Preface
Many thanks are due to Paul Younan for his interlinear of The Gospels , which I
consulted , along with George Lamsas and Murdocks translations of The Peshitta.
This is not a revision of any previous translation, however, but is a fresh word for
word rendering and is distinct from all the above translations. I trust that the hand of
Him Who originally breathed out the word was upon me as I translated. To Him I am
supremely grateful for His guidance and inspiration, and for the original and
aqs le aqs aqswp

infallible text which He has bequeathed to His church and for the world to hear and
read, for the salvation of all who will believe in Him ,Whose story and Gospel is told
herein.

Introduction
Why do we need a translation of an Aramaic New Testament ? Others have translated it in
the past, and besides, the NT was written in Greek, wasnt it ? If I were convinced that The
NT were written in Greek, I would not have undertaken to make this translation. Simply
put, The Peshitta Aramaic New Testament is the original New Testament, word for word,
letter for letter. I address that at length in the 700+ pages that follow and also in my book,
Divine Contact. I believe I have discovered scientific proof, as strong as scientific proof
can ever be, that The Peshitta New Testament was written by God and preserved perfectly
in its original text until this time.
About five years ago I read a statement written by Josephus in the first century. Josephus
was a Jewish historian born in Israel AD 37. He was the most prolific writer of Israels
history and was born son of Matthias, a priest , of a priestly line. Josephus joined the sect
of The Pharisees as a teenager. He was a highly educated scholar and activist in Israels
affairs, later commanding the Jewish army against Roman attacks in Galilee .
Josephus provides almost all the historical information of first century Israel available
today. Every serious student of the New Testament has consulted Josephus for background
information on that time period in Israel.
I have also taken a great deal of pains to : sephus This is the statement I read from Jo
obtain the learning of the Greeks, and to understand the elements of the Greek language,
although I have so accustomed myself to speak our own tongue , that I cannot pronounce
Greek with sufficient exactness. For our nation does not encourage those that learn the
language of many nations. On this account, as there have been many who have done their
endeavors, with great patience , to obtain the Greek learning, there have hardly been two

) 93 . D . A published circa ( . 2 XX, XI Antiquities
Josephus, a learned scholar of his time, wrote that he did not know Greek well enough to
speak it fluently; he knew a few who had learned it well. The main truth to be gleaned here
is that Greek was not the language of Israel, nor a second language. It had to be studied
deliberately to be learned, and it was apparently discouraged by the Jews.
In A.D. 77, Josephus wrote his Jewish Wars in Aramaic and later translated it into
quoted above, Antiquities, Even his later . oman citizens R speaking - Greek for the Greek
shows that Josephus was not fluent enough in Greek to compose his several volumes in
that language. The Jewish rabbis of that time forbade the teaching of pagan tongues to
their young men. They taught that it was preferable to feed ones son the flesh of swine
than to teach him Greek.

Josephus elsewhere wrote that he wrote his works in the language of his country and
Greek was not the language This establishes that . s history into Greek later translated hi
. of Israel
This historical information is valuable in determining what the language of the original
NT was . The New Testament was written by Jews in Israel, for the most part, and to
Jews originally, since they were the original Christians. Even the church in Rome was
established by Jewish converts who had been dispersed from Israel and spoke Aramaic.
Aramaic had been the language of the Holy Land and the Middle East since the 7
th

century BC. It was imposed on that part of the world by The Assyrians when The
Assyrian Empire ruled that area of the world in the ninth through seventh centuries.
Greek never supplanted Aramaic in that area .

Greek did spread in the western empires of Alexander The Great and the Caesars . That
is why the Hebrew Old Testament was commissioned by Greek King Ptolemy of Egypt
around 285 BC to be translated into Greek, so he and Greek speaking people of
Alexandria, Egypt, could read the Jewish scriptures in their own language.

There is more than history to support the theory that The NT was originally written in
Aramaic. This evidence is internal- within the text of The Aramaic NT itself. Actually
there are many types of this internal evidence. I will mention the most intriguing and
unusual here.
When I read Josephus statement quoted above, I wrote to Roy Reinhold, distributor of
Codefinder Bible code software and colleague of Kevin Acres, its developer.I asked him
if he could obtain The Peshitta version of The NT for the program , so that I could
search it for codes. He sent me a module of The Peshitta NT within a very short time; he
had been working on it prior to my request and I was one of three people in the world
who had this version in searchable format for Codefinder, as Codefinder had not been
publicly distributed with this module, and has not been, as of this writing. The Peshitta is
the only complete Aramaic NT in existence that is held to be the original NT by any
established Christian church. That church is The Assyrian Church of The East. This
church has a lineage going back to the first century, being founded by the Apostle
Thomas in ancient Persia, now Iraq and Iran. The Church of The East became the
largest church of the middle ages, spreading the gospel message and building churches
as far away as India and China, with 100 million members.The Muslim conquests and
massacres of the seventh to the 11
th
centuries as well as the Mongols destruction of
Christians and churches left very few members of that great church remaining ! This is
history unknown to most in the West. Eastern Christians have not forgotten. I am
indebted to Paul Younan, a native Assyrian of Lebanon and member of The Holy
aqs le aqs aqswp

Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of The East, for pointing this out and making
available written accounts of the history of this church and the Assyrian people. One

As soon as I received this electronic version for Codefinder, I searched the text for what
are called Bible codes. These are words and messages hidden and searched for by
skipping a particular number of letters of text to find each letter of the code. I searched
Matthew first by itself, since there was other acknowledged Western church tradition
supporting an original Aramaic Matthew. The term I searched for first was Jesus
Christ, just eight letters in Hebrew. Hebrew and Aramaic have the same alphabet and
letters. The term shows up one time in Matthew at a skip of 17,921. It goes through the
book twice in the search, since this is a toroidal search, connecting the end of Matthew
with the beginning, making the text an endless loop. The eight letter Name has a 1 in 21,
or approx. a 5% chance of occurrence. That is not highly unusual. What is highly
unusual is an additional 53 Hebrew letters attached to this string of 8 letters , spelling
out a 61 letter message about the crucifixion which goes around Matthew .Here is the
string of letters as they appear in the Codefinder matrix, only turned horizontal from the
vertical:
The above red letters are the same turned sideways, the top laid down to the right , reading
toward the left, as Hebrew reads right to left. It is left to the code searcher to decipher
words by separating words with spaces to see if there is rhyme or reason to the whole thing.
This is what I found in the string, using every letter in the same order as above, only
separating them into words and spaces :

I have verified this with another Hebrew scholar , just so the reader knows I am not making
this up or imagining things. There are other possible translations of the string, but this is a
valid possibility in Hebrew.
I have commentary on this in my book , Divine Contact, which I will not discuss here ,
except to say that the speaker seems to be God The Father , concerning His Sons suffering
on the cross.
What probabilities are associated with this particular string of 61 letters spelling out the
above message in Aramaic Matthew ? Codefinder calculates this also, using the alphabet
letter frequency tables generated automatically for each search text. The probability is
represented by what is called an R Factor, which is an exponent of the odds against one
occurrence of the string being intentionally designed in the text . The R factor is 66.98 for
this one ELS ! That translates to a probability of 1 in 10 to the 67
th
power (1 with 67
zeroes after it) in a text the size and letter makeup of the Aramaic gospel of Matthew.
[ If Matthew had one letter more or one less, the above 61 letter code would not exist.
The version of Matthew I used with Codefinder is from The Eastern Version, used by the
Church of The East . ]
Any text can produce a long string of letters by skipping letters; the trick is to find a
long string that form words and coherent sentences according to the rules of
grammar and syntax of a language. That has not been found to occur in the many
efforts of a team of researchers over a four year period of searching for codes in five
different editions of The Greek NT !
I have found six long codes in The Peshitta NT thus far, and I am convinced there are many
more to be found. All of them are gospel messages of The Christ, concerning His birth
(one) or suffering and death (five). The shortest is 25 letters long , and is about His birth:

This code is an example of a wrapped ELS, where the textin this case the entire Aramaic
New Testament is made a loop, the end being connected to the beginning and searches can
continue on indefinitely.

Note: This code has been verified by an Hebrew scholar fluent in the language- Dr.
Nathan Jacobi.

This is an equidistant letter sequence- ELS, found using the computer program
Codefinder 1.22 . It skips letters , searching for a code; in this case, I entered the
New The Peshitta It searched for the term in . , in Hebrew Jesus in a manger words
Testament, which uses the Hebrew alphabet in its Aramaic language- The native
tongue of Jesus and His countrymen.
The ELS reference is 18474 characters between rows.
There are 1 displayed terms in the matrix.
The matrix starts at 2 Peter Ch 1 V 2 Letter 13 and ends at Acts Ch 27 V 10 Letter 61.
The matrix spans 443377 characters of the surface text.
The matrix has 25 rows, is 1 columns wide and contains a total of 25
characters.Codefinder 1.22 found the term , starting at 2 Peter 1:2, letter 13 (James
,1&2 Peter follow Acts in the Eastern canon order of books) by skipping 18,474 letters
24 times, spells out exactly what I have printed above. It goes to the end of Revelation
and wraps around to Matthew and continues to Acts 27:10,letter 61, thus going

What are the chances of finding this 25 letter message in this text?
Codefinder, using the frequency statistics for each letter of the code, calculates an R
factor of 20, which essentially is the number of zeros after the decimal point in the
probability figure ! - 0.00000000000000000001 or 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 .
That is approximately 1 in 100 million-trillions.

