I still find it odd that Luqa, writer of both Luqa and Acts, would change the name he used to reference Shimon "mid-stream" in his writings. Why would he shift, after referencing Shimon as Shimon Keepa in Luqa then reference him as Shimon Petros in Acts? ... I hope the question makes sense.
Shlama!
Keepa occurs in Acts 13 times, "Petros" occurs only once in Acts - at the very beginning.
Along this line of inquiry - Why did Paul use Keepa, instead of Petros, when writing to the churches in Corinth and Galatia?
