1 | Greek, Peter, Rock? | Matt 16:18 | Norrie | 106155 | ||
A friend asked this question and I have no idea, I figured someone here would know. What is it in Biblical Greek, the words used for "Peter" and "rock"? I'll bet they are quite similar, if not the same word. This is a discussion about Peter being the rock on which Jesus built His Church. I say the rock is the revelation of Jesus as Lord, not that He is establishing a head for the church, Jesus is the Head. | ||||||

Norrie, In the original Aramaic, Cephas or Kephas has no difference in ending or meaning. Only when translated to the Greek do the endings change. Paul refers to Cephas or Kephas, which makes it dificcult to hold to the petro / petra argument. In the Greek a man's name has to have a masculine ending even if the root word ending like petra is feminine. Emmaus |