I could go on and on with more codes. These are the first I found. I have recently found
a 191 letter code which is a string with a message in Hebrew of 93 letters, then 77 of
those letters also spell out an Aramaic message, and 23 of those also spell out another
Hebrew code backward ! This code goes through the entire NT almost 16 times and has
a skip # of 74,806. Its R Factor is 177 .
All these codes depend on the exact number and arrangement of letters in the search text,
which for most of the searches, is the entire NT. If one letter were added to the NT
anywhere, all of the codes would disappear ! If one letter were deleted, the same would
apply!
aqs le aqs aqswp

To test the hypothesis that God put codes into The Bible, I performed an extensive
experiment. My hypothesis stated: If God were to put codes in The Bible, He would also
code the text with His Names and Titles as found in The Scriptures in Hebrew and
Aramaic,, as a sort of signature , fingerprint or Divine watermark, in such significant
numbers that there would be no doubt that He was the author of the text and codes. I
tested 95 Names and Titles of the Godhead in Hebrew and Aramaic and performed
several experiments. The last one involved 367 searches in The Peshitta NT and also 367
searches in a control text, which is a scrambled Peshitta NT. The same names and skip
ranges were used in both texts and the results were analyzed statistically with the
oversight of professional statistician and former fellow of Price Water House Cooper, the
worlds largest accounting firm, Ed Sherman.
Ed now hosts a web site and newsletter devoted to the research of Bible codes . He was
once a skeptic , but is now convinced by the mathematical odds against these being
chance occurrences, that the Bible was coded by God thousands of years ago.
Ed has published my findings in several articles of his newsletter, Bible Code Digest, at Biblecodedigest.com.
The results of my experiment are quite compelling evidence and the odds against the
Names found occurring unintentionally in The ancient Peshitta NT at all skip numbers,
from 1000 to 230,000, throughout the 27 books from Matthew to Revelation- those odds
are enormous.
The average probability for one search of one Divine Name at an average skip range of
1000 to 40,000 skipped letters per search is one in 1.64 million ! The control text yields
completely normal and predictable results. The average probability for the same search
in the control text is 1 in 2, or 50%, which is to be expected.
The cumulative results in The Peshitta NT for its 367 toroidal searches at all skip
numbers above 1000 to 230,000 max. yield a composite probability of 10
2100
to one !
If this is not enough, by using nine other methods of computer analysis of the respective
texts , I have verified the secondary premise that the Peshitta is not a translation, but that
the Greek NT is translated from The Peshitta .
The above explains why I have proceeded with an interlinear translation of this most
unusual text. I believe what I have in my possession is the exact, word for word, letter for
letter, original and Divinely authored New Testament ! It contains no errors of any kind-
historical, grammatical, orthographical, textual, geographical, scientific, or theological !
It answers to our Lords promise:
Nrben al ylmw Nwrben aeraw ayms -Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth may pass away, but My words shall not pass away.

rbet aowmn Nm adx atwta wa Nwrben aeraw aymsd Nyd wh qysp- Luke
16:17
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass
from the law.
The Law is a term referring to the written word of God, as John 10:34 reveals, since
Jesus refers to Psalm 86 as The Law.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul:
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

I dedicate these four Gospels and their translation to Him Who authored them and Who
has perfectly preserved and revealed them for us and all generations to come. May they
accomplish His good pleasure and glorify The Name of The Savior of the world, God His
Father, and The Blessed Holy Spirit, for all time and eternity. Amen

The Love Letter
If you were in love , and your lover had died, and her love letters to you had been
translated by request of a friend who wished to write your story in Chinese, which would
be more precious to you, the originals or the translations ?
Suppose that someone had stolen the originals and for many years, all you had were the
translations. Would you want those originals back again ?
You most likely would be unable to read Chinese, and so would have it translated back into
your native English. Now you have a translation of a translation, and you know much of
the original power and meaning has been lost through translation from English to
Chinese ,languages quite alien to each other, but then, the translation from Chinese back to
English at least doubles the dilemma, if not more so.
If those originals were to come back to you, you would read them through tears and
embrace them, as if she had returned to you. Every word would be perfect and alive !
This Aramaic gospel is what I have just described; It is the love letter and story of your
Lover and it is the original.
It is in His native tongue and it is word for word what He had said and done; it is perfect
and alive. We have read only translations and translations of translations till now. I wanted
and have searched long and hard for the originals, and now I know I have found them for
all His letters.
aqs le aqs aqswp

If you could read Aramaic, I believe you would weep upon reading these as I have. Much
has been lost in translation & much has been restored in this discovery, which is a long
story (I have written much about the evidence at aramaicnt.com), but the proof is in the
letters themselves. This interlinear is the most reverent and precise form of translation
possible, as it gives a word for word English equivalent of the Aramaic, and it displays the
original Aramaic text as well. I am convinced that one of the reasons Mel Gibsons The
Passion of The Christ was so powerful was that the script was in Aramaic, the language
of our Lord. It sounded authentic and true to life. Of course, the vivid visual depictions
could only amplify the realism.
Behind all of it , there is a revelation of a Love deeper than hell, higher than heaven, and
wider than the universe !
John 15:13
(there is not) tyl (this) anh (than) Nm (greater) brd (love) abwx
(will lay down) Myon (his life) hspn (that a person) snad
(his friends) yhwmxr (for the sake of) plx

There is no greater love than this, that a person lay down his life for his friends.
Read this letter slowly and touch the words as you read. These are the original words of
your Lover to your soul. Read it and weep.

The Peshitta Aramaic-English Holy Gospels

Background
The Aramaic Peshitta is displayed in the square Aramaic-Hebrew script , according to the
characters used in first century Israel and Syria, with many textual notes and commentary,
comparing Greek New Testament readings with the Aramaic and forcefully demonstrating
that the original Greek NT is translated from the Peshitta NT text , which Peshitta text is
the original and God - breathed New Covenant, from Matthew to Revelation.
This conclusion is the subject of another book , Divine Contact -The Original NT
Discovered , authored by me . The Peshitta itself is a miracle in many ways. It contains
much coded information throughout ,discoverable only by computer in this century. Some
of these I discuss and show in the above introduction. The above named book displays them
in depth, along with statistical analysis of their probabilities. I employed nine other proofs
, primarily linguistic computer analyses,which verify the above assertion that The Peshitta
NT is Divinely authored.
I am an ordained Protestant minister since 1976 and have pastored several Baptist and
non denominational independent churches since that time. I have been a student of Koine
Greek since 1974 and have a B.A. in Ministerial Studies from Bob Jones University , 1976.
I also studied NT Textual Criticism and the Greek manuscripts independently while
attending that school and since graduation. I have also studied Greek and Hebrew over the
past thirty years, having become quite proficient in Greek and , in the last five years, with
Aramaic especially; certainly proficient enough to read the Greek New Testament and The
Peshitta and translate them accurately into English.
I have searched long and hard for the original NT text, having been strongly convinced the
Majority Greek text was the closest to the original NT. That is essentially the Greek text the
King James translators used for the NT. There is a recognized problem with that position,
however, when approaching the entire book of Revelation; It has no Majority text for many
readings ! The manuscripts are divided up into several large groups, each supporting a
different reading.That fairly discredits the Majority Greek theory of reconstructing the
aqs le aqs aqswp

original, though I believe that approach is far superior to the Critical and Eclectic textual
approach favored by many textual scholars of the past century, which produced the
Nestles Greek NT and the modern English versions , such as The NIV, RSV, ASV, The
Living Bible, NASV, etc. All those versions rely primarily on a few mss. for the NT text and
ignore 95% of the 5000 Greek mss. which may support a significantly different reading.
That cannot be sound practice, as it overlooks the simple truth that the original readings
were bound to be reproduced in the largest numbers of manuscripts, not in just one or two.
Nevertheless, the Greek Textual theories all break down at some point. This, in my
humblest opinion, though I think I have more than an opinion in this matter, is because the
original text was not Greek at all, but Aramaic. It had been long held, up until the end of
the 19
th
century that The Peshitta was the 2
nd
century translation of The Greek NT, and that
it was probably the best and most ancient version. It was also generally recognized that it
agreed with the traditional Greek text of The NT (also called The Textus Receptus-
pronounced Rekeptus) or Received Text.
Once we understand that the Majority Greek tradition represents the earliest translation,
certainly 1
st
century, of the original autographs, and that the original was written in
Aramaic, we can make progress in ascertaining the original itself. This discovery for the
Western world has been reserved for the 21
st
century the computer age.
The Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of The East has known this truth for
almost 2000 years. They have been copying the Peshitta mss. by hand all these centuries,
counting the letters and words, keeping notes of the statistics in what is called a Massora.
They still do this by hand today. But Western arrogance and pride never thought to
question that Jesus Christ and His fishermen and tradesmen disciples spoke Greek - a
Semitic people in a fiercely Semitic culture which had remained so for over 1200
years.They would have rather died than to discard their Semitic tongue (Aramaic had been
their language for seven centuries, and was the language of half the book of Daniel and
several chapters of Ezra, books of Holy Scripture).Never would they as a nation adopt the
pagan Greek tongue as their own.
Aramaic and Hebrew are as similar as any two languages can be; they shared the same
alphabet and characters in the first century and earlier; their grammar is essentially the
same as is the pronunciation of many words; many words are similar in both
languages.Personal names are usually identical. Jesus is Yeshua in Hebrew and
Aramaic. Christ is Meshikha in Aramaic Meshiakh in Hebrew.
For me, the words of The Peshitta itself are as powerful a proof as the scientific evidence
of the codes and Aramaic-Greek word comparisons.This I discovered only by translating
every word of the Gospels. To read the words of The Christ in His native Aramaic, and as I
believe, in written form exactly as He uttered them, is a life changing experience. I am

where stayest thou? He said to them: Come, and see. And they came and saw where
he lodged; and they were with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
According to ancient tradition of church fathers, (Origin especially stands out in my
mind), the four beasts of Revelation six represent the four Gospels: One with a lions
face, one with a calfs head, another with a mans, and one with an eagles. Matthew
presents Christ as King of Israel (Lion of the tribe of Judah); Mark presents Him as the
Servant of Jehovah, in His many works of service to Israel, Luke presents The Son of
Man, and John shows The Son of God, The LORD of Heaven , represented by the eagle,
the dweller of the heights.
Revelation has this phrase four times recorded: Come and see. Each invitation is
spoken by one of these four beasts in his order. I believe the Gospels invite us to Come
and see the glory of Him Whom they present.
Isa 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather
all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Come and see.

