:39 also saw a reference to "An [[evil]]<Ref name="poneros">{{4190}} </Ref> and [[adultery|adulterous]]<Ref name="adultery">{{4190}} </Ref> generation". Both the word [[wicked]] and the ''evil'' are translated from the same Greek word "poneros"<Ref name="poneros">{{4190}} </Ref> which is found throughout the New Testament and associated in [[Revelation 16]]:2 with the [[Mark of the Beast]] and therefor the [[Harlot]] or [[Whore]] who rides the beast.

== The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs ==

[1] The [[Pharisees]] also with the [[Sadducees]] came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

[2] He answered and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.'''</span>

[3] <span style="color:red">'''And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye [[hypocrite]]s, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?'''</span>

[4] <span style="color:red">'''A wicked and [[adultery|adulterous generation]] seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.'''</span>

== The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees ==

[5] And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

[6] Then Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Take heed and beware of the [[leaven]]<Ref name="leavenp">{{leavenp}}</Ref> of the [[Pharisees]] and of the [[Sadducees]].'''</span>

[7] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

[8] Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''O ye of little [[faith]]<Ref name="littlef">{{littlef}}</Ref>, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?'''</span>

[9] <span style="color:red">'''Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?'''</span>

[10] <span style="color:red">'''Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?'''</span>

[11] <span style="color:red">'''How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the '''[[leaven]]'''<Ref name="leavenp">{{leavenp}}</Ref> of the [[Pharisees]] and of the [[Sadducees]]?'''</span>

[12] Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the '''[[leaven]]''' of bread, but of the doctrine<Ref name="leavenp">{{leavenp}}</Ref> of the [[Pharisees]] and of the [[Sadducees]].<Ref name="cryanguish">{{cryanguish}}</Ref>

== Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ ==

[13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, <span style="color:red">'''Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?'''</span>

[14] And they said, Some say that thou art [[John the Baptist]]: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

[15] He saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''But whom say ye that I am?

[16] And Simon Peter answered and said, '''Thou art the Christ, the [[Son of God|Son of the living God]]'''.

[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, <span style="color:red">'''Blessed<Ref name="makarios">{{3107}}</Ref> art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.'''</span>

[18]  <span style="color:red">'''And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter<Ref name="petros">{{4074}}</Ref>, and upon this rock<Ref name="petra">{{4073}}</Ref> I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'''</span>

=== The keys  ===

[19] <span style="color:red">'''And I will give unto thee the keys of the [[kingdom of heaven]]: and whatsoever thou shalt bind (deo)<Ref name="deo">{{1210}}</Ref> on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose (luo)<Ref name="luo">{{3089}}</Ref> on earth shall be loosed in heaven.'''</span><Ref>Matthew 18:18 <span style="color:red">''' Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall [[1210|bind (deo)]] on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall [[3089|loose (luo)]] " on earth shall be loosed in heaven.'''</span></Ref>

[20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was [[Jesus]] the [[Christ]].

== Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection ==

[21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his [[disciples]], how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief [[priests]] and [[scribes]], and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

[22] Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, <span style="color:red">'''Get thee behind me, [[Satan]]: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.'''</span>

== Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus ==

[24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, <span style="color:red">'''If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.'''</span>

[25] <span style="color:red">'''For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.'''</span>

[26]  <span style="color:red">'''For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'''</span>

[27] <span style="color:red">'''For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.'''<Ref name="accworks">{{accworks}}</Ref></span>

[28] <span style="color:red">'''Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.'''</span>

== The keys of V17 - V19 ==

These three verses have been extremely important to some Churches that want to believe that Christ was appointing Peter to be the head of the Church.

'''Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges''' points out that the ''revelation'' Peter confesses is not known to Peter by "flesh and blood". That knowing was revealed to Simon but not through "man, but God." The phrase “[[flesh and blood]]” was a common Hebrew expression denoting a contrast between the spiritual and the physical.

=== The Rocks ===

<blockquote>
"(18) Thou art Peter, and upon this rock . . .—It is not easy, in dealing with a text which for many centuries has been the subject-matter of endless controversies, to clear our minds of those “afterthoughts of theology” which have gathered round it, and, in part at least, overlaid its meaning." Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
</blockquote>

Elliott goes on to ask "What is the rock? Peter’s faith (subjective)? or the truth (objective) which he confessed?" 

