Commentary on John 1:42
Andrew brings Simon to Jesus, who immediately renames him: 'Thou art Simon... thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.' Jesus sees not just who Simon is but who he will become. The name change from Simon (heard) to Peter/Cephas (rock/stone) prophesies transformation. The unstable fisherman will become a foundational apostle. This naming demonstrates Christ's authority and foreknowledge, and His power to transform character.
