Nowhere in these writings did John mention that the congregation in Rome was the most prominent one, nor did he refer to a leader of the church who held the supreme office of an alleged successor of Peter.
Üheski neist ei maininud Johannes, et Rooma kogudus oleks kõige tähtsam, samuti ei viidanud ta ühelegi kirikujuhile, kellel oleks Peetruse järglasena kõrgeim ametikoht.