But the ''rock'' may just as well be the ''revelation'' (apekalypsen)<Ref name="apekalypsen">{{601}}</Ref> which was given Simon as the truth by the [[Father]] of [[Jesus]] which has been delivered by the way of the spirit, and not “[[flesh and blood]]”. 

Simon did not figure this out by eating of the [[tree of knowledge]] but received it from the [[tree of life]]. 

Eliot writes of the "poetry of the Old Testament" which associated ''the Rock'' with the power of God, not a man ([[Deuteronomy 32]]:4; [[Deuteronomy 32]]:18; [[2 Samuel 22]]:3; [[2 Samuel 23]]:3; [[Psalms 18]]:2; [[Psalms 18]]:31; [[Psalms 18]]:46; [[Isaiah 17]]:10; [[Habakkuk 1]]:12).

Christ is called a ''rock'',  [[Matthew 21]]:42  "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
: [[Psalms 118]]:22  The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
: [[Isaiah 28]]:16 "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."

We see this metaphor of a ''stone'' or ''corner stone'' repeated in:
: [[Mark 12]]:10  And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
: [[Luke 20]]:17  And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
: Acts 4:11  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
: Ephesians 2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [''stone''];

Peter was certainly not the rock of [[faith]] up to that point. By verse 23 Jesus even tells Peter, <span style="color:red">'''"Get thee behind me, [[Satan]]: thou art an offence unto me:"'''</span>

Peter was often impatient and judgmental, quick to anger and violence and also fear, denouncing Christ. In that moment he answered the question Jesus repeated when no one else did. And he did not answer from his own [[flesh and blood]] but from the divine '''revelation''' of God the [[Father]].<Ref name="apekalypsen">{{601}}</Ref> 

It is the [[Holy Spirit]] that is the head of the Church established by Christ.

=== Lively stones ===

Peter gives his "Ye also, ''are'' [[Lively Stones of a Living Altar|lively stones]]" speech:
: ‭[[1 Peter 2]]:4 "‭To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,‭ 5 Ye also, as [[Lively Stones of a Living Altar|lively stones]], are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."

And even refers to the stone or rock as Christ which enters the [[heart and mind]] of a "holy priesthood" through the revelation of the [[Holy Spirit]] of those "which believe":
: [[1 Peter 2]]:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8. "And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."

Those "which believe" and may be called [[believer]]s will be found as [[doers of the Word]] according to the [[Doctrine of Jesus]].

If we are to believe that the ''rock'' of revelation from the [[Holy Spirit]] of God is the '''rock''' upon which Christ will build His Church then Jesus was not appointing His Church to a succession of men but to those who are happy to allow God to write upon their [[heart and mind]]<Ref name="writeq">{{writeq}}</Ref> and follow that divine guidance.

=== Blessed ===

[[Christ]] was already stating he would "[[appoint]]" the kingdom to the [[apostles]] as His "[[little flock]]" in accordance to his plan to take the kingdom<Ref name="ktaken">{{ktaken}}</Ref> from the [[Pharisees]] because their [[Corban]] was bringing the people back into the [[bondage of Egypt]].

The word "blessed" was not the word for ''appoint or consecrate'' but the word for ''happy''.<Ref name="makarios">{{3107}}</Ref>

Happiness, like [[faith]], is gift from the divine [[Father]] in Heaven<Ref name="fatherruler">{{fatherruler}}</Ref> which each of us may pursue as individuals according to the [[perfect law of liberty]].

=== The Person ===

Was Christ saying that Simon was blessed with an ''office of leadership'' so that we should become a respecter of Peter<Ref name="respectq">{{respectq}}</Ref> as the head of the Church?
We were never meant to be a '''respecter of persons'''<Ref name="respectq">{{respectq}}</Ref> either the rich nor poor. We were not to make men rulers over our [[choice]]s<Ref name="archy">{{Archy}}</Ref> like the rulers of the gentiles, or [[Nimrod]] or king of the [[world]]. God allows us to go under their authority like Israel did with King [[Saul]] but  God through [[1 Samuel 8|Samuel warned us]] what would happen.

