But Jesus affirmed that what Peter said was from the Father. At best you are saying that Jesus misled them by not responding to what was said, as it was intended

Jesus did not mislead anyone. The idea that the anointed one was divine was alien even to the Apostles. It is clear from the Gospels that they did not fully and consistently belive Him, and did not become full converts until after the Pentecost.

FK: "But Jesus affirmed that what Peter said was from the Father. At best you are saying that Jesus misled them by not responding to what was said, as it was intended."

Under your scenario He sure DID mislead. You have Jesus condoning the false beliefs of the Apostles, if everything you say is right. Jesus said words that were literally true, yet you say that the Apostles gravely misunderstood Him. Obviously Jesus would have known that, and yet Jesus did NOTHING to correct this grievous error (that HE furthered by assenting to it). I don't see how that is possible, but it certainly IS misleading.
