Jesus spoke to Peter in Matthew 16:
On the day of Pentecost, after the appearance of the tongues of fire, Acts 2:
Later, the Sanhedrin seized Peter and John, Acts 4:
Jesus was being gracious in this metaphor of comparing Peter with the rock of the church.18 I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
On the day of Pentecost, after the appearance of the tongues of fire, Acts 2:
It was Peter who proclaimed the gospel in this first big Christian meeting.14 Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say."
Later, the Sanhedrin seized Peter and John, Acts 4:
Peter recognized that Jesus was the stone and cornerstone.8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people! 9If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed, 10then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11This Jesus is
‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.
12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
