Immediately after the Good Confession Jesus called Peter, ‘Petros,’ and the confession itself—i.e.: the foundation upon which the church is built—’petra.’ That is a fact.

Jesus never said to Peter *Upon YOU I will build my church.*

Nor did He say to the other disciples *Upon HIM I will build my church.*

The church is build of living stones (us) of which Peter, for example, is a small stone of, as are the rest of us.

Oh, a fact huh, it is also a fact that since Jesus spoke in Aramaic he probably used the word Cephas just as he did in John 1:42.
