Wow! Look at the difference. The Douay-Rheims Bible is
the English translation of the FIRST Bible, the Latin
Vulgate.

Who could stand the changes made to the King James Version.
I would throw out the KJV and stay with the Douay-Rhiems,
unless I could speak Latin.

John 1:42

Douay-Rheims Bible

And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

John 1:42

King James Version (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.

Such are your words.

Luther's translation predates the D-R.
