(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἤγαγεν αὐτόν πρός τόν Ἰησοῦν Ἐμβλέψας αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Σύ εἶ Σίμων ὁ υἱός Ἰωάννου σύ κληθήσῃ Κηφᾶς ὅ ἑρμηνεύεται Πέτρος)

Cephas is a word in the Aramaic language that means “rock.” Here, Jesus uses the word as a name for Simon. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [which is translated as “Peter” and means “rock” in Aramaic]

John assumes that his readers will know that he is saying what the name Cephas means when translated from the Aramaic language into Greek. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [which is “Peter” in Greek] or [which is the Aramaic word for “Peter”]
