Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 16:17-19)

The Catholic Church believes the Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock.

With love in Christ.

That would be Peter (or Simon Peter Matthew 4:18).
But, according to the Bible, the apostle Peter was married, unlike the popes of the catholic church:
Matthew 8:14,15--"And Jesus, on coming into Peter's house, saw his mother-in-law lying down and sick with fever. So he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began ministering to him".
Mark 1:30,31--"Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying down sick with a fever, and they at once told him about her. And going to her he (Jesus) raised her up, taking her by the hand; and the fever left her, and she began ministering to them".

Perter
it means rock
it explains why he was the first because, as the rock, he is the foundation of the catholic church.
