**I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.**

Did Jesus trust Peter? Of course, Jesus told Peter to tend his sheep, feed his lambs, feed his sheep.

Is that in your Bible?

Did you sing old hymns in your church? That’s where those lines come from.

Because Jesus may have or may not have trusted Peter does not give Peter higher authority that the living Christ.

You are of course by free will, able to think otherwise.

.
That request had nothing whatsoever to do with trust.

Peter was diverging from Yeshua’s commands, and Yeshua was trying to drag him back on course.

Peter often lost his course, but later became a great preacher. There is hope therein for all of us.

Didn’t He also say to Peter “get thee behind me Satan”?

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
