Have you ever wondered why the apostles have names that sound like they are from European countries? On today’s episode of Changing, our host, Donald Kelly, teaches you why the apostles' names are the way they are. 

Here is why

• The twelve apostles were Simon (Peter), Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew (Nathanael), Thomas, Matthew (Levi), James, Thaddaeus (Judas), Simon, and Judas Iscariot. (Matthew 10:2-4)
• These names are not their middle eastern names, their names have been changed through many translations. 
• The Roman Empire spread across the Middle East and swallowed the regions where Jesus preached. The New Testament was then written down in the form of Greek, perhaps a blend of Greek and Aramaic.
