Explanation:

The question asks for evidence that Jesus saw Peter as a leader. The first option states Jesus named Peter meaning "rock" because he was strong and reliable, which implies leadership. The second option says Jesus asked Peter to care for his followers after His death, directly indicating a leadership role. The other options (Peter's brother introducing him, Peter denying being a follower when scared) do not support the claim of Jesus seeing him as a leader.

Answer:

• Jesus picked the name Peter, which means "rock," because Peter was strong and reliable.
• Jesus asked Peter to care for his followers after Jesus's death.
