Who is Cephas in The Bible?

Answer 1

Jesus gave Simon (Peter) the name of Cephas. What meaning did he attach to the word Cephas?

"Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone" (John i, 42).

"Thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)" (ibid., New Ver.).

Here Jesus is represented as interpreting the meaning of an Aramaic word, with which his hearers were familiar, by the use of a Greek word of whose meaning they were ignorant, the incongruity of which must be apparent to every reader.

Who ever entered that question meant the Greek Cepheus and was missing an e in the name but there is an amazing connection just the same between the two. Jesus did not just mean stone or rock when he gave Simon/Peter that name and that site goes into how and why.
