In Matthew we read Jesus asking Peter who he thinks (Jesus) was? So Peter replied the Messiah and Jesus responded by saying the father had revealed it to him (Peter)
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.… (Matthew 16:15-17)

when we read this same episode in John, we find that Andrew told Peter the Messiah has Been found. Which tells us Peter knew from Andrew that Jesus was the Messiah
The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). (John 1:41)
Just for the record Peters original name was Simon till Jesus changed it)
And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter). (John 1:42)
Why would Jesus say god revealed it to Peter when Andrew was the first to tell him Jesus was the Messiah? Seems like Andrew was the father who revealed to Peter, Jesus was the Messiah. Ams that according to the words of Jesus, unless u reject the both accounts!
Theses blunders and problems are becoming a joke...
