Mark 1:16 records a disciple Simon, the brother of Andrew. He is mentioned again in 1:29, 30, and 36. In 3:16 Mark refers to him as 'Simon (to whom he [Jesus] gave the name Peter)' (NRSV). Verse 3:18 records a 'Simon the Cananaean' and verse 6:3 records a 'Simon' who is stated to be a brother of Jesus, but these appear to be different individual. From then on we hear no more about any Simon. A Peter appears in 8:29 and all further references are to this name.

What is the history of the name Peter?

Prior to the Apostle Peter, the name was unknown.In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus renamed Simon to Peter. Peter in Greek is petros, and means rock. The change of names in the Bible is always significant. Abraham was originally Abram, and his name change indicated his importance as father of the faithful. Simon became Peter, the rock on which the Church would be built.Different passages in the Bible use different analogies - sometimes Jesus was the cornerstone and the Apostles the rest of the foundation. In this passage, Jesus is the builder, and Peter the foundation.
