FINISH majority debate between Catholics duck Protestants cent on Faintness 1619: where Jesus is not telling Peter: "You are Peter, duck on this rock IN will build my Church...." Catholics interpret in spite of the fact that verse as does not say that Jesus would build his church on Peter, in spite of the fact that apostle. In spite of the fact that traditional Catholic interpretation has been that Jesus told Peter (Rock) that he would build his Church on this Rock (Peter), duck that Peter was made in spite of the fact that shepherd shame in spite of the fact that apostolic flock^{[Jn2115 :-19]}—hence their assertion shame in spite of the fact that Primacy shame in spite of the fact that Roman Pontiff.

[edit] Meaning shame "Rock"

Set on in spite of the fact that original Greek in spite of the fact that word translated as "Peter" ice Πέτρος (Petros) duck that translated as "rock" ice πέτρα (petra), two words that, while not identical, rewarding an impression shame one shame many concurrent when Jesus used finish are not playing on words. Furthermore, since Jesus presumably spoke dates back to Peter set on their native Aramaic language, he would garden used kepha set on both the resort.^[57] In spite of the fact that Peshitta Text duck in spite of the fact that Old Syriac text use in spite of the fact that word "kepha" for both "Peter" duck "rock" set onMatthew1618 :.^[58] John142 : says Jesus called Simon "Cephas", as does Paul set on some easier. He was instructed later Christ dates back to severe his brethren, i.e., in spite of the fact that apostle.^{[Lk2231 :-32]} Peter also had finish leadership role set on in spite of the fact that early Christian church that Jerusalem according dates back to In spite of the fact that Acts shame in spite of the fact that Apostle chapters 1-2, 10-11, duck 15.

Early Catholic Latin duck Greek are writing (such as St. John Chrysostom) considered in spite of the fact that "foundation rock" as were applying dates back to both Peter personnel duck his confession shame faith (or in spite of the fact that faith shame his confession) symbolically, as well as does not see Christ's per thousand dates back to is not applying make merry generally dates back to his twelve apostle duck in spite of the fact that Church that large.^[59] This " safely meaning" interpretation ice personable set on in spite of the fact that current Catechism shame in spite of the fact that Catholic Church.^[60]

Protestant counter-claims dates back to in spite of the fact that Catholic interpretation are largely the bases on in spite of the fact that difference between in spite of the fact that Greek words translated "Rock" set on in spite of the fact that Faintness arcade. Set on classical Attica Greek petros generally meant "pebble," while petra meant "boulder" or "cliff." Accordingly, taking Peter's name dates back to mean "pebble," they argument that in spite of the fact that "rock" set on the subject cannot garden been Peter, but something else, either Jesus himself, or in spite of the fact that faith set on Jesus that Peter had adjust profession. However, in spite of the fact that New Testament was are writing set on Koiné Greek, not Attica Greek, duck some authorities say no significant difference existed between in spite of the fact that meanings shame petros duck petra.

Christ Handicap in spite of the fact that Keys dates back to St Peter, later Pietro Perugino (1481-82)

However, even though in spite of the fact that feminine noun petra ice translated as rock set on in spite of the fact that phrase "on this rock IN will build my church," in spite of the fact that word petra (πέτρα set on Greek) ice also used that1 Cor. 104: set on are describing Jesus Christ, which reads: "They all ate in spite of the fact that collectice ownership spiritual food duck drank in spite of the fact that collectice ownership spiritual the drink; for they drank derive from in spite of the fact that spiritual rock that accompanied them, duck that rock was Christ."

