Matthew 16:19
The time of the gift looks to the resurrection, when he said, “Receive the Holy Spirit; if you forgive the sins of any, they have been forgiven; if you retain those of any, they have been retained.” (John 20:22–23) But the gift of the faith given fits all; that is why we understand the faith as common to all the apostles, and not Peter’s alone (Matthew 16:19).
Greek
Ὁ τοῦ δώρου καιρὸς εἰς τὸν ἀναστάσεως ὁρῶν καθ' ὃν εἶπεν· "λάβετε πνεῦμα ἅγιον· ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας, ἀφέωνται· ἄν τινων κρατῆτε, κεκράτηνται". ἡ δὲ δωρεὰ τῆς πίστεως ἡ δοθεῖσα ἅπασιν ἁρμό ζει· διὸ κοινὴν πάντων νοοῦμεν τῶν ἀποστόλων τὴν πίστιν καὶ οὐ μόνου τοῦ Πέτρου.
