So are you saying that the other 9 disciples were not under the authority of Peter?
Where in the world do you get the idea that the rest of the disciples were "under the authority of Peter"? The fact that Peter was cowed into changing his behavior in a hypocritical manner by folks coming to visit from Jerusalem and was chastised for it by Paul demonstrates that he was not, at that time, the head of everyone up in Jerusalem, unless he was a really weak leader.

Oh, I just thought he was the first pope. That upon this rock of Peter would the Church be built, etc. etc. Seems that would make him the authoritie.
