I don't believe any church that we now know was around at the time of Christ. I think he meant that Peter was suppose to spread the gospel. Jesus was not refering to a specific denomination.

I think he meant that Peter was suppose to spread the gospelThat is your interpretation, and I respect that, but the fact remains that for 2,000 years, the first Christian Church, called the Catholic Church, believed then and still believes that Jesus Christ gave the authority on earth for St. Peter to head His church after he died and was resurrected, and left the Holy Spirit to guide the Church.
God bless.

Nope. He meant Martin Luther just like Gophac said.

THere was only one denomination, the Universal Church a/k/a Catholic. Martin Luther, and to a lesser extent, the Orthodox, decided to screw it all up.
