Question: Who is the Simon in Simon Peter?
“Though art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Church”.
Matt.16:13–18.
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”. 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Jesus is referring to the statement Peter has made, i.e., the fact that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed) of God; The Messiah of Old Testament Prophecy!
