Jesus's & Mary's Real names.

[[MPGH]Liz]

I highly doubt Jesus being Jewish was named Jesus, and Mary, well Mary.

So does anyone know what their real names where? for example in the Hebrew version of the bible? and if not who determined the name Jesus & Mary, or even peter, or Joseph etc.

I looked for a site that would translate, and I found one, but nothing for Jesus, Mary in Hebrew becomes Miryam; Joseph becomes Yosef. It is possible that the pronunciation invoked the English version of these names. But alas nothing on Jesus.


A few other names turned into Hebrew:

Peter: Achitzur, Avniel, Sela, Shamir, Tzur, Tzuriel.
John: Yochanan
Joshua: Yehoshua
Judas: Yehuda
Michael: Michael (oddly enough) But pronounced Me-Kah-el
Paul: Tzuar

That's a few. If you want to look for your own name in Hebrew here is the site.

There are spiritual things that is impossible that a simple human can understand. GOD is about faith...

Matityahu? That's gross.

Anyways, I highly doubt Jesus ever existed, same with Mary, so they probably don't have real names, do they now?

You do realize they were people right? not just randomly popped up in heaven. (etc)

[StRaXD]

I think you are right....

It is most proper to call Him Yeshua. It was indeed his proper name, given to him by his parents, and only in Hebrew does this name have any meaning. In Hebrew Yeshua means both "Salvation," and the concatenated form of Yahoshua, is "Lord who is Salvation." The name Jesus has no intrinsic meaning in English whatsoever.

@Dead Bones Brook: I think they existed...I belive in God...But everyone has their own opinion...

Hey, Liz.

Wikipedia says this:

"Jesus" (pronounced /ˈdʒiːzəs/) is a transliteration, occurring in a number of languages and based on the Latin Iesus, of the Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), itself a Hellenisation of the Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yĕhōšuă‘, Joshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic יֵשׁוּעַ (Yēšûă‘), meaning "Yahweh delivers (or rescues)". "Christ" (pronounced /ˈkraɪst/) is a title derived from the Greek Χριστός (Christós), meaning the "Anointed One", a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Messiah).[40][41]:274-275 A "Messiah," in this context, is a king anointed at God's direction or with God's approval, and Christians identify Jesus as the one foretold by Hebrew prophets.

Peter: Achitzur, Avniel, Sela, Shamir, Tzur, Tzuriel.
John: Yochanan
Joshua: Yehoshua
Judas: Yehuda
Michael: Michael (oddly enough) But pronounced Me-Kah-el
Paul: Tzuar

Peter's name is actually Simon, Peter is more of a title given to him by Jesus, which means "stone" (petra in Greek).

This is what Wikipedia says about Paul's name:

Paul of Tarsus, also called Saint Paul, Paul the Apostle, or the Apostle Paul, (Ancient Greek: Σαούλ (Saul), Σαῦλος (Saulos), and Παῦλος (Paulos); Latin: Paulus or Paullus; Hebrew: שאול התרסי‎ Šaʾul HaTarsi (Saul of Tarsus)

Uhm......Jesus and Mary is a english translation.