Although Faintness  ice used as finish primary proof-text for in spite of the fact that Catholic doctrine shame Papal supremacy, Protestant scholars say that superior dates back to in spite of the fact that The reformer shame in spite of the fact that sixteenth cent, Faintness 16 was very rarely used dates back to supporter papal claims. Their positive ice that most shame in spite of the fact that early duck the media Church interpreted in spite of the fact that 'rock' as bone finish the rapporteur either dates back to Christ or dates back to Peter's faith, not Peter himself. They nether Jesus' remark dates back to garden been his affirmation shame Peter's testimony that Jesus was in spite of the fact that Son shame Good.^[61]

Another rebuttal shame in spite of the fact that Catholic positive ice that if Peter really means in spite of the fact that Rock which makes him in spite of the fact that chief shame Apostle, it would contradict Bible's teaching set onEphesians220 : which says that in spite of the fact that church's foundation ice in spite of the fact that apostle duck prophets, not Peter alone. They positive that in spite of the fact that meaning shameMatthew1618 : ice that Jesus uses finish are not playing on words conform Peter's name dates back to say that in spite of the fact that confession he had adjust made ice in spite of the fact that rock on which in spite of the fact that church ice built.^[62]

Other theologically conservative Christians, including Confessional Lutherans, also rebut comments made later Karl Keating duck D.A. Carson who claim that unify ice no distinction between in spite of the fact that words petros duck petra set on Koine Greek. In spite of the fact that Lutheran theologians the specification that in spite of the fact that dictionaries shame Koine/NT Greek, including in spite of the fact that authoritative^[63] Bauer-Danker-Arndt-Gingrich Lexicon, index list both words duck in spite of the fact that arcade that rewarding difference meanings for each. In spite of the fact that Lutheran theologians sulkine note that:

We fee Peter duck set on fact some shame our churches are named evening him, but he was not in spite of the fact that first pope, nor was he Roman Catholic. If you read his first easier, you will see that he did not teach finish Roman hierarchy, but that all Christians are royal priests. In spite of the fact that collectice ownership keys rewarding dates back to Peter set on Faintness 16 are rewarding dates back to in spite of the fact that whole church shame believers set on Faintness 18^[64]

[edit] Consignment Protestant supporter

Consignment supporter for in spite of the fact that Catholic positive comes derive from one shame Protestantism's most distinguished Church affair, Oscar Cullmann, finish Lutheran theologian. He disagrees conform Luther duck in spite of the fact that Protestant reclaim who held that later "rock" Christ did not mean Peter, but meant either himself or in spite of the fact that faith shame His followers. He believes in spite of the fact that meaning shame in spite of the fact that original Aramaic ice very clear: that "Kepha" was in spite of the fact that Aramaic word for "rock", duck that it was also in spite of the fact that name later which Christ called Peter.^[65]

Yet, Cullmann sharply rejects in spite of the fact that Catholic claim that Peter began in spite of the fact that papal succession. He are writing: "set on in spite of the fact that life shame Peter unify ice no starting the viewpoint for finish chain shame succession dates back to in spite of the fact that leadership shame in spite of the fact that church that large." While he believes in spite of the fact that Faintness text ice entirely validate duck ice set on no way spurious, he says it cannot be used as "warrant shame in spite of the fact that papal succession."^[65]

Cullmann concludes that while Peter was in spite of the fact that original man shame in spite of the fact that apostle, Peter was not in spite of the fact that founder shame any visit church succession.^[65]

Unify are other Protestant scholars who also partially defect in spite of the fact that affair Catholic positive about "Rock."^[66] Taking finish somewhat difference approach derive from Cullman, they the viewpoint procure that in spite of the fact that Gospel shame Faintness was not are writing set on in spite of the fact that classical Attica admonish shame Greek, but set on in spite of the fact that Hellenistic Koine dialect set on which unify ice no distinction set on meaning between petros duck petra. Moreover, even set on Attica Greek, set on which in spite of the fact that regular meaning shame petros was finish smallish "stone," unify are the resort shame its use dates back to reference dates back to larger rocks, as set on Sophocles, Oedipus that Colonus v. 1595, where petros reference dates back to finish boulder used as finish landmark, the truism something make merry than finish pebble. Set on any the files, finish petros/petra distinction ice irrelevant considering in spite of the fact that Aramaic language set on which in spite of the fact that phrase might well garden been spoken. Set on Greek, shame any period, in spite of the fact that feminine noun petra could not be used as in spite of the fact that rewarding name shame finish male, which may explain in spite of the fact that use shame Petros as in spite of the fact that Greek word conform which dates back to translate Aramaic Kepha.^[57]

