Concerning Petros - ograabe - 01-13-2009

In the Gospels Peter is always referred to as Shimon Keefa ( [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0p0k Jw9m4[/font] ) but in Acts 1:13 he is Petros ( [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Swr=p[/font] ). Isn't Petros a Greek name?

Why did Luke not use Peter's Aramaic name in Acts 1:13?

I have looked up this verse in the Peshitta and Greek and apparently John and James are listed in the reversed order, wondering why ...
