Jesus chose his apostles wisely. One of his apostles is Peter. Peter has many different qualities and reasons why he was chosen as pope. Peter also teaches lessons of what not and what to do.

I think Peter is truthful and obedient most of the time. In Matthew 17:24-27 Peter is being truthful to the tax collector by saying the truth about Jesus. He is also being obedient in my opinion because he is following God's orders to tell the truth. I think Peter is annoying because in Matthew 26:37 it said that Jesus became distressed when he took Peter with him. Another example of Peter being obedient is in Matthew 16:18. In this passage Jesus tells Peter to be the rock of the Church. Peter is being obedient and faithful because he fulfills that duty as we know by being the first pope.

I think Jesus chose Peter for most of the qualities i talked about. I think peter was one of the most devout apostles that Jesus had. Peter had many of the qualities a pope should have. A leader of men is what Peter was and that's what I think Jesus saw out of him. i think Jesus saw him as a trustworthy disciple too. Peter was a man of wisdom, a born to be pope.

Peter is looked up to as a an example to other popes. The other popes can learn what not and what to do. Like Peter made many mistakes in life like denying Jesus. Popes can learn from those mistakes. I think popes can learn more positive things from Peter. Peter always accepted Jesus, was truthful to Jesus, and many more things. Some popes don't take the lessons from Peter and take it the wrong way.

Peter was one of Jesus' most reliable disciples. He did many good things and many bad things. He had the perfect qualities and taught many good things to popes
