Now this was Jesus talking, so this rock was referring to something else.

Picture if you will, the Master pointing to Peter as He said, "You are Peter [a little rock]." Then, as He said "And on this rock I will build My church," He pointed to Himself. Some have even suggested He might have meant the entire group, Himself and the Apostles as the foundation of the church.

How do you know He pointed to Himself? And if He was talking directly to Peter, so if Jesus was referring to the entire group, he would have said so.
