   C-BC
  
      A {strongly typed} version of {BC} by Mark Hopkins,
      with expanded {C}-like {syntax}, more base types and the
      ability to form {array} and {pointer} types of any dimension
      and to allocate/free arrays at {run time}.
  
      Most {POSIX-BC} features are supported, except that
      {functions} must be declared consistently and declared before
      first use.   {String} handling is slightly different.   It
      requires an {ANSI-C} compiler and runs under {MS-DOS} or
      {Unix}.
  
      Version: 1.1.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Caiaphas
      the Jewish high priest (A.D. 27-36) at the beginning of our
      Lord's public ministry, in the reign of Tiberius (Luke 3:2), and
      also at the time of his condemnation and crucifixion (Matt.
      26:3,57; John 11:49; 18:13, 14). He held this office during the
      whole of Pilate's administration. His wife was the daughter of
      Annas, who had formerly been high priest, and was probably the
      vicar or deputy (Heb. sagan) of Caiaphas. He was of the sect of
      the Sadducees (Acts 5:17), and was a member of the council when
      he gave his opinion that Jesus should be put to death "for the
      people, and that the whole nation perish not" (John 11:50). In
      these words he unconsciously uttered a prophecy. "Like Saul, he
      was a prophet in spite of himself." Caiaphas had no power to
      inflict the punishment of death, and therefore Jesus was sent to
      Pilate, the Roman governor, that he might duly pronounce the
      sentence against him (Matt. 27:2; John 18:28). At a later period
      his hostility to the gospel is still manifest (Acts 4:6). (See {ANNAS}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cephas
      a Syriac surname given by Christ to Simon (John 1:42), meaning
      "rock." The Greeks translated it by Petros, and the Latins by
      Petrus.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

   Cephas, a rock or stone
