Could you provide the scriptural references for Jesus teaching the principle or gift of Apostolic succession ?

The apostolic succession is clear from references to imposition of hands in both Timothys and Titus, and the instruction to them to ordain priests.

where God ordained a new testament priesthood?

At the Last Supper when He gave the Apostles the bread which became His body, and then told them to do likewise.

infallible papacy or even an infallible teaching by the church ?

In Luke 22 Christ promises St. Peter that He will pray for Peter so that while others are sifted as wheat, he, St. Peter will not fail and convert his brethren. The infallibility of the Chruch is clear from its mandate to "bind and loose" given twice in Matthew 16 and 18. Also see the verse where Christ is said to cleanse His bride the Church of every blemish (Eph 5).

References to the necessity of baptism for salvation are in John 3 and Mark 16, necessity of the Eucharist for salvation in John 6. Spouses santifying each other is in 1 Corinthians 7.

There is an episode in Acts 8 where the converts are already baptized, but the Apostles lay their hands on them so that they receive the holy Ghost. That is the confirmation.

Annointing of the sick is in James 5.

The Holy Orders is the imposition of hands in both Timothys and Titus.

Confession is in John 20.

Sorry, I did not look up verses or I will be forever educating you in the scripture that you supposedly have such great respect for.
