To: Natural Law
READ CAREFULLY...Peter is talking to the elders, telling THEM to take the oversight thereof...”Feed the flock of God which is among YOU, taking the oversight thereof..” The elders are to exercise oversight, each of them, including Peter who says he is also an elder.

John 13:
[21] When Jesus had thus spoken, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me."
[22] The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.
[23] One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying close to the breast of Jesus;
[24] so Simon Peter beckoned to him and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."
[25] So lying thus, close to the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
[26] Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
John was lying in the place of honor>
Simon Peter found it necessary to relay his question through "the one he loved" (John)
Jesus answered to John.
Hmmmmmm. Was John the first "Pope"?
