AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 16:18 "And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. [Eph 1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Col 1:18] |
Bible Question (short): Greek, Peter, Rock? |
Question (full): 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. |
