I don’t know if Jesus spoke Hebrew or just what but he did use cephas which means rock, not little rock or big rock but just rock.

Point out from the rest of the scriptures where Peter was used as the rock to have the church built on him...Surely there has to be more than just Matt. 16:18...

Yes, there is one of the Apostle Paul's epistles that points out the apostles and prophets are the foundation stones with the Messiah being the chief cornerstone.


Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Ephesians, Catholic chapter two, Protestant verses nineteen to twenty two,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James


The cornerstone (or foundation stone or setting stone) is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.

John 1;42 is where Jesus said that Simon
would be called cephas meaning rock and Paul also
calls Simon Cephas.
