and if Jesus asked him to feed his sheep (Jesus's Jewish followers) then why is he the first Pope since Paul founded the church in Rome shouldn't he be the first Pope?

The Bible NEVER says that Peter OR Paul was any kind of Pope.
In FACT there was NO pope until after the birth of the Roman Catholic church in 325 A.D.
Read the Bible for yourself.

The Catholic Church was not started until 305/6 A.D. There were no popes before then. They are made up.
After it did popes came along a female got all the way to pope too. They did not realize this until she became pregnant. Then they killed her.
Read history books; just not ones written by the Catholic church.

I think James was more influential amongst Jewish Christians than Peter, and Peter and Paul were in a lifelong conflict over who was more important among the Gentiles. Indeed Paul won, and as a compensation Catholics pretend that Peter won.

Peter was also instructed not to call unclean that which God has made clean. Peter was the head of the church. Paul was simply a great evangelist. Different mission entirely.
