He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter).
 Again, it is not said that in the beginning He was, in the sense of then coming into being ( ἐγένετο ),   but He existed ( ἦν ). Thus before all time the Word was. When the great truth of the incarnation is noted in verse 14, it is said not that the Word came into existence, but that He was  made  ( ἐγένετο ) flesh began so to be. This, therefore, so much the more contrasts with verses 1 and 2.
