ACTS 11:26 that makes me think...
#1
Hi Everyone :-) I am new to this website and the forum (and English is my second language, so do not pay much attention to my mistakes...). Ok, I think I have an interesting question to ask: There is written in book of Acts 11:26 that ...disciples in Antiochi were first called Kristianay (I am using EANT by Andrew G. Roth). I don't understand why Aramaic speaking people of Antiochi used a Greek word to give the disciples an official name? Why didn't they call them Meshichoy... or something like that? Or maybe the Greek word Kristianay entered an Aramaic scroll in later times? But how and why? Can someone help me to understand this strange thing? <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: -->
