I believe that your Bible may be erroneous in its translation.

Gospel John 1:35-42 ©
As John stood with two of his disciples, Jesus passed, and John stared hard at him and said, ‘Look, there is the lamb of God.’ Hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. Jesus turned round, saw them following and said, ‘What do you want?’ They answered, ‘Rabbi,’ – which means Teacher –’where do you live?’ ‘Come and see’ he replied; so they went and saw where he lived, and stayed with him the rest of that day. It was about the tenth hour.
  One of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. Early next morning, Andrew met his brother and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ – which means the Christ – and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked hard at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John; you are to be called Cephas’ – meaning Rock.

If you were following the discussion you would have known we were talking about the passage in Matthew 16 not John 1.

Yes! Christ changed his name to Rock which is what Peter means in the original language. Also taking quotes from a letter written before Peter went to Rome does not mean much. The letter was written for the time it was written at least unless for something that stands for all time.

He went to Rome after the letter which is put in the whole New Testament many years after the fact of Both(Peter's whole life and the time it was written.)

But by this logic we can say they never went to the bathroom because it is never fully discussed or written. And if they wrote about it once does that prove everybody did it conclusivel? LOL!!

BUT When We think any little dot and nuance can be figured from the Bible Alone is like this