The Gospel of Matthew

Chapter 1

Aramaic reads from right to left. The first Aramaic word is abtk.

The plain English prose translation would be the above eight numbered words and phrases arranged in order:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(Book) (of The Genealogy) (of Yeshua) (The Messiah) (The Son) (of David) (The Son) (of Abraham).
This is how one should read the interlinear throughout. Most verses will be understandable if read in this way, though there
will be exceptions due to different word order in Aramaic. Try the next verse.The geneaology is very simple to read in this way.

One very important role The Greek NT plays in understanding The Peshitta is that it provides a window into first century
Aramaic pronunciation in Palestine. Based on Peshitta primacy, the Greek NT is the work of a person bilingual in Aramaic and
Greek and therefore the names of the NT would provide a key to understanding what dialect and pronunciation characterized
the Aramaic of Israel in the time of The Messiah. I try therefore to consult the Greek transliterations of the Semitic names found
in The NT in giving the English renderings, so as to give a phonetic rendering, not merely a transliterated written rendering of
the Aramaic letters. The Aramaic spoken by our Lord seems to have been somewhere between Eastern and Western Aramaic in
pronunciation.
ewsy The Name of our Lord , was probably pronounced ,Yayshu in first century Israel. I obtain this from the Greek
transliteration Ihsou Ihsou Ihsou Ihsou -Iaysou, pronounced Yaysoo. Greek has no sh sound; supplying that from s gives Yayshu.
Aramaeans today pronounce it (Western)Eesho or (Eastern)Eshoo.

(the King) aklm (of Herod) odwrh (in the days) ymwyb
(to Jerusalem) Mlsrwal (the East) axndm (from) Nm (the Magi) aswgm (came) wta

When reading the interlinear, if but is seen next to the Aramaic word Nyd , but may be omitted from the translation , and
the basic sense of the verse will be clear. Normally this word will be the first word translated in a sentence or phrase where it
occurs, where it is never the first in Aramaic.
2
(of the Judeans) aydwhyd (the King) aklm (where is ?) wkya (& they were saying) Nyrmaw
(His star) hbkwk (for) ryg (we have seen) Nyzx (who has been born) dlytad
(Him) hl (to worship) dgoml (& we have come) Nytaw (in the East) axndmb

When reading the interlinear, if for is seen next to the Aramaic word ryg, for may be omitted from the translation , and
occurs, where it is never the first in Aramaic- For we have seen, not we have seen for.

3
(the King) aklm (Herod) odwrh (but) Nyd (heard) ems
(with him) hme (Jerusalem) Mlsrwa (& all) hlkw (& he was troubled) eyzttaw

Often Aramaic has the verb before the subject; In English, we reverse the order, putting the subject first: Heard but Herod
becomes But Herod heard, or simply, Herod heard.Now you have the basic tools with which to read and understand this
Aramaic interlinear.

2
(it) hl (has come near) tbrq (repent) wbwt (& he said) rmaw
(of Heaven) aymsd (the Kingdom) atwklm

wbwt -Taabu has a basic meaning to return. It can mean return to God , be converted or repent. Whichever its
translation, it always indicates a change of direction, which in the moral sense is always a change in the right direction. With
the prodigal son , it started when he came to himself(a return to his right mind) and led him to say I will arise and go to
my father, & to then to go down the road and return home and to say to his father, I have sinned before Heaven and you
and am no more worthy to be called your son. That is true repentance; it really combines all the above meanings in one very
powerful and life changing experience and brings a person home again to himself and to his Father in Heaven.

Yodh is the smallest Hebrew letter. A Taag is a crownlet written above certain letters by the scribes and preserved in
The Hebrew Massorah (Scribal notes on the readings and words of the Hebrew Bible) to identify certain significant words and
their usages and number of occurrences in the scriptures. This indicates that the Torah scriptures would be Divinely perfectly

preserved via the meticulous work of the Hebrew scribes, and that the Massoretes of the sixth century AD were carrying on a
tradition that existed in the first century and earlier, as referenced here by our Lord.

It is very telling to me that our Lord says Come, bring your offering, rather than , Go, take your offering. He speaks as The
One Who receives the Divine offering from men. He spoke as One Who certainly believed He was God. There are many such subtle
hints to this fact in the Gospels, and some not so subtle. Watch for them.

One Greek synonym is Paiv-Pais:
3816 paiv pais paheece
perhaps from 3817; TDNT-5:636,759; n m/f

AV-servant 10, child 7, son (Christ) 2, son 1, manservant 1, maid 1, maiden 1, young man 1; 24
1) a child, boy or girl
1a) infants, children
2) servant, slave
2a) an attendant, servant, spec. a kings attendant, minister
Since the Aramaic hy hy hy hydbe dbe dbe dbe can mean servant, a Greek translator may easily use a Greek synonym such as teknon to translate
it. Codices Alep and B have ergown-Works, which also can be the meaning of hydbe. The Peshitta can explain the origin
of both Greek readings and why two readings exist.These kinds of split spin-off readings in Greek that match dual or multiple
Aramaic word meanings in The Peshitta are fairly common. We do not find the opposite phenomenon, however. The Peshitta
mss. do not have such variant readings. Indeed, The Peshitta mss. have practically no variant readings of significance to
mention, except in approximately ten places in the entire NT ! There is also no Greek type that regularly agrees with The
Peshitta. In one place the Critical Text of Vaticanus and Sinaiticus may favor it and in the next verse, The Majority text. And the
results will alternate. Often The Peshitta will disagree with all Greek readings. This is a highly unlikely scenario if The Peshitta
is a translation of the Greek NT.It is a natural result of and easily explained by an original Peshitta NT and Greek translation
of that original.

* Athuna can mean, A furnace; It can also mean the essence of a thing. The latter seems more fitting, since our Lord
spoke of eternal realities, not temporal. A furnace is merely an earthly type for an eternal reality, as is earthly fire.Eternal fire
is more real than earthly fire, and is the reality behind it. Paul writes later, Our God is a consuming fire. Jastrows

Greek mss. B-Vaticanus (4

In Estrangela, they are: 0 0d dl l$ $ , , 0 0r rg gp p. .. . . .. . Either one Greek translator mistook Shlada for Pagra, or we have a case of split
meanings of an Aramaic word , Shlada , being translated Corpse by one Greek translator and Body by another;It can
have either meaning. Mark 15:45 has the same word split phenomenon in the Greek texts with Aramaic word Pagra !There, the

I am going to display the first line of The Peshitta verse here in Ashuri Aramaic on top and ancient Aramaic script used in
the Dead Sea Scrolls 2100 years ago underneath it:
Ashuri: (many) aaygo (furlongs *) atwdjoa (land) aera (from) Nm (it was) twh (distant) aqyxr (& the ship) aplaw
Dead Sea Scroll: ))ygs )twd+s) )(r) }m twh )qyxr )pl)w

Most Greek mss. omit many furlongs and have was in the midst of the sea. A few, like Vaticanus and Beza, agree with The
Peshitta here. The Peshitta does not conform to any particular Greek text type , in fact, often it disagrees with all Greek
readings. This controverts the Greek primacy theory and is explained by Greek translation of The Peshitta. The different Greek
text types are simply different translation versions of The Peshitta. Greek can in no wise do justice to Aramaic word meanings
and idioms with just one translation of such a pregnant language and text. Either The Peshitta is edited and selected from all
Greek readings and text types and many unique non-Greek readings, or the converse is true,i.e.-All Greek text-types are spin
offs of this original Aramaic Parent Text. The evidence overwhelmingly supports the latter and refutes the former proposition.
aaygo atwdjoa is Many furlongs ; DSS Script
Estrangela 00aaygos Fwdioaau12356O=s0
amyd ateumb is in the midst of the sea; DSS Script
Estrangela a0myd aFeueuoiE9cmb
I have also displayed the Estrangela script at far right just for comparison. I can see a scribe looking at the Old DSS type script
shaded blue and misreading the top two words for the two underneath them.
He had just written the last in , then his eye went to from in

(Furlongs), but since he had just written an , he mistakenly skipped the following and proceeded to read

(which, by the way has the same meaning as the full
(Furlongs) , but he , with tired bleary eyes , saw
Furlongs as In the midst . Each word has the same
number of letters , since he skipped an Alep , and most of the letters are similar enough that they could trick a bleary eyed
scribe who has stay up too late translating by lamplight. He sees the word Stadotha with his eyes, but his mind sees
BMetsatha,and so he writes meson meson meson meson the midst, and now he needs a noun to finish the thought, and his eye again skips
a letter after reading the last Alep in what he reads as and after that he sees
, which is only part of Many , and mistakes as
(The Sea), so he writes thv yalasshv thv yalasshv thv yalasshv thv yalasshv - The Sea .
Why did the Byzantine translator omit the whole phrase distant from the land ? The answer is in the highlighted words:
(land) aera (from) Nm (it was) twh (distant) aqyxr (& the ship) aplaw
& . The First
word in the verse WElpa & the ship strikes the eye as similar to the fifth word with the
preceding letter of the fourth word Maan (from) shown here : from the land. Apparently
what happened is that Zorba (our Byzantine Greek translator) translated the first word
& the ship and then when he looked back at the Aramaic manuscript and his eye went to the
word
, which looks like , which he had just translated, and continued to the
word following , which is as I have outlined previously. This he
read as
In the midst, as I have illustrated.
Here is the graphical evidence explaining this Majority Greek reading:
& The Ship- > - From Land
Furlongs - as - In the Midst
Part of Many- as -Of the Sea

- & The Ship-
- From Land,
-Furlongs
-In the Midst
Part of Many
-Of the Sea

ana ana Ena Na is an idiom which 97% of the time indicates speech from The Deity in The Old Testament Peshitta text (144

Lamsa translates this Ahiah Asher High in Exodus 3:14 as I Am The Living God, which I have chosen as a translation
for this phrase where it indicates Divine speech.

