The keys of the Kingdom of heaven. This is part of the thought in Matthew 16:18. Keys are used to open doors. Peter formally opened the doors to the church: (1) to the Jews, on Pentecost (Acts 2); (2) to the Gentiles just seven years later (Acts 10). All that is said here to Peter is said to all the other apostles as well (John 20:19-23). What you prohibit on earth. God's terms. See note on Matthew 18:18.