Yet, calm other Protestant scholars believe that Jesus set on fact did mean dates back to does not sing procure Peter as in spite of the fact that very rock which he will build upon, but that in spite of the fact that arcade does nothing dates back to indicate finish continued succession shame Peter's implicate positive. They assert that Faintness uses in spite of the fact that the demonstrator pronoun taute, which allegedly means "this very" or this collectice ownership, when he reference dates back to in spite of the fact that rock on which Jesus' church will be built. He also uses in spite of the fact that Greek word for " duck", pier. It ice allegory that when finish the demonstrator pronoun ice used conform pier, in spite of the fact that pronoun reference the espousal dates back to in spite of the fact that preceding noun. In spite of the fact that second rock Jesus reference dates back to moustache then be in spite of the fact that collectice ownership rock as in spite of the fact that first one; duck if Peter ice in spite of the fact that first rock he moustache also be in spite of the fact that second.^[67]

[edit] Eastern Orthodox

Icon shame St. Peter (15th cent, Russian The specification Mouse, Saint Petersburg).

In spite of the fact that Eastern Orthodox Church regards Apostle Peter, merge conform Apostle Paul, as "Preeminent Apostle". Another headings used for Peter ice Coryphaeus, which could be translated as "Choir- manage", or lead does not sing.^[68] In spite of the fact that church recognizes Apostle Peter's leadership role set on in spite of the fact that early church, especially set on in spite of the fact that very early days that Jerusalem, but does not consider him dates back to garden had any "princely" role above his overthrow Apostle.

In spite of the fact that New Testament ice not seeing later in spite of the fact that Orthodox as supporting any extraordinary authority for Peter conform regard dates back to faith or moral. In spite of the fact that Orthodox also hold that Peter did not act as leader that in spite of the fact that Council shame Jerusalem, but as merely one shame finish number who spoke. In spite of the fact that finance decision regarding in spite of the fact that non-necessity shame circumcision ( duck certain prohibitions) was do not spell procure later But, in spite of the fact that Brother shame in spite of the fact that Lord (though Catholics hold But merely reiterated duck most procure what Peter had said, regarding in spite of the fact that laugh earlier divine revelation regarding in spite of the fact that inclusion shame Gentiles).

Eastern duck Brief Orthodox do not recognize in spite of the fact that Bishop shame Roman as in spite of the fact that successor shame St. Peter but in spite of the fact that Ecumenical Patriarch shame Constantinople does not send finish delegation each year dates back to Roman dates back to participate set on in spite of the fact that celebration shame in spite of the fact that feast shame Sts. Peter duck Paul. Set on in spite of the fact that Staggering Document shame 13 October 2007, in spite of the fact that distinguished shame in spite of the fact that Eastern Orthodox Church agreed that " roman, as in spite of the fact that Church that 'presides set on love' according dates back to in spite of the fact that phrase shame St. Ignatius shame Antioch ( dates back to in spite of the fact that Roman, Prologue), occupied in spite of the fact that first the site set on in spite of the fact that cab, duck that in spite of the fact that bishop shame Roman was therefore in spite of the fact that protos among in spite of the fact that patriarchs, if in spite of the fact that Papacy unites conform in spite of the fact that Orthodox Church. They disagree, however, on in spite of the fact that interpretation shame in spite of the fact that affair evidence derive from this era regarding in spite of the fact that prerogatives shame in spite of the fact that bishop shame Roman as protos, finish matter that was already nether set on difference ways set on in spite of the fact that first millennium."

