Was the apostle Peter also called Simon Cephas of Tarsus?

"Peter" is named five different ways:"Peter," in Matthew 14:28"Simon" in Luke 22:31"Simon Peter" in Matthew 16:16"Symeon" at Acts 15:14"Cephas" at John 1:42But it was the Apostle Paul who was from Tarsus.Roman Catholic AnswerTo shed some light on the confusion, his name was Simon, that was his Jewish name in Aramaic. Jesus gave him the name "rock" in Matthew 16:18. The word for "rock" is Kephas or Cephas in Hebrew, and Petros (feminine) or Petras (masculine) (most other languages have gender in their words) in Greek (from which we get the name Peter).
