Since the New Testament was written in the Greek language,

it is right to begin the consideration of this critical passage

in the language in which it was written:

 

   kago     de     soi      lego    oti   su    ei     Petros    kai  

 I also   And   to you   say     -   You   are      Peter    and

 

 epi    taute    te    petra    oikodomeso    mou     ten    ekklesian;

 on     this      -      rock     I will build       of me    the     church;