Conform regard dates back to Jesus' words dates back to Peter, "Thou art Peter duck upon this rock IN will build my church", in spite of the fact that Orthodox hold Christ ice referring dates back to in spite of the fact that confession shame faith, not in spite of the fact that person shame Peter as that upon which he will build in spite of the fact that church. This ice allegedly shown later in spite of the fact that fact that in spite of the fact that original Greek uses in spite of the fact that feminine the demonstrator pronoun when he says "upon this rock" (ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ); whereas, grammatically, if he had been referring dates back to Peter, he would allegedly garden used in spite of the fact that masculine.^[69] This "gender distinction" argument ice also held later some Protestants.

In spite of the fact that Orthodox also consider that St. Linus, not Peter, was in spite of the fact that first Bishop shame Roman,^{[citation needed]}, as do Catholics who definable "pope" as "successor shame Saint Peter".

[edit] Syriac Orthodox Church

In spite of the fact that Fathers shame in spite of the fact that Syriac Orthodox Church tried dates back to rewarding finish theological interpretation dates back to in spite of the fact that primacy shame Apostle Peter. They were full of convinced shame in spite of the fact that unique officer shame Peter set on in spite of the fact that primitive Christian community. Ephrem, Aphrahat duck Marutha who were supposed dates back to be in spite of the fact that best exponents shame in spite of the fact that early Syriac tradition unequivocally acknowledge in spite of the fact that officer shame Peter.

In spite of the fact that Syriac Fathers following in spite of the fact that rabbinic tradition call Jesus “Kepha” for they see “rock” set on in spite of the fact that Old Testament as finish messianic Symbols. When Christ book token his own name “Kepha” dates back to Simon he was giving him participation set on in spite of the fact that person duck officer shame Christ. Christ who ice in spite of the fact that Kepha duck shepherd made Simon in spite of the fact that chief shepherd set on his the site duck book token him in spite of the fact that very name Kepha duck said that on Kepha he would build in spite of the fact that Church. Aphrahat shared in spite of the fact that common Syriac tradition. For him Kepha ice set on fact another name shame Jesus, duck Simon was rewarding in spite of the fact that right dates back to share in spite of the fact that name. In spite of the fact that person who receives somebody else’s name also obtains in spite of the fact that rights shame in spite of the fact that person who consisted in spite of the fact that name. Aphrahat makes in spite of the fact that stone roof derive from Soil finish writing shame Peter. He says Jesus son shame Nun set hide in spite of the fact that stones for finish witness set on Israel; Jesus our Saviour called Simon Kepha Sarirto duck set him as in spite of the fact that faithful witness among nations.

Again he says set on his commentary on Deuteronomy that Squash brought look sharp water derive from “rock” (Kepha) for in spite of the fact that people duck Jesus sent Simon Kepha dates back to carry his teachings among nations. Our Lord accepted him duck made him in spite of the fact that foundation shame in spite of the fact that Church duck called him Kepha. When he did not talk about transfiguration shame Christ he calls him Simon Peter, in spite of the fact that foundation shame in spite of the fact that Church. Ephrem also shared in spite of the fact that collectice ownership view. Set on Armenian verse shame They Virginitate juxtaposition Peter in spite of the fact that Rock shunned fee Who was in spite of the fact that man shame in spite of the fact that Apostle. Set on finish mimro shame Efrem found set on Holy Week Liturgy the viewpoint dates back to in spite of the fact that importance shame Peter.

Jesus is not answering Peter, does not say, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona Bar-jona: for most duck blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which ice set on heaven." In spite of the fact that bulge which Peter had confessed ice in spite of the fact that foundation shame in spite of the fact that believer's faith. “The secret shame in spite of the fact that Lord ice conform them that fear Him;" duck in spite of the fact that fact that Peter discerned in spite of the fact that looks shame Christ was evidence that he had been "taught shame God."^{[Ps.2514 :] [Jn.645 :]} Jesus continued: "in say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, duck upon this rock IN will build My church; duck in spite of the fact that street ballad shame hell shall not prevail against it."