The Critical Greek text of Westcott and Hort (a,B) has to the crowds, whereas the rest of the Greek mss. has to the
crowd. The Aramaic word asnk (Kensha) of The Peshitta can have plural or singular meaning in its unpointed form (Early
mss. have no vowel points),hence this kind of phenomenon is not uncommon. Most Aramaic nouns have the same spelling for
singular and plural forms. Some Greek translators will interpret a noun as singular and others as a plural, as here. This
explains why often Greek mss. will differ in this regard.

Verses 9 and 10 refer to the two multitudes Jesus fed; The Aramaic and the Greek each use two different words for the
baskets used, however , the Greek lexicons are uncertain about the origin of kofinov kofinov kofinov kofinov (Kofinos) )) ) , which looks like it may be
borrowed from the Aramaic word Nynypwq (Qophina) , meaning a large basket, from the Aramaic root Qopa To
carry. The other Greek word used for Basket is spuridav spuridav spuridav spuridav (Spuridas), from (spuriv spuriv spuriv spuriv) Spuris. Thayers Greek-
English Lexicon says this comes from the root Speiro- meaning to sow. That looks dubious, since sowing or scattering
has little to do with baskets. This word is also very similar to the Aramaic word used in The Peshitta Nydyrpoa-
Espridin, from Esprida. This comes from the Aramaic root Espira, meaning, Spherical. This emphasizes the shape
of the basket. The other emphasizes its function as a carrier. One will find many Greek words in the Greek NT listed as
Derivation unknown in the lexicons. It seems many of these are borrowed from Aramaic but unattributed as such.

anwyd-hrb (Bar-Jonah) is reproduced in all Greek mss. ,transliterated from the Aramaic letters into Greek letters:
bariwna bariwna bariwna bariwna. This is different from borrowed words, one language from another. This is very telling about the native language
and culture of the Jews of Palestine in the first century and of the source of the thousands of Greek mss. we have today.This
occurs throughout The Greek NT with many names, words and phrases.
In John 1:42 , the Greek reads: su klhyhs su klhyhs su klhyhs su klhyhsh khfav o ermhneuetai petrov h khfav o ermhneuetai petrov h khfav o ermhneuetai petrov h khfav o ermhneuetai petrov- -- - ( (( (You will be called Kephas, which is
translated Petros.) Petros is the Greek for Peter.Here the Greek writer of John tells the reader that he is translating
when he writes Petros and that Petros is not the original name of this apostle; it is the Aramaic Kephas. I reproduce
here part of the note I have for John 1:42 :
[ Here the Greek text declares that the name Petros is a translation of the Aramaic name Kaypha.Here in The Greek
NT, then, we find hard evidence, and in 160 other places where this Greek name occurs, that The Greek NT is translated
from Aramaic ! Naturally, the Peshitta has no similar translation from Greek to Aramaic, here or anywhere else. Repeat the
above statement several times and ponder it: The Greek text declares itself to be translated from Aramaic !]

arga rb (Bar agra) is an Aramaic idiom (idioms are colored purple in the text) meaning A Lunatic. The literal
wording means, Son of a rooftop, decribing an activity of praying to demons on the rooftop on the first and last days of the
month by those wishing to placate demons and avert any evil from their households.

Greek mss. a & B omit Ihsous - Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv (Jesus) . These are the basis for the modern Greek editions and most English
and other translations. Most Greek mss. have Iaysous - -- -Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv (Jesus). This Greek phenomenon of omission occurs in
half of the 176 Peshitta occurrences of the Name Yeshua ewsy ewsy ewsy ewsy (Jesus) among those mss. (a & B) and 45% of the same in
the Majority Text Greek mss. of The Gospel of Luke !

Gehenna is an Aramaic name which is transliterated into Greek letters in all the Greek mss. in Matthew,Mark and
Luke.It occurs 12 times in the Greek NT. Interestingly, Gehenna occurs 11 times in the Peshitta NT. In James 3:6 ,The
Greek has g gg g g gg ge ee e e ee ee ee e e ee en nn n n nn nn nn n n nn nh hh h h hh hv vv v v vv v -Gehenna, where The Peshitta has a ar rw wn nb b I In n f fi ir re e . .
Here are the Aramaic wordsby Gehenna and in fire : : a an nh hg gb b & & a ar rw wn nb b
In Estrangela script, they are: 0anhgb By Gehenna & Aaaaaaa 0rwnb In fire . If the Resh r were touching Alap - 0 - in the Aaaaaaa0rwnb
In fire of the Peshitta ms. , Resh r could look like Nun - n . The He h is similar to Waw w and Nun n to
Gimal g . A smudge or a bleary eye could easily transform 0anhgb into 0rwnb . Aramaic seems to account for the Greek
reading In Gehenna in James 3:6 as well. The Greek geennhv geennhv geennhv geennhv -Gehennacertainly cannot account for Aaaaaaa0rwnb -In fire in
all the Peshitta mss., if one hypothesizes a Greek original behind a Peshitta translation.

A Talent Kakra, is approx. 125 British pounds. As of this writing, 1 pound = $1.75 U.S. This debtor owed the
equivalent of $ 2.18 million U.S. dollars to his king ! Factoring in 2000 years of inflation would easily put this into the billions
of dollars ! One authority calculates one talent as 6000 days pay. Using a modern US average of 100 dollars as a days wage
means that by early 21
st
century American standards, this employee owed his king 6 billion dollars!

Denarii A denarius was roughly an average days wage, about 8 British pence, or 17.
* That- Mdm Mdm Mdm Mdm (Meddem) can mean , that ,something or anything.The text makes clear the fellow servant of this man
owed him 100 denarii, yet most Greek mss. have: apodov moi apodov moi apodov moi apodov moi ei ei ei ei ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv Pay me, if you owe anything, apparently
emphasizing the anything interpretation of the Aramaic word, Meddem.This is clearly an error on the Greek translators
part.The only Greek text that makes sense here is the Textus Receptus: apodov moi apodov moi apodov moi apodov moi o oo o ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv ti ofeileiv ( (( (Pay me that which you
owe) )) ), which is the text the KJV translators used. It is a late ms. and was probably corrected to make sense of the verse. The
Peshitta appears again to be the original and accounts for the Greek as its translation.

*Our Lord refers to the coming of The New World after His resurrection and glorification. The twelve disciples would
receive authority to reign with Him in Heaven while they served Him on earth. All things are new because He, The LORD of
Heaven and earth has died and ended all the old creation under sin and the curse;That was the judgment of the world (John
12:31-33). He has risen, raising all things from the oblivion of destruction and death into a new creation in The risen God (See
2 Cor. 5:14-17). Only a believer can see this truth, however. Instead of In The New World,the Greek mss. have en th en th en th en th
paliggenesia paliggenesia paliggenesia paliggenesia( (( (in the regeneration). God does not regenerate old things, He makes all things new:
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are
become new.
Re 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that
is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Verse one differs from The Majority Greek text in the name of BethPhage- most Greek mss. have bhysfagh bhysfagh bhysfagh bhysfagh-
BethSphage, while some Byzantine and (a,B) & TR have bhyfagh bhyfagh bhyfagh bhyfagh- -- - BethPhage, in agreement with The Peshitta.
However, the Vaticanus ms.(B) also has eiv eiv eiv eiv to orov twn elaiwn (unto the Mount of Olives), whereas the Majority text
has prov prov prov prov to orov twn elaiwn(toward the Mount of Olives). Finally, all Greek texts omit the personal pronoun in ,His
disciples . Thus it looks like The Peshitta, if it were a translation of Greek, translated The Critical Greek represented by
Vaticanus, in the first reading, then the Byzantine Majority Text in the next reading, and finally, no Greek ms. in the last
reading- all in one verse !

4

Eastern Peshitta mss.(including the famous Khabouris ms.) have All this happened... That is also the Majority
Greek reading & that of B (Vaticanus). Apparently most Western Peshitta mss. do not read that way, but as here.

The text here agrees with 4

cent. mss. (a,B)-The Critical Greek text.

6
(& did) wdbew (the disciples) adymlt (& went) wlzaw
(Yeshua) ewsy (them) Nwhl (had commanded *) dqpd (Just as) ankya

The Majority Greek text agrees better here; The Critical text has appointed, a derivative of the Aramaic passive
verb; but the active form is used here, so it looks like the Critical Greek text translator read his Aramaic grammar wrong here,
but nevertheless is witness to an Aramaic original.

(Who comes) atad (is He) wh (blessed) Kyrb (of David) dywdd (to the Son) hrbl
(in the highest) amwrmb (Oshanna) aneswa (of Jehovah *) ayrmd (in The Name) hmsb

ayrm Mar-Yah means Lord Jehovah or Lord Yahweh. The Greek does not distinguish this name from other
titles and the Greek Kuriov Kuriov Kuriov Kuriov - Kurios may simply mean Sir or Master. Thirty two times Jesus is named ayrm Mar-
Yah- LORD Jehovah in The Peshitta NT text ! The Greek N.T., of course, has no such references.
* Oshanna- aneswa is not Greek, it is Aramaic; even the Greek mss. have this Aramaic word in the text, indicating that the
people of Israel spoke Aramaic, not Greek. Oshanna means ,Save now !Here is Barnes NT Notes for this verse: The
word hosanna means, Save now, or, Save, I beseech thee. It is a Syriac (Aramaic) word, and was the form of
acclamation used among the Jews. It was probably used in the celebration of their great festivals. During those festivals they
sang the 115
th
, 116
th

th
psalms.

