Stone (Noun, Verb, and Adjective):
"a smooth stone, a pebble," worn smooth as by water, or polished (akin to psao, "to rub"), denotes
(a) by metonymy, a vote (from the use of "pebbles" for this purpose; cp. psephizo, "to count"), Act 26:10, RV (AV, "voice");
(b) a (white) "stone" to be given to the overcomer in the church at Pergamum, Rev 2:17 (twice); a white "stone" was often used in the social life and judicial customs of the ancients; festal days were noted by a white "stone," days of calamity by a black; in the courts a white "stone" indicated acquittal, a black condemnation. A host's appreciation of a special guest was indicated by a white "stone" with the name or a message written on it; this is probably the allusion here.
Note: In Jhn 1:42 petros stands for the proper name, Peter, as the RV (AV, "a stone;" marg., "Peter"); petros denotes "a piece of a rock, a detached stone or boulder," in contrast to petra, "a mass of rock."
See ROCK.
