    Wotsup is this an accurate translation of Jesus addressing Peter?
    New International Version
    (Matthew 16:18) And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
    See Bible Hub Matthew 16:18

    rock
    Peter is a masculine name originating in the Greek language meaning "rock" or "stone." This name is derived from the Greek version, Petros, which translates to "stone." This biblical name was most notably given to one of Jesus's apostles, Simon.

    How, then do you interpret the above verse (Matthew 16:18) other than Jesus meaning that Peter is the rock or stone on which he (Jesus) will build his church?
