The disciples give various answers. When he asks, "Who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter answers, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
In turn, Jesus declares Peter to be "blessed" for having recognized Jesus' true identity and attributes this recognition to a divine revelation. Then Jesus addresses Simon by what seems to have been the nickname "Peter" (Cephas in Aramaic, Petros [rock] in Greek) and says,
"On this rock (also cephas in Aramaic, petra in Greek) I will build my church,
which will overcome all the evil forces arrayed against it."
the first pope recognized Jesus as the messiah,the son of the living God... and Jesus in turn entrusted His church to him and his future successors... though not all of them are good (c'mon let's admit it, not all Popes were worthy for the position because of power and politics in Rome before), i still trust that Jesus knew what He's doing when he gave Peter the right to build His church... whatever negative things that these Pope or even the current Pope has made, it is because they are still human... "in their human nature they can err"...
