Something always bothered me about the bible. Those names are not Middle Eastern. Thanks to some random person: Matthew = Mattanyahu Levy Mark = Yehochanan Marcos (many had Hebrew and Greek names) Luke = Lucas (a Greek) John = Yehochanan Peter = Shimon Cephas (the Aramaic for stone) James = Yacov (King James wanted his name in the Bible so the translaters used the name Jacob) Andrew = Adam (the Greek would be Andropos) Jude / Judas = Yehuda (Judah) Stephen = Tsephanyahu (also translated Zephaniah) Bartholomew = Ben Tholomyahu (son of Ptolome) Saul = Shaul with the Greek name Paulos (Paul)
