iambrick pentapeter

I say unto thee that I am Peter

and using iambic pentameter:

and also I say unto thee that you

are Petros and upon this rock a few

quoins and blocks later my church is willed

by Me your Father for Peter to build-

the gates of Hell shall not overpower;

but how much is a mason per hour?

  1. Gee boss, I dunno. "The Boss" commented before on the "Modeled sphere" post, 8/6/10. Who's the Boss?
    In a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples (Matthew 16:13-20), Jesus asks, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” The disciples give various answers. When he asks, "Who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answers, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." In turn, Jesus declares Peter to be "blessed" for having recognized Jesus' true identity and attributes this recognition to a divine revelation. Then Jesus addresses Simon by what seems to have been the nickname "Peter" (Petros [rock] in Greek) and says, "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."
