Original text and translations

Latin text Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? Respóndens Petrus dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Deus vivi. Et ait Jesus: Beátus es, Simon Petre, quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui es in cælis. Et ego dico tibi: Quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam. Allelúia. Petre, díligis me? Qui respóndit: Tu scis, Dómine, quia amo te, et ánimam meam pono pro te. Et ait Jesus: Pasce oves meas. Ego enim pro te rogávi, ut non defíciat fides tua, et tu aliquándo convérsus confírma fratres tuos. Allelúia.

English translation Whom do men say that the Son of Man is? Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus said: Blessed art thou, Simon Peter, because flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven. And I say to thee: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church. Alleluia. Peter, lovest thou me? He answered: Thou knowest, Lord, that I love thee, and lay down my life for thee. And Jesus said: Feed my sheep. For I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. Alleluia.
