 23 5, 0,28|              as successor of Apostle Peter), over the whole Christian
 24 5, 0,28|       Certainly not! If the Lord had Peter in mind as a personality,
 25 5, 0,28|        something like this: “You are Peter, and I shall build My Church
 26 5, 0,28|          that the Lord in addressing Peter, promises to establish His

 31 5, 0,28|      spiritual dwelling. Apparently, Peter is teaching the faithful

 49 5, 0,31|             failed to do so. Just as Peter, having commenced walking
 50 5, 0,32|             on Him, He shows Apostle Peter where and how to obtain

 58 5, 0,78|            from the mouth of Apostle Peter. He states that the Lord

 60 6, 4,2 |           supremacy of Saint Apostle Peter above all the other Apostles,

 63 6, 4,2 |              for his Divine Teacher, Peter offers to “wash not my feet
 64 6, 4,2 |            frequent feature in Simon Peter,” says Bishop Michael, “
 65 6, 4,2 |             tears.” In His answer to Peter, the Lord points out the
 66 6, 4,3 |             advantage of this, Saint Peter made a sign to Saint John
 67 6, 4,3 |            betrayer. This shows that Peter wasn’t that close to the
 68 6, 4,3 |    Roman-catholic false teachings on Peter’s primacy. Mustering an
 69 6, 4,5 |         Roman-Catholics that Apostle Peter was the head of all the
 70 6, 4,5 |           the argument by confirming Peter as the superior one among

 79 6, 4,6 |           Lord especially prayed for Peter because being more passionate

 82 6, 4,6 |       dungeon and death. Then how is Peter’s denial possible, if the
 83 6, 4,6 |         would not diminish? However, Peter’s faith didn’t diminish:

 86 6, 4,6 |        before the advent of morning, Peter would thrice deny his Teacher

 94 6, 5   |              the doorkeeper to admit Peter. According to Saint John,
 95 6, 5   |              Annas, it was here that Peter’s first denial took place