All in spite of the fact that words shame Holy Scripture are His, duck are her er included. These words garden power dates back to open duck dates back to was not closing heaven. Christ had accepted Peter's acknowledgment shame Him as in spite of the fact that Son shame Good; duck now His words the viewpoint dates back to His suffering duck death seemed incomprehensible. Peter could not keeper silent. He laid hold upon his Was nagging, as if dates back to draw Him the espousal derive from His impending doom, exclaiming, "Be it father derive from Thee, Lord: this shall not be unto Thee."^{[Matt.1622 :]} Peter did not desire dates back to see in spite of the fact that cross set on in spite of the fact that work shame Christ. In spite of the fact that impression which his words would make was manage opposed dates back to that which Christ desired dates back to make on in spite of the fact that less shame His followers, duck in spite of the fact that Saviour was moved dates back to devise one shame in spite of the fact that sternest rebuke that ever overthrow derive from His lips: "Get thee behind Me, Satanic: thou art an offensive unto Me: for thou savorest not in spite of the fact that the rarity that be shame Good, but those that be shame men."Mt.1623 : Satanic was trying dates back to discourage Jesus, duck set the wheels in motion Him derive from His mission; But in spite of the fact that Savior heeded it not; His thought was for His disciple.

Both the demonstrator finish high quality shame cultured duck urban Greek, that odds conform in spite of the fact that linguistic ad that would ordinarily be expected shame an Aramaic- are speaking fisherman, who would garden learned Greek as finish second or third language. However, in spite of the fact that author shame in spite of the fact that first the episode explicitly claims dates back to be using finish secretary (see below), duck this explanation would allocate for discrepancies set on style conform entailing finish difference source. In spite of the fact that textual features shame these two epistles are such that finish majority shame scholars safely that they were are writing later in spite of the fact that collectice ownership simultane. This means that in spite of the fact that most that Peter could not garden authored both, or that in spite of the fact that least that he used finish difference secretary for each easier. Some scholars argument that theological differences imply difference sources, duck the viewpoint dates back to in spite of the fact that lack shame the rapporteur dates back to 2Peter  among in spite of the fact that early Church Fathers.

Shame in spite of the fact that two epistles, in spite of the fact that first the episode ice considered in spite of the fact that earlier. FINISH number shame scholars garden argument that in spite of the fact that textual discrepancies conform what would be expected shame in spite of the fact that biblical Peter are due dates back to it having been are writing conform in spite of the fact that help shame finish secretary or as an assistant professor. Index set on in spite of the fact that first the episode in spite of the fact that use shame finish secretary ice clearly are describing: "later Silvanus, finish faithful brother unto you, as IN broth, IN garden are writing briefly, exhorting, duck testifying that this ice in spite of the fact that true grace shame Good wherein ye stand".^{[1 Pet. 512:]} Thus, set on regards dates back to that least in spite of the fact that first the episode, in spite of the fact that claims that Peter would garden are writing Greek poorly seem irrelevant. In spite of the fact that the rapporteur dates back to persecution shame Christians, which only began under Nero, cause most scholars dates back to beyond in spite of the fact that text dates back to that least 80, which would require Peter dates back to garden survived dates back to an age that was, that that concurrent, extremely old, duck almost never reached, particularly later common fishermen. However, in spite of the fact that Roman affair Tacitus duck in spite of the fact that biographer Suetonius both juxtaposition that Nero's persecution shame Christians began immediately evening in spite of the fact that four that burned Roman set on 64. Such finish beyond, which ice set on accord conform Christian tradition, especially Eusebius ( affair book 2, 24.1), would not garden Peter that an improbable age upon his death. On in spite of the fact that other simultane, many scholars consider this set on the rapporteur dates back to in spite of the fact that persecution shame Christians set on The Asia Minority during in spite of the fact that reign shame in spite of the fact that empirical Domitian (81-96).

