Genesis 32:27-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. Therefore he said, "What is your name?" He answered, "Jacob."

28. But he said, "Your name will not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if you have been strong against God, how much more will you prevail against men?"

29. Jacob questioned him, "Tell me, by what name are you called?" He responded, "Why do you ask my name?" And he blessed him in the same place.

30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, "I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved."
