Jesus Christ appointed Peter as the first leader of his Church when He said:
And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona:
because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is
in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I
will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever
thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
(Matthew Chapt. 16)
Peter is considered the first pope even though the term 'pope' did not
come into common usage until much later.
The term "pope" is not explicitly mentioned in Scripture. However, the concept of a leader or overseer of the church is mentioned, such as in Matthew 16:18-19 where Jesus tells Peter he will be the rock upon which he will build his church. The role of the pope as the successor of Peter is a later development in the church's history.