The Greek mss. all have proshlyon autw proshlyon autw proshlyon autw proshlyon autw -came to Him, where The Peshitta has They brought to Him. The
Aramaic verb brq Qareb can mean Approach or Bring. Think about it: The blind and the lame came to him ?

This quotation from Psalm 8:2 agrees with neither The Hebrew OT nor The LXX Greek OT, nor The Peshitta OT, nor The Greek
NT. It seems to follow a hybrid text similar to that of The Dead Sea Scrolls, which sometimes is similar to The LXX text and
other times like The Massoretic Hebrew text. Often, (especially in Hebrews frequent OT quotations), it follows The Peshitta
OT translation text, which has some unique readings.

This quote follows the Hebrew text of Deuteronomy 6:5 and then adds another phrase and from all your mind. No OT
text has these four stipulations as does The Peshitta NT in all three NT quotes of Deut. 6:5.The Peshitta OT text does use an
unusual word in its final phrase: Knynq hlk Nmw wmin kalah qninak (with all your faculties).Our Lord apparently

preferred that the all your mindcondition be included in our love to God. Almost all Greek mss. omit all your strength in
this verse , but include it in the parallel passages of Mark 12:30 and Luke 10:27 (However, The Critical Greek text also omits
with all your soul in Mark 12:33.

If one were to read The Massoretic notes of the Hebrew text of Psalm 110, one would find that the Massorete scribes changed
the Name of Yahweh(Jehovah) in 110:5 to Adonai(The Lord) ; this they did in 133 other places as well. But Ps. 110,
verse five would read : Jehovah at your right hand will strike through kings in the day of His wrath. The Peshitta OT has
the same reading. Our Lords quotation of verse one suggests the whole Psalm of seven verses. If Jehovah is at Gods right
hand in verse 5, then He must be the very same Jehovah at His right hand in verse 1 ! No Greek ms. indicates this Divine
Tetragrammaton Name (Yahweh) in verses 43-45. The Peshitta has it three times ! It also names Yeshua as Yahweh 32
times in the NT ! The Greek has no word for Yahweh, though the Greek translator might have substituted Kurios
Theos(Lord God) or , Theos (God) to indicate The Deity, since the Name (The Lord Jehovah) ayrm MarYah
is referenced 239 times in the NT quotations of OT scripture & etc. Actually, that probably happened only five or six times out
of 239 in The Greek NT. All other places simply have Kurios (Lord), which can refer to The Deity or to a mere man. The
Aramaic ayrm MarYah (The Lord Jehovah) never refers to anyone but The Deity .

The Critical Greek Text has akrasian akrasian akrasian akrasian akrasian (excess,lack of self control). The Majority Greek Text has
adikiav adikiav adikiav adikiav - adikiav (unrighteousness, iniquity) . Following are two Aramaic words parallel to the Greek word akrasian akrasian akrasian akrasian
akrasian (excess,lack of self control) in the Critical Greek NT text:
alwew, atgrw fwe (w , aFgrw , . The blue pair is in square Aramaic script; the red pair is
Estrangela script & the black is Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script. The second Aramaic word in each pair is wRegta(&
Lust). It appears that the Estrangela pair are most similar of the three. If the word fwe9w -wAwala had the second Waw
fwe9w (blue) pushed half through the Lamed l to its left , the Waw- Lamed pair lw would look like Tau t . An Ayin 9 could
easily be taken for a Gamal g gg g if it were extended a bit at the bottom by an inadvertent stroke or smudge downward, and the first
letter Waw w , if not fully formed in its bottom half of the downward curve stroke, could look like a Resh r . I performed these
processes on an original fwe(w -wAwala (& iniquity) and reproduce here the graphic result: . Compare the word
Fgr Regta (Lust). The only thing missing in this scenario is the initial conjunction w (Waw- &) , represented in
Greek by the word kai kai kai kai (kai-&) before akrasian. akrasian. akrasian. akrasian. These are so common however, that even when missing in Aramaic, are
supplied in translations as understood.

Thus The Peshittas Aramaic word fwe (w -wAwala (& iniquity) can account for both Greek readings, akrasian
akrasian (excess,lack of self control) & adikiav adikiav adikiav adikiav - adikiav (unrighteousness, iniquity) .No singular Greek text can
account for The Peshitta. The Greek akrasian akrasian akrasian akrasian (excess,lack of self control) would not give rise to fwe (-wAwala (&
iniquity).The Greek adikiav adikiav adikiav adikiav - adikiav (unrighteousness, iniquity) could do so, however, the agreement between the
distinct Greek texts and The Peshitta alternates so frequently and erratically , often within the same verse, that it is not feasible
that an Aramaean translator was translating Greek mss. into Aramaic, choosing a different Greek text several times within a
verse, and sometimes simply adding or changing readings without any Greek source ! Occams Razor would decide this
matter very easily: The data are much more easily accounted for by Peshitta Primacy than by Greek Primacy. Indeed, Greek
Primacy requires consistent and willful ignorance and neglect of the facts for its support, because it cannot account for the
facts. The facts support a Peshitta original NT !

ana ana -Ena Na almost always refers to Divine speech. It is unclear here that these false prophets will claim to be Divine,
though a comparison with Mark 13:6 shows they would say simply : ana anad (I AM) and would deceive many.That is a
claim to Deity.

* Garba can mean Leper or Pot. It can also mean, One who makes pots, even as Bsama in the next verse can mean
Ointment or Maker of ointment. I am grateful for Paul Younan pointing this out in his interlinear of Matthew. There can
be no doubt that Shimeon was not a leper with The Messiah in his house as a dinner guest. This is probably another case
where the Greek translator misconstrued the Aramaic original. All Greek texts have Leprou, from Lepros- A Leper.

The Majority Greek Text has This ointment might have been sold for much.
Ointment in Aramaic is axsm Meshakha- very similar to the first Aramaic word in the verse xksm
Meshkakh(Possible).
I conjecture that the Greek scribe saw xksm (Meshkakh-Possible) and reread it as axsm (Meshakha-Ointment)
the second time , translating it as Murov Murov Murov Murov Ointment. The Aramaic explains the Greek variant reading.
The Critical Greek agrees with the Peshitta here.

All but 3 Greek mss. have ieremiou tou profhtou ieremiou tou profhtou ieremiou tou profhtou ieremiou tou profhtou- Jeremiah the Prophet. Those three agree with The Peshitta in
reading The Prophet, however they are 6
th
to 9
th
century mss. There are no earlier Greek witnesses for this reading, making
it highly unlikely The Peshitta is a translation of the Greek in this place. Besides, Jeremiah is clearly a false reading. The
quotation in this verse is from Zechariah, not Jeremiah, which means the Greek is incorrect and The Peshitta reading is not,
since it does not name the prophet quoted.

The quotation of verses 9 & 10 in The Peshitta agrees not with The LXX (Greek) Version of Zechariah 11:12,13, but more
closely to The Hebrew version. The Greek NT agrees more closely with The LXX Version: They took & They gave
instead of the Hebrews-I took & I gave. Both The Peshitta NT and The Greek NT agree with the Hebrew versions The
Potter rather than The LXX versions -The furnace , found twice in Zechariah 11:13 . Generally The Greek NT agrees
better with The LXX than with The Hebrew Bible, and The Peshitta NT agrees better with The Hebrew Bible than with The
LXX. It appears that The Greek texts attribute the quotation to Jeremiah because Jeremiah 18:2 & 3 are the only references to
The Potters housein the entire LXX;the phrase is as close to Potters field as The LXX has, certainly better than the
furnace ! Those verses, however, have nothing to do with this prophecy to which Matthew referred.

mean it was translated from that text in verse 2, no Greek text in verse 9, & The Majority Text in v. 23 & 34 ?That would be
very unlikely. This pattern of agreement and disagreement with the Greek text types and with no Greek text at all within a
chapter or even a few verses continues throughout The Peshitta NT !

All Greek texts give a transliteration of the Aramaic of our Lords cry and then translate the words into Greek. The Peshitta
text has no Greek transliteration nor a translation of Greek into Aramaic. The major Greek texts also differ in their versions of
the verse: The Majority Greek has anebohsen anebohsen anebohsen anebohsen (cried aloud) while the Critical Greek has ebohsen ebohsen ebohsen ebohsen (cried);
The Majority Greek has h hh hli li li li h hh hli l li l li l li li ii ima sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani;
The Critical Greek has e ee el ll lw ww wi i i i e ee el ll lw ww wi l i l i l i le ee ema sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani;
The Textus Receptus has h hh hli li li li h hh hli l li l li l li la aa ama sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani ma sabacyani
All are obvious attempts to transliterate Aramaic which , according to The Peshitta, would be eil eil lemana eil eil lemana eil eil lemana eil eil lemana sabacyani. sabacyani. sabacyani. sabacyani.
O God, O God, Why have you forsaken Me ? The Greek versions may represent an attempt to reconstruct the cry in
transliterated Hebrew: Eli Eli lamah azabthani , as it stands in Psalms 22:1. If so, (and this looks quite likely) there was a
mixing of the Aramaic verb Shebaqthaniwith the Hebrew words, Eli (My God) and lamah (Why ?).
All Greek texts have the following:
tout estin tout estin tout estin tout estin yee mou yee mou ina ti me egkatelipev yee mou yee mou ina ti me egkatelipev yee mou yee mou ina ti me egkatelipev yee mou yee mou ina ti me egkatelipev ( (( (This is, My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me ?) The
transliterated Semitic words are connected to a Greek translation of the same by the words tout estin tout estin tout estin tout estin This is. Here is
a declaration that the original words of our Lord were not Greek, but Hebrew or Aramaic (Since the main verb is Aramaic, I
shall assume Aramaic is intended and the scribe involved resorted to another Aramaic source , being unfamiliar with the
Palestinian Aramaic word for God- lya ,& substituted the more familiar yla (My God) along with the Hebrew (or Aramaic)
hml as found in Psalm 22:1).
Here is an ancient Targum (Aramaic translation of the Hebrew) of Psalm 22:1-
ylym ynqrwp Nm qyxr yntqbs hm lwjm yhla yla
You can see that yla is an Aramaic form as well as Hebrew, so the Greek hli hli hli hli could represent Aramaic. The Greek letters for
yla or yhla would be the same (hli hli hli hli or eli eli eli eli), since Greek has no letter to represent the Aramaic letter h Het. elwi elwi elwi elwi- -- - (The
Critical Greek reading), could also be an attempt to render yhla, substituting an w ww w for an Aramaic h Het. hml-
Lamah (lama lama lama lama in Greek) is also Biblical Aramaic, meaning Why ?; so it looks as if the Greek Eli,Eli, lama
sabachthani could be from an Aramaic Targum of the Hebrew Psalm 22:1.This seems the most likely explanation for the
Greek readings.

