I was thinking about this the other day.
All the 'important' people in the bible, have what I think of american and/or english names. Mathew, Mark, Luke, JOHN,MARY.
I even think of Jesus as a 20th century name.
Most of the othe people in the bible have names that I can not pronounce. Names with 7 8 or 9 letters. Names that I think of as (forgive the term) Arabic..
I also do not see that many people now a days over where Jesus came from with names even close to those, (john,mary, Mathew). And such.
If it was because the bible was translated into english then why not translated ALL the names..?
