Scripture indicates that James was the ‘leader’ of the band of believers in Jerusalem. Paul tells us that Peter was the Apostle to the Jews and he, Paul, was the Apostle to the gentiles.
Well, as usual, Elsie beat me to it! He types and reads a lot faster than me, obviously. Must be that goat cheese and goat’s milk.
Yes, I think that is correct. But there is nothing to indicate Peter was “Pope” to the other Apostles. They each had their roles and were all led by the Holy Spirit and were therefore working in unison. Nobody clamored to be “top dog” or wore silken robes, sat on a throne or wore an ostentatious hat. They went about doing the Lords work.
