Christ addressed Peter alone. The three words "you" in this passage are all singular.

Oh?

A GROUP cannot be addressed as singular?

If Pete got this 'honor' from Christ; where is the expected uproar from the others who got left out?

There wasn't ANY of them so 'holy' that they'd accept this without murmuring!

Sure a group can be addressed as a singular, but that is not what happened here. Read the preceding verse: Christ is specifically speaking to Peter. And the following verse: He refers to the group as plural.

You seem to be very angry. Why?
