THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST MATTHEW
CHAPTER 16
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this

c
hell
shall not
d
prevail
against it.
Footnotes

a
Here is a subtle word, play upon ‘Peter’ (Greek petros = small rock) and ‘rock’ (Greek petra = bedrock). Christ is the Stone of Israel.
John 1: 42
.
42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called
a
Cephas
, which is by interpretation, A stone.
1 Cor. 3: 11 (9-11)
.
11 For other
a
foundation
can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Cor.
10: 4
.
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that
a
Rock
was Christ.
D&C 50: 44
.
44 Wherefore, I am in your midst, and I am the
a
good
b
shepherd
, and the
c
stone
of Israel. He that buildeth upon this
d
rock
shall never
e
fall
.
D&C
128: 10
.
10 And again, for the precedent,
Matthew 16:18, 19
:
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
a
rock
I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

D&C 17: 8
.
8 And if you do these last
a
commandments
of mine, which I have given you, the
b
gates
of hell shall not prevail against you; for my
c
grace
is sufficient for you, and you shall be
d
lifted
up at the last day.
D&C
21: 6

6 For by doing these things the
a
gates
of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of
b
darkness
from before you, and cause the heavens to
c
shake
for your
d
good
, and his name’s
e
glory
