You're dodging the point Reg. You admit that Jesus was speaking in Aramaic. Do you doubt what Aramaic name Jesus gave Peter? It is recorded elsewhere in Scripture, isn't it?

If you mean it is recorded as Kephas in some modern English language versions the answer is yes. If you mean there are original Greek, Aramaic, or Hebrew translations which use Kephas please provide a link. I am not aware of any.

(Reg) Incidentally, what was the name Jesus called Peter the very last time he spoke to him? Does it have any meaning to you?

Petie? Or maybe it was years later and it was OldPeter?



How about "Simon, son of John"? Use your imagination and change this into "Rock".

Who knows? Is there a record in Scripture that says "and this is the last time Jesus spoke to Peter, and this is the appelation He used?"

I figured you'd be happy if both the KJV and RSV agree. The only one I know of that doesn't say that is the Living Bible so if you want to go down that road.... I suspect Mack won't go with you. :)

Are you aware of some version that does NOT include the Aramaic?