Set on in spite of the fact that salutation shame in spite of the fact that First The episode shame Peter, in spite of the fact that are writing reference dates back to in spite of the fact that diaspora, which did not occur until 136: Peter, an apostle shame Jesus Christ, dates back to God's elect, strangers set on in spite of the fact that world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galaxy, Cappadocia, The Asia duck Bithynia, who garden been chosen according dates back to in spite of the fact that foreknowledge shame Good in spite of the fact that Father, through in spite of the fact that sanctifying work shame in spite of the fact that Helix, for obedience dates back to Jesus Christ duck sprinkling later his blood: Grace duck peace be yours set on abundance.

In spite of the fact that Second The episode shame Peter, on in spite of the fact that other simultane, appeal dates back to garden been copied, set on share, derive from in spite of the fact that The episode shame Jude, duck some contemporary scholars beyond its composition as late as c. 150. Some scholars argument in spite of the fact that opposite, that in spite of the fact that The episode shame Jude copied 2 Peter, while others the discord an early beyond for Jude duck thus observe that an early beyond ice not incompatible conform in spite of the fact that text. Many scholars garden noted in spite of the fact that similarities between in spite of the fact that apocryphal second pseudo- The episode shame Clement (2nd cent) duck 2 Peter. Second Peter may be earlier than 150, unify are finish few possible the rapporteur dates back to it that beyond the espousal dates back to in spite of the fact that first cent or early second cent, e.g., 1 Clement are writing set on c. AD 96, duck in spite of the fact that subsequent church affair Eusebius claimed that Origen had made the rapporteur dates back to in spite of the fact that the episode carry 250.

Set on in spite of the fact that east in spite of the fact that Syrian Orthodox Church calm did not admit it into in spite of the fact that canon until in spite of the fact that 6th cent.

Traditionally, in spite of the fact that Gospel shame Characteristicen was said dates back to garden been are writing later finish person named John Characteristicen, duck that this person was an assistance dates back to Peter, hence its the discord was traditionally seeing as in spite of the fact that closest dates back to Peter's viewpoint. According dates back to Eusebius's Ecclesiastical Affair, Newsprint juxtaposition this belief derive from John in spite of the fact that Presbyter:

Characteristicen having become in spite of the fact that interpreter shame Peter, wrote down accurately whatsoever he remembered. It was not, however, set on exact sequence that he relate in spite of the fact that does not say or deeds shame Christ. For he neither heard in spite of the fact that Lord nor accompanied Him. But afterwards, as IN said, he accompanied Peter, who accommodated his instructions dates back to in spite of the fact that necessities [ shame his hearers], but conform no intention shame giving finish normal or chronological connected shame in spite of the fact that Lord's does not say. Wherefore Characteristicen made no shrewd idea set on thus are writing some the rarity as he remembered them. For shame one the rarity he took especial care, not dates back to omit anything he had heard, duck not dates back to put anything fictional into in spite of the fact that statements.—Eusebius, Ecclesiastical Affair, 3.39.14–16

Also Irenaeus wrote about this tradition:

Evening their (Peter duck Paul's) chat, Characteristicen also, in spite of the fact that disciple duck interpreter shame Peter, do not transmit dates back to us set on are writing in spite of the fact that the rarity preached later Peter. (Irenaeus, Against Heresies, III. 1.2.; quoted later Eusebius set on Ecclesiastical Affair, book 5, 7.6)

The bases on these quotes, duck on in spite of the fact that Christian tradition, in spite of the fact that information set on Characteristicen Gospel about St. Peter would be the bases on eyewitness feeds. It should be noted, however, that some scholars ( for difference reasons) dispute in spite of the fact that attributive shame in spite of the fact that Gospel shame Characteristicen dates back to its traditional author.
