Father who is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, that thou art a ROCK, and on this _rock_ I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.” In such high terms was the chief apostle distinguished, and thus did his Master peculiarly commission him above the rest, for the high office, to which all the energies of his remaining life were to be devoted. ♦ “Cesarea” replaced with “Caesarea” _Who do men say that I am._――The common English translation, here makes a gross grammatical blunder, putting the relative in the objective case,――“_Whom_ do men say,” &c. (Matthew xvi. 13‒15.) It is evident that on inverting the order, putting the relative last instead of first, it will be in the nominative, ――“Men say that I am who?” making, in short, a nominative after the verb, though it here comes before it by the inversion which the relative requires. Here again the blunder may be traced to a heedless copying of the Vulgate. In Latin, as in Greek, the relative is given in the accusative, and very properly, because it is followed by the infinitive. “Quem dicunt homines esse Filium hominis?” which literally is, “Whom do men say the son of man to be?”――a very correct form of expression; but the blunder of our translators was, in preserving the accusative, while they changed the verb, from the infinitive to the finite form; for “_whom_” cannot be governed by “_say_.” Hammond has passed over the blunder; but Campbell, Thomson, and Webster, have corrected it.
