Rethinking Mark 3:17: Did Jesus give both Boanerges and Huioi Brontes as Apostolic Names?
Hebrew-to-Greek transliteration hints in Mark 3:17 seem to point to Hebrew, not Aramaic, as the originating language of boanerges, and to a suggested original name of b!hanê rege or bohanê roge.

If Jesus named Simon both Kephâ and Petros, then there is good reason to consider the possibility that he also gave the two brothers a Semitic name, bohanê rege, and a simple, striking Greek name, huioi brontes. |
