A Unified Authority
Commentators emphasize that Peter places the Old Testament prophets and the New Testament apostles on the same level of authority. Their messages are not separate but form one unified testimony about God's plan, culminating in the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This provides believers with a solid and consistent foundation for their faith.
