Some people, primarily the head of the Roman catholic, and his following, wholeheartedly stand behind the view that Jesus' words here, are referencing Peter as the rock on which the Christian congregation is built.
However, is there any truth to that claim? Might those with such a view be relying too much on their interpretation - something the scriptures do not encourage, rather than allowing the one whom interpretations belong, to interpret Jesus' words? Genesis 40:8 ; Daniel 2:26-28 ; 2 Peter 1:20, 21
Evidently, that is the case, since the scriptures gave the interpretation, contrary to their view, thus revealing one thing - namely, God has not revealed it to them. Matthew 16:17
