: Offhand, I don't know the answer, but I do know this is controversial.  Let's try to translate it here and see where we get and what we learn.  Go ahead and give it a try at [[Matthew_10-19_(Translated)#Chapter_16]].  I see that we've already have a start there, but improvements are welcome!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:04, 12 October 2009 (EDT)

::The "stone" is Jesus. Read Peter's words in Acts 4:11-12:
  −
:::''This [Jesus] is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.''
  −
::Or in [[Koine Greek]],
  −
:::11 οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ λίθος ὁ ἐξουθενηθεὶς ὑφ' ὑμῶν τῶν οἰκοδόμων, ὁ γενόμενος εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας. 12 καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἄλλῳ οὐδενὶ ἡ σωτηρία, οὐδὲ γὰρ ὄνομά ἐστιν ἕτερον ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανὸν τὸ δεδομένον ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἐν ᾧ δεῖ σωθῆναι ἡμᾶς.

::I realize that you have your hands full getting the initial translation up, but it would also be great to have a [[polyglot]] capability to show the original and how to arrive at the correct conservative translation. Please let me know if there's interest in a [[polyglot]] version. [[User:SRFoster|SRFoster]] 22:02, 12 October 2009 (EDT)
      
:: Simon, called Peter (Matthew 4:18) is the rock upon which the earthly church was built.  The name Peter is from the greek Petros while the word rock is petra.  Jesus goes on to explain about the relationship between the earthly church in Matthew 16:19.  It is Peter that is always mentioned first in a list of apostles in all four gospels, it was Peter that was giving the sermon at Pentecost in Acts, and it was Peter who selected a new apostle as a replacement for Judas, and it was Peter who was the first Pope.  I don't see how Matthew 16:19 could refer to anyone else as being the foundation for the church. --[[User:JohnnyS|JohnnyS]] 00:09, 13 October 2009 (EDT)
