The Scripture quotation is from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16,
vs. 18. "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.
