Reblogging because I’ve been reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. 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”. 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). To expand on this, Jesus’s name is Anglicized in this way as well. 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. Yehuda = Judas Iscariot (Hebrew origin, Betrayed Yeshua/Yehosua the Messiah).Ĭephas / Kephas = Peter (Hebrew / Aramaic origin meaning “Rock”).Īndrew = Andrew (Greek origin. Judah = Jude / Saint Jude (not to be confused with Judas Iscariot, Hebrew origin). Ya’aqov = James (Hebrew origin meaning Jacob).īar-Tôlmay = Bartholomew (Aramaic, which is related to Hebrew). The Hebrew, Aramaic and “Greek” named Apostles were: The names of the Apostles are of Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew origins. Their names were translated/Anglicized after going from Greek to English. I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit disturbed…
