be כיפא. Thomas (Θωμᾶς) John 11:16 Then Thomas, who was called Didymus, said to his co-disciples, "Now let us go that we might die with him!"Thomas () is listed among the disciples of Jesus in all four gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. However, it is only in John's Gospel that more information is given. In three places (John 11:16, 20:24 and 21:2), he is given the name Didymus (), the Greek word for a twin. In fact, "the Twin" is not just a surname, it is a translation of "Thomas". The Greek —Thōmâs—comes from the Aramaic tōmā, "twin". Therefore, rather than two personal names, Thomas Didymus, there is a single nickname, the Twin. Christian tradition gives him the personal name Judas, and he was perhaps named Thomas to distinguish him from others of the same name. In Aramaic, it could be ܬܐܘܡܐ. Tabitha (Ταβιθά) Acts 9:36 In Joppa, there was a disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas.The disciple's name is given both in Aramaic (Ταβιθά) and Greek (Δορκάς). The Aramaic name is a transliteration of Ṭḇīthā, the female form of (Ṭaḇyā). Both names mean 'gazelle'. It may be just coincidence that Peter's words to her in verse 40, "Tabitha, get up!" (), are similar to the "talitha kum" phrase used by Jesus. In Aramaic, it could be טביתא. Aramaic place names in the New Testament Gethsemane (Γεθσημανῆ) Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane.Mark 14:32 And they went to a place that has the name Gethsemane.The place where Jesus takes his disciples to pray before his arrest is given the Greek transliteration Γεθσημανῆ (Gethsēmanē). It represents the Aramaic Gath-Šmānē, meaning 'the oil press' or 'oil vat' (referring to olive oil). In Aramaic, it could be ܓܕܣܡܢ. This place name is more properly an Aramaized version of an original Hebrew place name. Gath גת is a normal word for press in Hebrew, generally used for a wine press not an olive press though; and shemanei שמני is the Hebrew word shemanim שמנים meaning "oils", the plural form of the word shemen שמן, the primary Hebrew word for oil, just in a construct form (-ei instead of the ordinary plural suffix -im). The word in Aramaic for "oil" is more properly mišḥa (משחא), as also attested in Jewish writings in Aramaic from the Galilee (see Caspar Levias, A Grammar of Galilean Aramaic, Jewish Theological
