====The rock is faith in Jesus as the Christ====
The common Protestant interpretation as noted above is that the rock of the chucrh church is faith in Jesus as the Christ. Some early church fathers who supported this view included [[John Chrysostom]]. Another supporter of this interpretation was [[Martin Luther"]], who said that "All Christians are Peters on account of the confession which Peter here makes, which is the rock on which Peter and all Peters are built."
====Jesus himself is the rock====