The Targum would have looked like this: ylym ynqrwp Nm qyxr yntqbs hml yhla yhla
The blue is the quoted section found in Matthew.The Peshitta of Mark 15:34 has : yntqbs anml yhla yhla as the Syriac
interpretation of the Galilean Aramaic of our Lord, which is also identical to The Peshitta OT Version of Psalm 22:1. The
exact quote by Mark is exactly the same as Matthews: yntqbs anml lya lya
lya & yhla are both direct address forms of Alaha (God) in different dialects, so there is no difference in meaning between
them. Matthew wrote to the Jews of Israel and Mark to the Syrians and other Aramaic speaking peoples outside Israel in Asia
Minor, hence the translation of the cry from the cross into the Syrian dialect. Most of the written words of different dialects
agree, whereas the pronunciations will vary somewhat. That is why Mark translates from one dialect to another only twice !
The Greek NT usually quotes from an OT source when recording OT quotations, usually from the Greek LXX. Here, since the
writer wants to quote our Lords spoken words, he resorts to an Aramaic Targum of Psalm 22 instead of The Peshitta text of
Matthew 27:46, as the quote is practically identical to Psalm 22:1.
Neither Matthews nor Marks Peshitta text makes sense as a transliteration or translation of the Greek readings. Why would
both writers use lya lya , an uncommon form of Alaha, if the original were hli hli hli hli or elwi elwi elwi elwi ? This is not to be expected either as
a transliteration or translation of hli hli hli hli or elwi. elwi. elwi. elwi. Why does Mark have two dialects of Aramaic in his text, one Palestinian and
the other Syrian, if he is translating from Greek ? That makes no sense whatsoever.
The Peshitta text certainly did not come from any Greek transliteration reading ! The facts as they are beg the question,
Why does the Greek give an Aramaic transliteration and then a Greek translation if the original words were Greek ? If the
original words were not Greek, why would the Gospels be composed in a Greek translation, (for this is most certainly
declared to be a translation) ? Here and other places make clear that our Lord and His people of Israel spoke Aramaic. Why
in the name of Sam Hill would the original Gospels be written in Greek, which would be only a translation of everything that
was said and done ? Again, the Aramaic can very easily make sense of the Greek , but the Greek cannot explain the Aramaic
of the Peshitta.
The Greek in Matthew has: peri de thn enathn wran anebohsen o ihsouv fwnh megalh

Aramaic sentence = Greek translation ,legwn hli hli lima sabacyani hli hli lima sabacyani hli hli lima sabacyani hli hli lima sabacyani tout estin tout estin tout estin tout estin yee mou yee mou ina ti me yee mou yee mou ina ti me yee mou yee mou ina ti me yee mou yee mou ina ti me
egkatelipev. egkatelipev. egkatelipev. egkatelipev.
Is not this a declaration of an Aramaic original and a Greek translation ? The Greek NT has 7 such transliterations with
declared translations of Aramaic into Greek whereas the Peshitta has no example of transliteration and translation of Greek
into Aramaic. If Greek were the original and Aramaic the translation, how can these things be ?
Methinks Greek primacists are in denial , which is somewhere in Egypt, I think (Alexandria ?).

The Critical Greek Text of Westcott & Hort (a,B,C,L) have added: allov de labwn logchn enuxen autou thn pleuran kai
exhlyen udwr kai aima. Another took a lance and pierced His side, and water and blood came out. This would mean
that our Lord was killed with a spear, which is ridiculous. He had said, No man takes My life; I lay it down of My own
will. The separation of the blood into red cells and clear serum takes places only after death.But according to the next verse,
our Lord was still alive ! This is a misplaced quote from John 19:34 which refers to what occurred after His death. So much for
the reliability of (a,B,C,L) the oldest and best manuscripts !

The Critical Greek text omits Lord altogether; The Majority Greek has it, although The Peshitta has a much more
interesting reading: Nrm Maran (Our Lord). The Peshitta in verse 5 says the Angel of Jehovah (The LORD) in v. 6 calls
Yeshua Jesus Our Lord, thus acknowledging Yeshua as Jehovah, his Lord, the Lord of men and angels.

The Majority Greek text begins v. 9:wv de wv de wv de wv de eporeuonto apaggeilai toiv mayhtaiv autou eporeuonto apaggeilai toiv mayhtaiv autou eporeuonto apaggeilai toiv mayhtaiv autou eporeuonto apaggeilai toiv mayhtaiv autou And as they went to tell his
disciples. The Critical Greek text agrees with The Peshitta here, as does The Latin Vulgate. The Majority Greek reading looks
like it is based on a repeat reading of the end of v. 8, probably from the Aramaic, translating Njhrw (& they ran) as Nylza
(they went) or wqpnw (& they went forth) the latter is more likely, and the Greek eporeuonto eporeuonto eporeuonto eporeuonto actually does twice
parallel qpn in The NT .

The major Greek texts and mss. lack As My Father has sent Me, so I send you.There is at least one Western Greek ms. with the
sentence, as well as The Diatesseron of Tatian.Rarely does The Peshitta contain a passage that is not found in any major Greek
text, which leads me to believe there was only one Greek translation of the Aramaic original and that either the Peshitta ms.
used lacked this sentence in v. 18 or the Greek scribe simply missed it. It is surprising that later Greek revisers never caught
this.

M -The Critical Greek has no Amen, whereas the Majority Greek does.
In Matthew 28 alone , The Peshitta agrees with a major variant of the Majority Greek text in verse 2, then a major variant
of The Critical Greek text in v. 9, neither Greek text in v. 18 with a sentence lacking in all major Greek texts, and then again
with the Majority Greek text in verse 20. This validates the previous observation in Matthew that The Peshitta follows no known
Greek text with any consistency. It does generally agree with The Majority Byzantine Greek text type best, but departs from it
with the Critical Greek perhaps 25% of the times those two Greek types differ, and it differs significantly from all Greek
readings about as often as it agrees with both major Greek text types combined ! At the same time , The Peshitta readings can
explain a host of Greek variants of both the major text types , whereas the Greek as we know it cannot account for the Peshitta
text and the relatively extremely small number of variants found among its 350 manuscripts.
While it is true that any particular Greek ms. will exhibit idiosyncratic readings , even compared to others of the same text type,
the Peshitta will exhibit essentially the same readings and departures from Greek mss. regardless the Peshitta manuscript
under scrutiny. Practically any Peshitta manuscript will fairly represent the Peshitta family of manuscripts as a whole and
produce the same statistics as mentioned above for The Peshitta text in general. Such a claim cannot be made for any Greek ms.
My analysis of the variations among Greek mss. compared to those among Peshitta mss. shows that there are approximately 70
times the number of variants among Textus Receptus Greek mss. (and they have the highest ratio of agreement among Greek
NT mss.) as among Peshitta NT mss. ! When considering the Critical Greek mss. in their variations from each other and the
Majority Greek text (Byzantine) the number jumps by a factor of ten. Two of those mss. have at least 700 times the number of
variant readings between them as found among two typical Peshitta mss. !

And Yeshua said to them , Are the members of the bridal party able to fast while the groom is with them ? No !
* The Greek texts have a longer ending: As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
The two major Greek text types differ in word order, and the clause is a redundant and verbose (10 Greek words) Greek
elaboration on the Aramaic word for No (La- al) ! If brevity be the soul of wit, the Greek version is much too long
winded here to be witty. The Peshitta displays superior wit to the supposed inspired original Greek ! The Greek translator was
too smart by half; Our Lord said, Let your word beyes ,yes and no ,no; whatever is more than these comes of evil.-
Matthew 5:37 & see also James 5:12.

(Kaypha) apak (the name) ams (Shimeon) Nwemsl (& He named) ymsw

Kaypha does not come from Greek; it is Aramaic; The Greek has Petros, which in the Greek mss. of John 1:42 is explained as the
translation from the Aramaic Kaypha into Greek . If Jesus had called Shimeon Peter & the Aramaic were a translation of
a Greek original, as is commonly supposed, the Aramaic could have easily transliterated Petros o ow wr rj jp p and then included
a translation in Aramaic (Kaypha) apak. Instead we have the reverse.

(of thunder *) amer (sons *) ynb (which is) yhwtyad

* Greek has Boanerges, clearly another transliteration of the Aramaic. Greek lexicons plainly state this is an Aramaic name.
Sons of thunder specifies the meaning of Bnai Ragshi, which could mean Sons of rage, Sons of tumult, Sons of
feeling or Sons of thunder , depending on the dialect of Aramaic and context.

