And Christ gave his authority to the apostles, the first Bishops. Where in the Scripture you posted, does Christ give His authority to anyone? He gave them a charge and promised to be with them to the end of the age.

You mean, aside from Jesus giving the Twelve authority over unclean spirits (cf. Matthew 10:1, etc.), authority to forgive sins (cf. John 20:23, etc.), authority to bind in Heaven and on earth (cf. Matthew 18:18-20, etc.), and such? Only willful blindness (or complete ignorance of what the Scriptures actually say) could lead anyone to think that Jesus did NOT delegate His authority to specific men.

Prove from the Bible alone where Jesus gives that authority to the apostles, please.
