Is Jesus the Rock… or is Peter? During conclave week—while the world watches the Church prepare to choose a new pope—we’re diving into one of the most debated verses in the Bible: Matthew 16:18. In this episode of Catholic Bible Highlights, Kenny Burchard dismantles the common Protestant claim that “Jesus is the rock, not Peter,” by showing from Scripture that it’s never either/or with God—it’s both/and. With more than a dozen full-text Bible verses (RSV-2CE), you’ll see how God shares His own attributes—rock, foundation, shepherd, teacher, healer—with His people, and how Peter’s “rock-ness” is a participation in Jesus’ own. From Psalm 18:31 to 1 Corinthians 10:4, Isaiah 51, Ephesians 2, and 2 Peter 1:4, this video shows why the Bible fully supports the Catholic view: Jesus is the Rock—and Peter is the Rock because of Jesus. If you’ve ever wrestled with papal authority, Peter’s role, or how God works through His Church, this is your episode. Perfect for Catholic apologists, curious Protestants, and anyone following the conclave.
