Deep dives
Authority of Peter
Contrary to the challenge that Peter did not have any special authority, the text and context indicate otherwise. While Jesus did give the power of binding and loosing to others, he also singled out Peter by giving him the name Peter or Rock, declaring him to be the rock on which he would build his church and giving him the keys of the kingdom of heaven. This unique leadership role assigned to Peter sets him apart from others.