(Qannia -The Jealous) aynnq (& Shimeon) Nwemsw

Bar-Tolmay , like so many other names with the Bar prefix, (meaning son of) is plainly Aramaic. The Greek NT
has over 50 of these Aramaic Bar names transliterated throughout the Gospels ,Acts and the epistles of Paul. This indicates
again that the NT books were written about Aramaic speaking people with Aramaic names and culture. A Greek speaking
people would have primarily Greek names.

And when they had crossed to the other side, they came to the land of Genesar.
Three Greek versions follow:
(WH) kai diaperasantev epi thn ghn hlyon eiv gennhsaret kai proswrmisyhsan
And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
(BYZ) kai diaperasantev hlyon epi thn ghn gennhsaret kai proswrmisyhsan
And when they had crossed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
(DSS) kai kai kai kai t tt tiaperasantev iaperasantev iaperasantev iaperasantev hlyon eiv gennhsaret hlyon eiv gennhsaret hlyon eiv gennhsaret hlyon eiv gennhsaret kai proswrmisyhsan kai proswrmisyhsan kai proswrmisyhsan kai proswrmisyhsan
And when they had crossed over, they came unto Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

What is particularly interesting is the third Greek version; it is called 7Q5, and was found in Cave 7 with
other Dead Sea scrolls in Israel. It is dated approx. AD 50. It and the two other versions represent each a valid translation
of the Peshitta text, except for the last part & they drew to the shore, which is not found in The Peshitta. The word land, or
city is sometimes not found in Greek where it is found in The Peshitta in conjunction with its name. The same phenomenon
occurs in the LXX Greek translation of the OT , where the Hebrew word for Land- eretz occurs; The Greek drops it about
7% of the time. The Westcott and Hort text apparently drops the word four times of the twenty times it occurs in a place name in
the NT. The Peshitta generally agrees more with the majority Byzantine text, but not infrequently sides with the Critical
editions. It does not consistently follow any Greek text type , and frequently disagrees with all Greek texts. At the same time, it
can usually be shown that the Greek versions are derived as translations from the Aramaic of The Peshitta.
7Q5 seems to have set a precedent for the other Greek texts. It looks as if it read The Peshitta with a different word order, the third
,Ebra can mean ,the other side,the crossing, the region,to pass over, to draw near, to pass away and fifth (Area- land,
earth,ground,soil-probably the cognate for the English, Area) words placed at the end of the sentence. They could easily be
interpreted as drew to the shore. These are the very two words that seem missing in the text at first; the third (Ebra -
other side) seems at first to have been missing in all the Greek texts;the fifth, (Erea- land) seemed missing in 7Q5 and
displaced in the other two.
Quite often, we see an apparent change in word order in various Greek versions as compared to The Peshitta. Nevertheless, 7Q5
looks like the first Greek exemplar, on which the other Greek texts built, following the interpretation- proswrmisyhsan proswrmisyhsan proswrmisyhsan proswrmisyhsan - -- -
drew to the shore, , , , and yet adding epi thn ghn epi thn ghn epi thn ghn epi thn ghn (to the land) before Gennesaret , according to The Peshitta.
The discovery of 7Q5, (See Thiedes The Dead Sea Scrolls, copyright 2000), means that the NT was translated very early into
Greek, probably before AD 50. Please see my notes on John and articles on Mark and Acts, discussing this very matter in depth

The Greek texts exhibit some interpretation in verse two: having defiled, that is unwashed hands. The Critical Greek text of
Westcott and Hort has two words not found in the Majority Greek text, another verb is different in form from the majority texts
participle , and the last verb, ememqanto (emempsanto they found fault), is missing completely, making the whole verse
a dangling modifier , and not a sentence at all in Greek ! If one were to argue that W&H are correct, then one must argue for a
sentence (v.2-v.5) four verses long in Mark, which is highly unlikely, since his style is very terse and plain with simple
sentences. The Peshitta has each verse as a complete sentence.

The different Greek texts have baptize Majority text & ,wash- Vaticanus and Sinaiticus (4
th
cent.).The Aramaic
word Nydme can mean baptize, wash or bathe. Might this account for the Greek variants ? If this were the only such
place where this type of inter-language correlation occurs between Aramaic & Greek, perhaps not, but this is not the only
place. There are hundreds such occurrences in The NT !

Here again, the Greek texts display variation, as in verse 2. The Majority Greek text has aniptoiv cersin aniptoiv cersin aniptoiv cersin aniptoiv cersin- unwashed hands;
Westcott & Horts text has koinaiv cersin koinaiv cersin koinaiv cersin koinaiv cersin defiled hands.Verse 2 in the Greek texts has both , seemingly in an attempt
to interpret it correctly ! Unwashed is the Peshittas meaning; Defiled is the religious interpretation the Pharisees put on
Unwashed. The Greek texts seem to interpret various Aramaic words; another word for interpret is the Greek word
hermayneuo- (i.e., translate).The Greek NT uses that very word six times with literal Aramaic phrases and words, which
it then hermayneuos into Greek !

Three very old (5
th
-6
th
cent.) Greek mss. agree with The Peshitta reading that you may establish your traditions. The other Greek
mss. have that you may keep your traditions.

The Aramaic root word Qamhas both meanings- keep and be established. Can it be that all of them got their readings from
The Peshittas Aramaic ?

* ** * xtpta Ethpathakh , Be opened, is transliterated in all Greek mss. and then translated into Greek. This is just another of
many such cases in all known Greek mss.of the Gospels and Acts.The Peshitta has no cases of transliterating Greek phrases
with a translation following.

What is difficult to account for is that there are any translations of Aramaic into Greek accompanying a transliterated Aramaic
word or phrase, assuming the Greek to be the original.
There are many more transliterations which are simply left alone; no translation follows. Raca,Mammon, Corban,
Maranatha, Gehenna,etc.
The inclusion of those contained in The Greek beg the question : Where is the original Aramaic?
The many other tell-tale Aramaic words- over two hundred total occurrences in the Greek NT, suggest Aramaic sources which
occasionally posed a challenge to a translator, hence the puzzling transliterations : Beelzebub ,Belial , Raca,
Maranatha, Mammon, Corban, all of which are unexplained and untranslated. They are not Greek words. They are all
Aramaic Belial is Hebrew. So also for the Hellenism Satanas , from the Aramaic, Satana. The LXX always translates
The Hebrew Ha Satan with the Greek Diabolos, except in 1 Kings 11:14, where it transliterates Satan as Satan(not
Satana) twice. The Greek NT translates the Aramaic Satana with the Greek Diabolos about half the time, and the other
half uses the Aramaic word Satana in Greek letters. The Aramaic Satanaoccurs 36 times in the Majority Greek text in
twelve books from Matthew to Revelation !

The literalist insists Gehenna is Hell with a literal worm and a literal fire , yet he keeps both eyes, both hands and both feet, because
they are meant figuratively ! He believes that it is fanaticism to dismember oneself, as Origen did, for the kingdom of God. If
taking hands and feet literally here is madness, what is it to take Hell fire and worms literally ? The former makes a man a self
mutilator; the latter makes God a mass butcher and monster whose Final Solution would make Adolph Hitler and Joseph
Stalin look like girl scouts !
Obviously, then, the passage is meant to be spiritually interpreted in its entirety. We cannot make half figurative and the other
literal. If it were wicked to chop off hands, it would be far worse to cast the whole person into a fire for any length of time.
What are people thinking ? Apparently they are not, which is why many of our Lords words are misunderstood and He is
blasphemed.
Which of the disciples mutilated his own body and instructed others to do so ? If they did not do and teach this as a literal practice,
they must have understood the passage in a different way. And the word Gehenna is not even found in the epistles or
Revelation, only in The Gospels of Matthew , Mark and Luke. James in the Greek has it once in error, translating Nohrain
Aramaic as Gehenna,
which the Greek says ignites the tongue of man ! Hardly a literal sense, at that!
Gehenna was a place in Israel where garbage was always burning and where criminals bodies were thrown. Alas, the fires of
Gehenna are no more, but the Lord was teaching us to think about where we are heading in a spiritual sense. Hell has more
to do with what is in you than what you are in.

And, Jesus said to him, See, your faith has saved you , and at once it appeared to him, and he departed on the road.
The Greek texts have, Go, your faith has saved you, . Go is upage upage upage upage in Greek. Seeis ide ide ide ide.
In Aramaic, the word , Go, is usually lz (masculine) or lzd (with Dalet proclitic); See is yzx.The two Greek
words are not to be easily confused, so if The Peshitta were a translation of Greek, Go - upage upage upage upage would not be mistaken as
See- ide ide ide ide. However, See is yzxcould very easily be taken as Go - lzd, especially considering the early script of
the first century: See- yzxis yzx Go-lzd is lzd
I put these two together here for easy comparison of a Dead Sea Scroll (Isaiah) script from circa 100 B.C. :
yzx zx zx zx See
l ll lz zz zd dd d-Go.

Certainly these would be far more easily confused than ide ide ide ide & upage upage upage upage .Considering other Greek variants in this passage
and even in this one verse, I would hazard a guess that the original Greek translator was getting pretty bleary eyed at this point
in his translation work.

* Zerea Seed, in the Semitic cultures and in this context would refer to male offspring, as a son would bear the fathers
name and pass it on to his son, etc.. Gods promise of a seed to Abraham, for instance, referred necessarily to a son , not a
daughter. The same applies to to seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15. That is a prophecy of a woman bearing a male Savior -
Seed without a human father involved.

Our Lord speaks of past resurrections, not future. Resurrection is not reserved for a future dispensation. The next two verses make
this clear. To make this refer to a future dispensation is to ignore and distort the tense of the verb Qamu; It is definitely a
perfect tense, indicating past action. The Greek texts have an aorist subjunctive verb may arise,very much like a future
tense, while The Peshitta has Qamu-they arose past tense.

