Paul did not receive a new name. He had a name with the Jews and another with Rome. This was common place in those times. Jesus never gave Paul a name.
Eh? What, does the Truth hurt?Shameful plugging of other threads.
Certainly could have transpired after the laying on of hands in Acts 13 cause that's when it changed. Significance? Didn't Jesus grab hold of Peter with a NEW NAME?

Matt 12:41 `Men, Ninevites shall be resurrecting in the judging with the generation, this, and they shall be condemning it/her, that they repent/reform into the proclamation of Jonah and Lo! more of Jonah here. [Luke 11:30, 32]
Acts 9:15 Said yet toward him, the Lord , "Be thou going!, that a vessel of-choice/ekloghV <1589> is to Me this-one, of the to bear the Name of Me in before nations and kings--sons besides of Israel".
You are the one plugging another thread. That question is best answered by you.
But if you need an answer, I feel no pain or shame. Just the Holy Spirit inside of me.
Simon was the only Apostle to be given a name from Jesus.
As I said, it was common practice for people to go by two different names. Saul was best known for his name Saul. But to go by his other name Paul would provide him with some shelter from those seeking to capture him.
Greetings. I am more interested that New Name in Reve 3Besides Peter who received a name from Jesus and what are these names?
Besides Peter who received a name from Jesus and what are these names?
Me too.I am still waiting to hear of any other Apostles given a name...
An interesting and apposite comment, which expresses a profound truth. We don't, I think, agree on God wishing Revelation to be placed last, or on the reading the quoted verses; but we agree on this wider, and I think more important, point.One of the fascinating things about the Bible is the common Authorship of all its books. While God had a number of penmen, He is the true Author. That truth reveals itself as one studies the Word.
It would be nice to think this would be so. But evidence that it is creating a common understanding and more unity seems, alas, a trifle scarce. It would be good if this were to happen.If the work product is valid, then any student, anywhere in the world, should be able to reach a similar result--or discover errors in the procedure and/or the result. Bible study of this type is 'doing science,' and a high degree of accuracy is both desired and may be achieved. This approach tends to minimize both subjectivity and human error! And it is a 'meritocracy.'
I am still waiting to hear of any other Apostles given a name...
"And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, And Judas Iscariot"
"Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve."
I was hoping someone would bring that up."And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter; And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, And Judas Iscariot"
"Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve."
If you want to make a dissection of the other 3 surnamed Apostles besides Simon, please feel free to cut to the chase.
I was hoping someone would bring that up.
Did anyone notice the word for "judas" comes from the word used for "judah"
Matt 10:4 Simon/simwn <4613> the Canaanite/kananithV <2581>, and Judas/ioudaV <2455> Iscariot/iskariwthV <2469> the-one also giving-up/paradouV <3860> (5631) Him.
John 19:11 Answered Jesus not thou are having authority against Me not-any except it was given to thee from above. Because of this, the one giving-up/paradidouV <3860> (5723) Me up to thee greater Sin is having.
I would recommend a very deep study on that parable in Luke 16 as I view that man as a type of "Judah/Judas"Yep and he was part of a group of Jews that were kind of militaristic if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong and this may be more tale than fact.
I do not see it. I am not baiting or any other silly thing. I am simply asking for a straight forward answer.
Such as:
Simon to Peter
Abrahm to Abraham
and so on...
or Levi to Matthew?
If you want to school me you won't find me offended if there is a worthy point. I'll presume that you can read bold print and that you may even like setups in that stead.
