No, the other Apostles were given the power to "bind and loose" - nowhere in the Bible that I am aware of were all the Apostles given the Keys. "Bind and loose" and the "keys" are two separate things in the Bible.

What are the keys?

What are the keys? They are copper things that open doors. I think the ones specifically mention in the NT are a set of 3 skeleton keys that open a secret compartment under the Chair of Peter were they keep all the really secret archives that disprove Catholism. :>)

Havoc, your post was all well and good but I think you need to look at the singular "thee" or "you" - douglas posted a slightly different version of the Bible - his does not have a ":" but has a "."

"Keys" in the Bible (OT and NT - all references) confer some sort of authority or stewardship on the holder.

Why didn't Jesus give all the disciples the keys?
