(Matthew 28:18) Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.
Who gave Jesus his authority?
(Daniel 7:13, 14) “I kept watching in the visions of the night, and look! with the clouds of the heavens, someone like a son of man was coming; and he gained access to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him up close before that One. 14 And to him there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples, nations, and language groups should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed.
(Jesus is called "son of man" over 80 times in the Chrisitan Greek Scriptures.)
(John 16:27, 28) For the Father himself has affection for you, because you have had affection for me and have believed that I came as God’s representative. 28 I came as the Father’s representative and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”
Clearly, Jesus is Jehovah God's agent in restoring mankind to our proper perfect state. That is why Jesus is called the Word!
As Peter stated, (Matthew 16:15, 16) He said to them: “You, though, who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
The apostle Peter did not say Jesus was God. He said "the Son of God".
Do we know more than the apostle Peter who was with Jesus?
