CEPHAS … PETER / JOHN 1:42

(KJV) John 1:42

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

Both of these names (one Aramaic and the other Greek) mean “rock.” Ironically, throughout the Gospel accounts, Peter is definitely no rock in the sense of being unmovable and reliable in his speech and actions. In fact, he is often shown as one who was driven to extremes by his emotions and spiritual instability. Yet in Acts he becomes a bold, powerful and faithful leader of the church. Jesus named Peter not for who he was, but for who he would become. (Notice that the turning point in Peter’s bold and powerful ministry was the baptism in the Holy Spirit as described in Acts 2; John 1:33).
