 The semantics of the sentence seem to make a distinction between hOTI ...
PETROS and the PETRAi clause. In the whole statement he is addressing Peter.
The usage of the demonstrative pronoun would seem to indicate that a shift
has taken place.

hOTI SU EI PETROS, KAI EPI TAUTHi THi PETRAi...

Without illiciting any theological discussion on what/who the rock is, is it
fairly clear grammatically/syntactically to conclude that the introductory
clause SU EI PETROS, in that it is painfully obvious (stating the obvious),
must in some way function as a set-up for the forthcoming PETRAi word usage?
Or, are there any other grammatical/lexical considerations that must be
considered in this extented context?
