Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Simon, whom he also named Peter,.... Which signifies a rock, or stone, as Cephas also does, see John 1:42 from his constancy, steadfastness, and solidity:
and Andrew his brother; who was called at the same time with him, and were brethren, both in nature and grace:
James and John: the two sons of Zebedee, who were called next:
Philip and Bartholomew; the latter of these is by some thought to be Nathanael.
