Matt. 16:19 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Matt. 16:18      Matt. 16:20

Matthew 16:19

I will give you the keys to [authority to shut and open] the kingdom of heaven (the kingdom of the heavens), whatever you bind (forbid to happen) on earth shall already be bound (forbidden to happen) in heaven. Whatever you loose (allow to happen) on earth shall already be loosed (allowed to happen) in heaven."
[In biblical imagery, keys signify mandate and authority. Loosening and binding were terms used by the scribes when deciding what was right and wrong in various situations. In Matt. 5:19, Jesus uses the same Greek word for loosing when he talks about abolishing a commandment. Jesus soon repeats the phrase "bind and loose" again when he teaches all twelve disciples, see Matt. 18:18. There, it is about the church leadership having the mandate to resolve conflicts in the church, see Matt. 18:17. Note the verb forms where everything you bind/loose should already be bound/loosed (perfect passive form) in heaven.]
