21ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his
disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They re-
plied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others eremiah
or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say
that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Christ, the Son
of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you,
Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to
you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the neth-
erworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the
kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in
Heaven." Then he strictly ordered his disciples to tell no one that
he was the Christ. MT 16: 13-20
XXI DOMINGO ORDINARIO
En aquel tiempo, cuando llegó Jesús a la región de Cesarea de
Filipo, hizo esta pregunta a sus discípulos: "¿Quién dice la gente
que es el Hijo del hombre?" Ellos le respondieron: "Unos dicen que
eres Juan, el Bautista; otros, que Elías; otros, que Jeremías o alguno
de los profetas". Luego les preguntó: "Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que
soy yo?" Simón Pedro tomó la palabra y le dijo: "Tú eres el Mesías,
el Hijo de Dios vivo". Jesús le dijo entonces: "¡Dichoso tú, Simón,
hijo de Juan, porque esto no te lo ha revelado ningún hombre, sino
mi Padre, que está en los cielos! Y yo te digo a ti que tú eres Pedro
y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia. Los poderes del infierno no
prevalecerán sobre ella. Yo te daré las llaves del Reino de los cielos;
todo lo que ates en la tierra, quedará atado en el cielo, y todo lo
que desates en la tierra, quedará desatado en el cielo". Y les or-
denó a sus discípulos que no dijeran a nadie que él era el Mesías.
