In Matthew 16 Jesus is talking to all of the Apostles.

Joh 1:42 He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter, which is Rock).

“Peter, upon whom is built the Church of Christ, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, left only one epistle of acknowledged genuinity. Let us concede also a second, which however is doubtful.” Origen, Commentaries on John 5,3

“[T]he blessed Peter, the chosen, the preeminent, the first among the disciples, for whom alone with himself the Savior paid the tribute [Matt. 17:27], quickly grasped and understood their meaning. And what does he say? ‘Behold, we have left all and have followed you’ [Matt. 19:27; Mark 10:28]” Clement of Alexandria, Who Is the Rich Man That Is Saved? 21:3–5

“For what purpose did He shed His blood? It was that He might win these sheep which he entrusted to Peter and his successors.” (St. John of Chysostom, De Sacerdotio, 53
