First of all, I should note that the Roman Catholic Church does not need any Bible verses for any doctrines. She can declare them as valid doctrines by virtue of tradition. Meanwhile:
18 I also tell you that you are Peter,[a] and on this rock[b] I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades[c] will not prevail against it.
19 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
--Matthew 16:18-19
Notice the two footnotes:
[a]Matthew 16:18 Peter’s name, Petros in Greek, is the word for a specific rock or stone.
[b]Matthew 16:18 Greek, petra, a rock mass or bedrock.
31 The Lord said, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat, 32 but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn’t fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.”
--Luke 22:31-32
In John 15:21 Jesus tells Peter to feed my sheep and lambs.
