“The crucial component lodged in all of them is that one must have the ability to convey meaning. If you are sick, and you have a disease then the only thing that can cure you of your disease is an understanding of language and communication, do you understand? [The presence of] a disease means that there is no communication between one area of your body and another because there is a blockage.”

^ It's nice to know that there are ignorant believers on both sides ;)
The Gospels were written in Greek. They were Greek names or local greecised names. Palestine , as well as Egypt, were colonised by Alexander the Great in the 4th Century BCE. In the first century, Greek remained the linga franca in the whole region. Egyptian Jews spoke Greek at the time: they even used a greek version of the Torah and other later sriptures: the Septuagint = "the Alexandrine Bible". Greek was the language of Christianity in the first centuries, before it changed to Latin in Western Europe .

Actually, only Philip and Andrew are Greek names. The rest are Aramaic and Hebrew
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)- crazy how we get "James" from "Ya'aqov"scarabin
- A pedant writes: During the first and second century the names of the disciples would have been the Greek versions. Yes, the origins may be Hebrew but that's not the claim the Capt Pickard is making. ;)Morning_star

- The ones Picard lists aren't the Greek versions, though. For example "Matthew" would have been "Matthaios"scarabin
