Peter
The great Apostle of the circumcision, was the son of Jona, and born at Bethsaida, a town situated on the western shore of the lake of Gennesareth, but in what particular year we are not informed, John i, 42, 43. His original name was Simon or Simeon, which his divine Master, when he called him to the Apostleship, changed for that of Cephas, a Syriac word signifying _a stone_ or _rock_; Peter is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “a rock or stone.” This unified study connects 8 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
