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"?

Acts 16:1-16. This is a list of greetings from Paul to the saints in Rome.

Note: Peter is NOT mentioned. Not once. According to the papal catalogue of bishops of Rome, Peter was in Rome at this time. Since he is NOT once mentioned by Paul, seems like Peter was not there. IF Peter had been at Rome as the bishop, he would have been the FIRST one Paul would have referred to. Don't you think? Hmmmm....

Once again, this seems to make the very foundation of apostolic succession by the Roman bishops fall...to..the..ground...

Maybe there is a good reason that someone can fill me in on, but there may be a chance, or maybe even likely that Peter was never in the city of Rome in all his life..
