Wow. Something important is being overlooked. The gospels were written by men, not Jesus, decades after Jesus’ death and resurrection. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide the apostles in their daily life and teachings, including in remembering the events that had happened. Do you not think the Holy Spirit brought to their ready recollection the meaning of WHAT was said, regardless of the language used? So if Jesus said and meant “blessed are you, Little Pebble, and upon THIS Huge Bedrock I will build my Church,” why would you be surprised that a Greek written record of it properly lists the Greek words for little pebble and bedrock, which are different, and instead doesn’t say “blessed are you, Bedrock of the Church, for upon YOU, Bedrock of the Church, will I build my Church” ? Perhaps because the latter matches Catholic teaching that the Catholic Church was built on Peter, and not that Jesus’ Church is actually built on the Faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

So simple.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, right?
