Translations Compared: Eastern or Western?
Hi Akhi P.I.,

They were most likely referred to by both terms, among the two people groups. The Greeks of the region would naturally go with the Greek form, and they may have at the time Acts was written by Luke, which was probably in the late 60s, plenty of Greek speaking converts, being that it was now 30 or so years since the Church of Antioch was established...and the Greeks of the region would have called them by that term, rather than the other.

Some even suggest that it was originally a derogatory term, meant to mock them.

What do you say?


Shlama,
Chuck
