18. And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
18. And as thou hast consest me to be Christ, I will say to thy comfort, that as thy name signifieth a Rock or Stone, So by thee (and thy brethren) I will build my Church on this Rock, against which all the powers of Hell, the Devils and wicked men shall not prevail.

Note, 1. It is a great controversy whether by [this Rock] be meant, 1. Christ himself, 2. Or the faith and confession of Christ, 3. Or Peter himself. But no doctrinal controversy dependeth on it: For all three are certain truths. 1. No doubt but primarily Christ is the Rock on which the Church is built. 2. And no doubt but Faith and Confession being the condition of our part in Christ, the Church is so far built thereon. 3. And no doubt but the Apostles are called Foundation stones on which the Church is built, and therefore Peter whose name importeth it, and was a chief speaker among them, as the foreman of a Jury. 2. Though the Powers of Hell may seem to prevail as they did over Christ while he was on the Cross, they are then next an overthrow themselves.
