Cephas (Κηφας)
John 1:42
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, you shall be called Cephas", which is translated 'Peter'. (New International Version)
1 Corinthians 1:12
But I say that each of you says "I am of Paul", or "I am of Apollos", or "I am of Cephas", or "I am of Christ".
Galatians 1:18 NRSV
Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him for fifteen days;
In these passages, 'Cephas' is given as the nickname of the apostle better known as Simon Peter. The Greek word is transliterated Κηφᾶς (Kēphâs).
The apostle's given name appears to be Simon, and he is given the Aramaic nickname, kêfâ, meaning 'rock'.
therefore, there is no doubt that peter is "rock" because in aramaic his nickname is "Cephas" and that nickname according to the bible was given to him by jesus of nazareth. his name was simon, it was jesus who renamed/nicknamed him kephas/cephas (meaning rock). so rcruman you better give us a good explanation why peter is not rock when that nickname was given to him by your very own lord jesus.
mao man jud nay tubag, but i think sayop na kung si rcruman muhubad na pud ana.
ahahahahaha waaaaaaaaaaaaa
ayaw lagi pataka-taka hubad sa verse...

He may be correct pre, sa genesis chapters lang gani... "Let US make man in our image..." genesis 1:25 or 26 ba 'to ang verses?
