“The passage contains the feminine word, ‘petra.’”

Thank you. If He had meant the guy Peter, the word would’ve been “Petros”.

Exactly. I don’t claim to be a Greek expert, but I did take two years of Koine under an ***amazing*** Greek scholar. He explained that no way would the Lord have characterized a man, Peter, as a feminine, ‘petra.’ I may not be able to use my prof’s exact words in passing his teaching along, but I got and have retained the gist of it—thank God.

It was Cephas, it was only translated to the Greek word petra.

Cephas means rock, i think Jesus understood what he was saying, and changing the word after the fact does not change the meaning.
