1 | Follow up Peter first Pope | Bible general Archive 1 | Brian.g | 12950 | ||
I don't know when the title 'Pope' was first used, or if it was used by Peter. However, I believe the following passages does reinforce Jesus selection of Peter as the leader of His Church Mark 16:5 Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. Mark 16:6 And he *said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:7 "But go, tell His disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.'" Peter was singled out to reaffirm his position as the leader of the disciples ...... Luke 24:34 saying, "The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon." First, Jesus appeared to Peter, then the other disciples ...... John 21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. John 21:15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, "Tend My lambs." John 21:16 He *said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He *said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He *said to him, "Shepherd My sheep." John 21:17 He *said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus *said to him, "Tend My sheep. |

Have you considered Jesus said "tell His disciples and Peter" because Peter had just betrayed Him and Jesus wanted Peter to know he was forgiven? Same w/John 21:14-15. Jesus asked do you love Me the same number of times Peter betrayed Him-hmmmmmmm! | ||||||

Yes, I have considered it. But, with Jesus making Himself known to Peter before anyone else after the Resurrection, indicates to me that this is not just an act of forgiveness, it is a final act of Jesus solidifying that His work will continue before He, Jesus, continues to heaven and that the leadership role of Jesus is entrusted to Peter. And, Jesus is getting a final commitment and reassurance from Peter, that Jesus' work will continue. |

Brian.g: Thank you for sharing with us what your church believes. I have found your postings very informative. Nothing I write here is intended as criticism of you in any way. I merely point out the following: You write: "with Jesus making Himself known to Peter before anyone else after the Resurrection..." In fact, according to the Scriptures: The order of the post-resurrection appearances seems to be: (1) to Mary Magdalene; (2) to the women returning from the tomb with the angelic message; and (3) to Peter(Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5). Grace to you, --JVH0212 |

I checked all 4 gospels, seems like Mary M and other Mary were the first in Matt, Mark, Luke and John, does this mean she should have been the first pope? :) John also mentions he was w/Peter too, then there were the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus... | ||||||
