:Matthew 16:18 σὐ εἶ '''Πέτρος''' (a huge rock), καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ '''πέτρᾳ''' (huge boulder, rock) οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν.<ref>If, as seems probable, our Lord spoke in Aramaic, the word used would be Kepha (בֵּיפָא, compare Hebrew בֵּפִים Jeremiah 4:29, Job 30:6 =‘rocks’). The paronomasia makes the reference to St. Peter certain, although some doubt whether Christ meant St. Peter, as the leader of the Apostolic band, is the human foundation of the new Church (see Ephesians 2:20; Revelation 21:14), or built on the foundation of the confession of Peter, Σὺ εἷ ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος. The first view is the more reasonable from the literal standpoint of Greek grammatical structure, and would probably have been almost universally accepted had it not been for the insistent persistent assertion of some Roman Catholic commentators, and the prejudiced antipathy of [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[apologetics|apologists]] against Catholicism. [[Orthodox Church|Orthodoxy]] too rejects the Catholic biblical [[exegesis]] of Matthew 16:18 as establishing Petrine Primacy.</ref>
