Latin text
Tu es Petrus
et super hanc petram ædificabo Ecclesiam meam:
et portæ inferi non prævalebunt adversus eam.
Et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum.
Quodcumque ligaveris super terram,
erit ligatum et in cælis,
et quodcumque solveris super terram,
erit solutum et in cælis.
Et tibi dabo claves regni cælorum.
English translation
Thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I shall build my Church,
and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it,
and I shall give to thee the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.
Whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth shall be bound in heaven,
and whatsoever thou releaseth upon earth shall be released in heaven,
and I shall give to thee the keys to the kingdom of Heaven.
