Why do the names in the bible refer to anglo names? Names like Peter, Paul, Mathew, Mary, Joseph, Luke, etc.... were not the names used in the region and at that time.

Anyone who knows about this would be kind by explaining it to me.

King James translation

[Olog-hai]

Those are most definitely not “Anglo names”, whatever that means. Peter comes from Greek “Petros”; Paul from Latin “Paulus”; Matthew from Hebrew “Matityahu”, Mary from Hebrew “Miriam”, Joseph from Hebrew “Yosef”; Luke from Greek “Loukas” and so on. Regional names.

[Salvation]

Translations, I would think.
