“You must be more specific. No full credit unless you show your work.”

2 Macc. 1:16, 4:41, petros = hurling stones. In the New Testament it is used 154 times but in all of them it refers to Peter’s name. The only exception is John 1:42 where it is interpreted as “stone”.

“petra” is used 15 times in the New Testament to mean rock foundation Matt. 7:24, rock cave Matt. 27:60, rock of stumbling 1 Pet. 2:8, spiritual Rock 1 Cor. 10:4, etc.

Let me know if you want more.
