THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
August 23, 2026
The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 16:13 - 20
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
ILOKO
13 Idi dimteng ni Jesus iti disso nga asideg iti ili ti Cesarea Filipos, sinaludsodna kadagiti adalanna, “Siasino ti Anak ti Tao iti panagkuna dagiti tattao?”
14 “Sika kano ni Juan a Mammuniag,” insungbatda. “Kuna met ti sumagmamano a sika ni Elias. Kuna pay dagiti dadduma a sika ni Jeremias wenno maysa kadagiti profeta.”
15 “Ket dakayo,” sinaludsod ni Jesus, “siasinoak iti panagkunayo?”
16 “Sika ti Cristo, ti Anak ti sibibiag a Dios,” insungbat ni Simon Pedro.
17 Kinuna ni Jesus, “Nagasatka, Simon nga anak ni Jonas. Saan a tao no di ket ni Amak sadi langit ti nangipaltiing kenka iti daytoy a kinapudno.
18 Ibagak ngarud kenka a sika ket Pedro. Iti rabaw daytoy a bato, bangonekto ti iglesiak ket uray ni patay dinto agballigi kenkuana.
19 Itedkonto kenka dagiti tulbek ti Pagarian ti Langit. Ti aniaman nga iparitmo ditoy daga, maiparitto met sadi langit. Ket ti aniaman nga ipalubosmo ditoy daga, maipalubosto met sadi langit.”
20 Kalpasanna, imbilin ni Jesus kadagiti adalanna nga awan ti pangibagbagaanda nga isu ti Cristo.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
PRAISE TO YOU, O CHRIST!
