• Cephas is St. Peter. John 1:42:⁠— “Thou art Simon the son of Jona; Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, by interpretation, a stone.” The Ottimo seems to have forgotten this passage of Scripture when he wrote:⁠— “Cephas, that is, St. Peter, so called from the large head he had ( cephas , that is to say, head).” The mighty Vessel of the Holy Spirit is St. Paul. Acts 9:15:⁠— “He is a chosen vessel unto me.” ↩
  • Luke 10:7:⁠— “And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire.” ↩
