I have not seen the word little rock or massive stone in the scripture, are you sure it really says that? Thanks

I suspect there's a LOT of things you've never seen in the scriptures...

I suspect you are right but I just got through going through at least a half dozen different dictionary’s and at least four
of them said that cephas meant rock.

Which means you don’t know and you were beginning to be my
hero.

In the inspired Greek, the rock thing is clear. In English translations, sometimes the ambiguousity can foster disagreements that need not even exist. Basically, Peter shows that he is kind of rock-headed--hard to teach, difficulty in remembering, with a megalomania complex deserving reproof. And I believe he was chosen to illustrate that these challenges can be overcome with the power of the Holy Spirit's guidance.
