7. Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not
revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
8. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates
of Hades shall not prevail against it.
9. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
10. and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven.””

say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to
there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out
except by prayer and fasting.””

Your disciples do not fast?”

“Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony
were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin
of his face shone while he talked with Him. So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.” Exodus 34:29-
