Why does Paul call Peter Cephas in his writings? Peter means "stone" in Greek, while Cephas is "stone" in Aramaic That verse is confusing in the NIV; the KJV is clearer: John 1:42 (KJV) 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
exegesis - When Jesus gave Peter his name (rock) what is the . . . Given this simple fact, and the fact that Simon was already given the name Cephas at his initial calling (John 1:42), it is far more natural to conclude that the word variation has no special significance than to conclude there is a special meaning to be understood here Commentaries
Why did Paul publicly oppose Peter in Galatians 2, and was Peter guilty . . . In Galatians 2:11–14, Paul recounts a moment when he publicly opposed Peter (Cephas) in Antioch The issue appears to involve Peter's withdrawal from eating with Gentile believers when certain Jewish Christians arrived Paul accuses Peter and others of hypocrisy and not acting "in step with the truth of the gospel "
galatians - Peters hypocrisy? - Christianity Stack Exchange When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group
papacy - How is 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 understood by proponents of the . . . It is certain that Cephas, here, is the Apostle Peter (John 1:42) In Paul's chastisement of the Corinthian believer's "contentions" he lists 4 names that they are claiming to be "of" He outright eliminates himself from the list but, if he recommends any name on the list, it is not Cephas (Peter) but Christ
Who did Christ first appear to after his resurection? Then Cephas and the others saw Him Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her John 20:18 In 1 Cor 15:5, Paul doesn't use the word "first", but simply that Peter saw Him and then the twelve And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 1 Cor 15:5
Did Jesus appear post-resurrection to twelve apostles? And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 1 Cor 15:5 Some time after the ascension, there is a squabble mentioned early in Acts Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables Acts 16:2
papacy - Why did Jesus change Peters name, according to non-Catholic . . . You will be called Cephas [Peter] (John 1:42) In the other gospels, we hear Jesus telling Peter after the miraculous catch of fish that Jesus would make him a fisher of men Peter was a fisher of fish--Jesus would make him a fisher of men (Matthew 4:19) Thus, the name change seems to identify a change in identity and calling
catholicism - How does the Catholic Church explain their belief that . . . But As far as I know, Jesus changed his name to Cephas (Yes, Cephas - as in Galatians 2:7-14, I Cor 1:11-13, I Cor 3:21, I Cor 9:5 and I Cor 15:5 meaning Rock not a pebble) has no other reasonable explanation (Unlike James and John - the sons of thunder - , Cephas is not a name that denotes Peter's Character)
