Actually, Jesus had already changed Peter's name at an earlier point. And He carefully distinguishes, in the inerrant Greek text we possess, between petros (masculine; Peter, proper name) and the petra (feminine; large mass) upon which He would build his church. Had He meant Peter, there are so many ways He could have expressed the idea more clearly in Greek. Language and context and damningly against the notion.

The Gospel of Matthew was written in Aramaic, not Greek, and it was quite clear, if you will read my previous post.

God bless.
