Bar-Jona

This is a brief cross-reference entry. For the full topic material click the following topic: Peter.

Bar-Jona is the Greek-form patronymic ("son of Jonah") used at Matthew 16:17 for Simon Peter; UPDV uses "son of John" at John 1:42 (so neither "Bar-Jona" nor "son of Jonah" appears in the UPDV text). For the apostle, see Peter.
