  • Simon Peter's Names in Jewish Sources
    journal of jewish studies, vol. lv, no. 1, spring 2004 Simon Peter’s Names in Jewish Sources Markus Bockmuehl Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge imon, Bar Yonah,Peter, Cephas: what, if anything, might St Peter’s names S have meant to Palestinian Jews in late antiquity? On a casual approach, the pickings appear very slim indeed.1 A second look, however, suggests there may still be some interesting mileage in tracing the significance of those names during the late Second Temple and early rabbinic periods. The Talmud, to be sure, does not hold out much hope to anyone looking for knowledge of Simon Peter. While it is widely agreed to hint at Jesus and Jewish Christianity on a number of occasions, there is really only one passage that explicitly discusses the immediate disciples of Jesus.2 This is the famous censored baraita in b. Sanhedrin 43a, missing from standard early printed edi- tions but widely accepted as part of the definitive text: ‘Our Rabbis taught: Yeshu had five disciples, Mattai, Nakai, Nezer, Buni and Todah.’ The text continues by offering an extended midrashic word play on why all five deserve tobeexecuted....3 We cannot be certain that this tradition of five disciples is of Tannaitic origin, or indeed whether this number derives from a desire either to legitimate or to undermine Jesus. It appears to be stylised in keeping with a similar traditional number of five disciples for both Yoh. anan ben Zakkai and 1 Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the Durham meeting of the Society for New Testament Studies (2002) and to the senior New Testament Seminar at the University of Oxford (2003).
