"Show me the Pope in the Bible." Challenge accepted. And we brought 28 Protestant Bible Scholars and Commentators with us!

In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong respond to ex-Catholic "Bible Scholar" Patrick O'Brien's claim that Matthew 16 does not support the papacy.

As you'll see -- the strongest arguments aren't from Catholics. They're from Protestant scholars. Dozens of them! D.A. Carson. R.T. France. F.F. Bruce. 28 more. All agreeing that Peter — not his confession, not a cliff, not Jesus himself — is the rock in Matthew 16.

Kenny and Dave also unpack Isaiah 22 and the keys of the kingdom, showing why the Davidic chief steward perfectly explains Peter's role — and why every king, including the King of Kings, has one.
