Do you mean John 1:42? John 1:42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

Yes I do. And I already agreed with the fact that Petros/petra were distinct usages in some forms of Greek. We are well beyond that point in the conversation now.

But that point is moot because John 1:42 states clearly that Jesus called Simon Cephas which was then translated into Petros.
