This is similar to the way Jesus viewed the apostle Peter. Although Peter at times appeared to be unsteady, Jesus predicted that he would become as stable as a rock. ​ — John 1: 42.
فَمَعَ أَنَّ هٰذَا ٱلْأَخِيرَ بَدَا أَحْيَانًا مُتَقَلْقِلًا ،‏ دَعَاهُ يَسُوعُ صَفَا ،‏ أَيْ صَخْرًا ،‏ إِذْ عَلِمَ مُسْبَقًا أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ ثَابِتًا كَصَخْرٍ .‏ —‏ يو ١ :‏ ٤٢‏ .‏