It has never been the way of God that you go under men who [[exercise authority]] one over the other.<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>

=== The Keys ===

[[Matthew 16]]:19 <span style="color:red">'''And I will give unto thee the keys<Ref name="kleis">{{2807}}</Ref>  of the [[kingdom of heaven]]: and whatsoever thou shalt bind<Ref name="deo">{{1210}}</Ref> on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose<Ref name="luo">{{3089}}</Ref>  on earth shall be loosed in heaven.'''</span>

The [[Keys of the Kingdom|Keys to the Kingdom]] are '''what you [[the bands|bind]] and loose upon the earth''' with the people around you also binds you accordingly in your spirit. 

If you embrace the darkness and deny the [[truth]] you shall be consumed by darkness and live in that darkness. 

If you [[bite]] one another you will be consumed one of another.<Ref>[[Galatians 5]]:15  But if ye [[bite]] and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.</Ref> 

If you [[covet]] what is your neighbors you shall become [[merchandise]] and [[curse children]]. 

If we will not hear your brother's [[cry out]] in anguish, God will not [[hear]] you when you [[cry out]].

If you [[forgive]] not neither will you be forgiven.

As you judge so shall you be judged.

These are the [[Keys of the Kingdom]]!

=== Who has the keys ===

We see a similar statement in [[Matthew 18]]:18  
: <span style="color:red">''' "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind<Ref name="deo">{{1210}}</Ref> on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose<Ref name="luo">{{3089}}</Ref> on earth shall be loosed in heaven."'''</span>

Here Jesus is not giving authority to anyone, nor setting up a [[hierarchy]] of that authority from the top down, nor creating an office of authority, nor is their mention of keys to the pearly gates. We were not to [[exercise authority]] one over the other by Jesus decree.<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref> The [[hierarchy]] of the Church is not one of authority but of service.<Ref name="serveth">{{serveth}}</Ref> Nor were we to be the [[respecter of persons]] whether they be the wealthy, the poor nor the offices of institutions.<Ref name="respectq">{{respectq}}</Ref> 

He makes His position clear in [[Matthew 18]]:19:

:  <span style="color:red">'''"Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my [[Father]] which is in heaven. 20  For where two or three are gathered together in my [[name]], there am I in the midst of them."'''</span>

If verse 18 in [[Matthew 18]] is the same as we see in [[Matthew 16]] verse 19 it is clear that the keys are not given to Peter alone but to those who have the ears to hear. To recieve the power and authority we see in the [[early Church]] we must [[tens|gather]] in the [[name|character and name]] of Christ and for His purpose as they did. 

=== Hiding the keys in hypocrisy ===


Who are those who have [[Christ]], the [[Holy Spirit]], in their midst today with the "[[Sound Doctrine]]" as given us in the [[Doctrine of Jesus]]?

Who has allowed the [[masses]] to return to the [[bondage of Egypt]]?

Who has sanctioned, excused, and even promoted the modern [[Corban]] which ''makes the word of God to none effect'' which has always been the [[covetous practices]] that while claiming to be for their [[welfare]] was a [[snare|snare and a trap]]?

Has not those [[covetous practices]] through governments who [[exercise authority]] always made men [[merchandise]] and [[curse children|cursed children]] with the [[bondage of Egypt]] as a [[surety]] for [[debt]]?

Who has neglected the [[daily ministration]] of the [[early Church]] that once functioned by [[Pure Religion]] through [[Fervent charity]]?

Who has distracted the people with [[false religion]], crowned kings which oppressed the people while protecting there own [[apostasy]] and turned the [[heart and mind]] of the people away [[The Way]] of [[Truth]] toward the [[public religion]] of the [[Mark of the Beast|Beast]] which has [[snare]]d and [[Social Security|numbered]] the [[masses]]?

Who is the [[harlot]] that rides upon the back of the [[Mark of the Beast|Beast]] which she raised up through hypocrisy since the days of [[Lady Godiva]]?
