"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it." (RSV). In the Greek, the words for 'Peter' and 'rock' are 'Petros' and 'petra.' In vs. 16 Peter had said "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." The rock that Jesus refered to is His divinity, not the person of Peter. -- Tom Davis uw-beaver!ssc-vax!tld
