Then why did Jesus name the guy Peter? In order to say "Thou art the Rock, --- but wait, no, not really, you're not the Rock. Um... let me start this sentence over"?
How about "Thou art NOT Peter, but hey, thanks for the profession of faith, 'cuz that's the Rock... did'ja get that, Matthew?"
Too bad Matthew missed the do-over..

Ummmmmm the question is WHEN did Jesus rename Peter ??

John 1 35Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 37And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? 39He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 42And 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.

And a house built on stone (rock) withstands the storm according to a parable of Jesus.
