I don’t have that kind of a search engine for the Bible. Mine is focused on books and verses.

Then what are you doing inferring Peter’s name is mentioned in the Bible more than ALL the other 12 apostles, when your have already been refuted before in asserting, "Peter’s name in scripture? More than all the other apostles put together"?

And by my searching i found "Peter" mentioned by that name 162 times in all of the NT, sometimes together as "Simon Peter," and separately as "Cephas" 6 times, and separately as Simon 17 times at most, for a total of 185, but which includes duplicate accounts and sometimes in the same verse. In addition, a cursory count finds other apostles are mentioned by name about 80 times.

However, Paul is mentioned 163 as "Paul" and 26 times as "Saul" giving him a total of 189 times.

Moreover, he wrote 13 books of Scripture, nearly 50 percent of the New Testament, and mentions Peter after James in Gal. 2:9, and the latter gave the definitive final decree in Act 15, and Peter is not even heard of in Acts after Acts 12, nor in Paul's extensive list of acquaintances in Rm. 16, nor is submission to or prayers for Peter or mention of him as the supreme head in Rome ever seen in any of the church epistles.

Thus Peter not mentioned by his names more than all the other apostles put together, esp. when not counting duplicate accounts.

Moreover, using popular Catholic reasoning, here are the 51 Biblical proofs of a Pauline papacy and Ephesian primacy.

In addition, using your logic that the more one is mentioned then the higher the primacy, then since Mary the mother of Jesus is mentioned very few times then she must be very low on the VIP list.

Now will you continue to posting specious parroted RC polemics?

There are all kinds of resources and search engines for that for free on the web. You have no excuse.

It's a poor workman that blames his tools.

It took me about 15 seconds...
