Wanted to try and pay homage to perhaps the best tweet in existence. Any and all credit goes to Patricia Lockwood for the original post and picture. And, of course, to darling, affronted Miette.

So….I totally never thought about this. I’m sure very few of you have. I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit disturbed…

[maganayakare]

Wow. Food for thought. I’m sure there’s an answer though.

Their names were translated/Anglicized after going from Greek to English.

The names of the Apostles are of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew origins. The Hebrew, Aramaic and “Greek” named Apostles were: Shim’on = Simon (Hebrew origin). Y’hochanan = John (Hebrew origin). Mattithyahu = Matthew (Hebrew origin). Ya’aqov = James (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob). Bar-Tôlmay = Bartholomew (Aramaic, which is related to Hebrew). Judah = Jude / Saint Jude (not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, Hebrew origin). Yehuda = Judas Iscariot (Hebrew origin, Betrayed Yeshua/Yehosua the Messiah). Cephas / Kephas = Peter (Hebrew / Aramaic origin meaning “Rock”). Tau’ma = Thomas (Aramaic origin). Andrew = Andrew (Greek origin. Is the brother of Cephas / Kephas). Phillip = Phillip (Greek origin). You will note that there are only 11 names, that is because there were 2 Apostles named Ya’aqov (James), which brings the total to 12 apostles.

To expand on this, Jesus’s name is Anglicized in this way as well. We get Jesus from the Latin form of the Greek “Ἰησοῦς”(Iēsous), which is derived from the Herbrew “ישוע”(Yeshu’a, which meant “YHWH is Salvaion”, YHWH, or Yahweh being the name of God). When another form of that name, ” יְהוֹשֻׁעַ”(Yeoshu’a) was allowed to Anglicize through a different set of corruptions, it entered the English Language through Reformist Protestants as the name “Joshua”. Yes. Jesus’s actual name is Joshua.

Greek culture was all over the Middle East; people with Greek names were *everywhere*.

Modern Turkey was heavily Greek in culture until it was conquered by the Turks.

And many Jews spoke Greek, which was the ‘universal’ language, which is why the New Testament was written in Greek.

[prismatic-bell]

Incidentally…..

Mary = Miriam (Hebrew)

Joseph = Yosef (Hebrew)

Jacob = Yakov (Hebrew)

Rebecca = Rivka (Hebrew)

Abraham = Avraham (pronounced Ah-vrah-HAHM, Hebrew)

Moses = Moshe (Hebrew)

Isaac =Yitzchak (pronounced “yitz-HAHK,” with a guttural H, Hebrew)

This is what Jews mean when we say our holy book was stolen from us and that Christians didn’t “inherit” it. We were literally removed from it.

And before you say “oh, well, it’s just a translation! That happens all the time!”, I want you to think about two things: minor characters like Shedrach, Mesach, and Abednego retained their names. It’s only the major figures in Judaism who lost their names this way.

And also, tell me it’d be the same story if Fred, Sam, Gael, and Lawrence were traveling to Mordor to destroy the One Ring. Or would you feel like it might be a wee bit, oh, OUT OF CONTEXT AND APPROPRIATIVE??
