Commentary on Mark 3:16
Simon surnamed 'Peter' (Πέτρος) receives new identity. 'Peter' means 'rock' (from πέτρα), indicating stability, though Peter often showed instability (impulsiveness, denial). Jesus' naming demonstrates transformative grace—He calls us not based on current character but on what He will make us. Peter becomes spokesperson and leader among apostles, though not superior in authority. Peter's prominent position reflects bold personality and Jesus' sovereign choice.
