I've found a duality in which simon peter was written in bible, here's the ambiguity of its verses :
  1. Matthew 16:16-17
    Bar-Jonah meaning is similar to moslem naming convention of their parent using "Peter bin [parent name]", so Bar-Jonah means Simon Peter was the son of Jonah. (NIV version).
  2. John 1:42
    In this verse there are many ambiguity among bible version.
    BBE version : son of John
    NIV version : son of John
    ASV version : son of John
    KJV version : son of Jonah
  3. John 21:15-17
    BBE version : son of John
    NIV version : son of John
    ASV version : son of John
    KJV version : son of Jonah
Whose son does peter ?
