Authentication with p12 key to google

I have .p12 which is stored in a file key from my google bigquery database. Now what I need is just to execute some select from my terminal. When I run 

gcloud init --console-only

the next step is that it asks me authentication key. Why? I just want to use my .p12 key. How to authenticate with this key?

You can auth to gcloud with a p12 as you would expect:

gcloud auth activate-service-account [ACCOUNT] --key-file=KEY_FILE

Important:

The key file can be .json (preferred) or .p12 (legacy) format. For legacy .p12 files, a separate password might be required. This password is displayed in the console when you create the key.

You can find more info on https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/activate-service-account