* Garba can mean Leper or Pot. It can also mean, One who makes pots, even as Bsama in this verse can mean
Ointment or Maker of ointment. There can be no doubt that Shimeon was not a leper with The Messiah in his house as a
dinner guest. This is probably another case where the Greek translator misconstrued the Aramaic original. All Greek texts have
Leprou, from Lepros- A Leper.

The Gospel According To Luke

(From The original Peshitta in Aramaic, the language of Jesus)
To read the translation, read the parentheses with blue English words from rightmost parentheses first ,then left of that
, etc..Each Aramaic word is followed by its English equivalent.

1 Chapter
Verse 1
5 4 3 2 1
(an account) atyest (to write) Nwbtknd (were willing) wbu (many) aaygod (because) ljm
9 8 7 6
(are persuaded) Nyopm (of which we) Nnxd (those) Nylya (of the events) anrewod

Luke 1:1 has nine Aramaic words. In this first verse ,I have numbered the English translation next to each Aramaic word in the
proper reading order. Here is the English translation as it should be read from the interlinear:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9
(Because) (many) (were willing) (to write) (an account) (of the events) (those) (of which we) (are persuaded).

will be exceptions due to different word order in Aramaic. Try the next verse. Only the word those seems out of order in
English in verse two. Put that word after the things, and the whole verse will read correctly.

2
(who from) Nmd (those) Nwnh (to us) Nl (delivered) wmlsad (the things) Mdm (like) Kya
(The Word) atlmd (of) hlyd (& servants) ansmsmw (eyewitnesses) ayzx (were) wwh (the first) Mydq

A little practice will make reading the interlinear easier and very rewarding. You are reading a word for word rendering from the
original language and text of the Gospels. It is worth the effort to obtain such unique knowledge.Try the next verse;it is more
straightforward than verse 2.

The Word is atlm Miltha . This is the term John uses in his Gospel to designate Yeshua Meshikha (Jesus The
Messiah).That Luke refers to Him is fairly evident, as he refers to The eyewitnesses and servants of The Word. The spoken
or written word does not have eyewitnesses and servants. Also the Aramaic word hlyd Dilah (of His) adds personal
possession to the relationship of eyewitnesses and servants with the Word. They belong to Him. This would be out of place
with respect to the spoken or written word.

(I had) tywh (approached) byrqd (because) ljm (to me) yl (also) Pa (He appeared) yzxta
(in order) hokjb (thing) Mdm (that every) lkd (all things) Nwhlkl (carefully) tyapyuy
(Theophila) alypwat (excellent) axyun (to you) Kl (I should write) bwtka

yzxta He appeared is the most natural meaning of Ethkhazay and would refer to the previous word -atlmd
of the Word. Luke is saying that The Lord Yeshua The Messiah had appeared to him and had authorized and directed his
writing of this Gospel. Why would it be received otherwise ? If Luke merely thought it good to write , why would the
churches have put it on a par with the inspired Gospels, Matthew,Mark and Luke ? He would have been merely rehashing
The That is no recommendation worthy of an inspired Gospel of . second hand information and serving warmed up leftovers

says 2 Verse . s meaning , to whom Luke wrote, would have thrown it in the trash if that were Luke phila Theo . New Testament
the other gospels were written by eyewitnesses. Verse three says Luke was also an eyewitness of The Messiah. If he were
not, then he would be disqualified to write a gospel. It would seem that Western churches , in their misunderstanding of Lukes
introduction, have allowed scholarship to supplant Divine inspiration as its authority. This has subtly and slowly supplanted the
Spiritual with the intellectual, which Luke the Physician has come to represent. He was not writing a literary composition
Which things we also 13 : 2 Co 1 : , just as every other God inspired writer of scripture wrote here; he was writing from God
; and we compare spirituals s wisdom, but in the teaching of The Spirit of man not in the teaching of the words speak;
For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God 21 : 1 Pe 2 . with spirituals
. spoke, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit
Would an inspired writer say, I thought I would write a Gospel account because many others were writing accounts like those
the apostles were writing ? That would be the height of presumption. Would he then suppose that he would improve on the
, to perfect understanding of all things from the very first also, having had It seemed good to me - inspired accounts ?
write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus This is the King James translation, which demonstrates here the
presumptive attitude attributed to Luke. This is a very poor translation of the Greek of verse 3, but all translations get it wrong
in the first word of the verse, which is the most critical: It seemed good.That is because the Greek has the verb edoxen edoxen edoxen edoxen
from dokeo-(to seem). The Aramaic verb Ethkhazay -(He appeared) yzxta could mean seemed, but its usual
meaning is appeared or was seen. This passive form of the Aramaic yzx- Khaza (to see) occurs 29 times in the
Peshitta NT. 18 times Murdock translates it appeared, 7 times- seen , three times received sight and once (incorrectly,
in my opinion)- seemed.

The Targum of Jonathan has 21 occurrences of the passive verb Ethkhazay and Ethkhaza in former and latter Prophets ;
none has the meaning seemed, or it was fit, proper. It would appear or seem (pun intended) that the latter meaning
is a rare one. In Luke 1:3, it also contradicts the intention of Luke to employ that meaning.
If I am right about Luke 1:3, Lukes Gospel was probably written after Johns Gospel, since Luke refers to The Word as He , a
Person of Whom the Apostles are eyewitnesses and servants. He also appeared to Luke.This refers plainly to John 1:1&
14. Luke would probably be the last of the four Gospels written, not John.

(by these things) Nyhl (of which you have been instructed) tdmlttad

Verse 4 confirms what I have written for verse three. If Luke were an eyewitness of The LORD Yeshua and His words and deeds,
then he could confirm the Gospel accounts as true; if not, all the research and talent in the world would be useless toward
composing an accurate account of The Messiah, as the information required exceeds the capacity of man to secure on his own.
Only Divine revelation can provide the Truth of Him Whose Name is The Truth, The Way, The Life, apart from Whom,
no one can approach to The Eternal Father.

(universe *) amle (to the entire) hlkl (which will be) awhtd

amle -EAlma, can refer to all creation- The heavens and the earth, though sometimes just the earth or the people in it.
Mlwe , like its Hebrew cognate, Alma E amle . de Heaven and Sheol and all created beings of all time It can inclu
Eternity The word for . Eternity all the components of the universe, and even - refers to time , space and matter Owlam
is also amle EAlma. It truly signifies all that exists, in its proper sense.
The Greek mss. all have panti tw panti tw panti tw panti tw law law law law all the people. People in Aramaic is ame; Comparing amle & ame makes it
easy to see that if amle (Universe,World) were to lose its second letter- l , it becomes ame (People,Nation).The Greek for
World is Kosmov Kosmov Kosmov Kosmov- -- - Kosmos or oikoumenh oikoumenh oikoumenh oikoumenh oikoumenay (inhabited places). law law law law (People) could hardly be mistaken for
kosmw kosmw kosmw kosmw (World) , , , , assuming hypothetically an Aramaean were translating Greek to Aramaic. However, it is possible that such
an Aramaean scribe might intend to write ame and add a Lamed, writing amle,but such an error would be less likely to
occur, since it would involve an intention to write ame (people) and actually writing another word amle (world) by
adding a letter, which would be an error of the hand rather than the eye. He would have been thinking People and writing
miswrite than to ame as amle the word misread It is much easier to . The reverse scenario is a much more likely one . World
ame as amle. Again, the Peshitta reading can more easily account for the Greek reading than vice versa.
Mark,Paul and John all wrote of the redemption of the whole creation:See Romans 8:21-23;Mark 16:15,Rev. 5:13.
Two similar and more compelling examples follow:
1 Timothy 6:19
19 (MUR) and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life.

Old Dead Sea Scroll script
The Peshitta in 1 Tim. 6:19 ends with aryrs ayx (True Life).
The Byzantine Greek text has aiwniou aiwniou aiwniou aiwniou zwhv (Eternal Life) .

The Critical Greek (Vaticanus) has ontwv ontwv ontwv ontwv zwhv (Really Life)
1. ,= aryrs = True
2. ,= akyrs = Remaining
Is it likely The Byzantine Greek translator saw
in old Aramaic characters and interpreted it as ?
If so, then aiwniou aiwniou aiwniou aiwniou (eternal) would approximate -Remaining.
The Critical Greek would be closer to the original here, following True with ontwv ontwv ontwv ontwv- -- - Really.

Dictionary has:

So the Greek mss. have two different readings, both in agreement with the Aramaic
word amle , which can mean ages, eternity, nations or world.
It is stretching credulity beyond the breaking point to believe The Peshitta NT is a translation of The Greek NT, given the
fact that so many Greek variations exist in The Greek NT that agree with different derivations of Aramaic words, which just
so happen to be used at the parallel grammatical places of those readings in The Peshitta NT, and given that The Peshitta
has practically no variant readings. If The Greek is the original, How can these things be ? .

This is one of the most amazing of statements in the Gospels, and probably the first unequivocal revelation of the Deity of Yeshua
Meshikha. (axysm ayrm -Marya Meshikha means Yahweh The Messiah). I have translated Marya as Jehovah in
most places, since it is more familiar than Yahweh.There are disputes about the Hebrew pronunciation, but Jehovah still
conveys the sense of YHWH, the Hebrew tetragrammaton (4 letter Name) of The LORD God of Israel and all creation.

(of Trakona) anwkrjd (& in the region) artabw
(of Abilina) anylybad (Tetrarch) ayeybr-asr (& Lusania) aynowlw

* Tetrarch is found three times in this verse . The Aramaic term here is two words ayeybr asr Rasha Rbiaya , meaning
Ruler of a fourth. A tetrarch ruled a fourth of a country (give or take a little). Four other times another Aramaic word -
akrrjj -Tetrarka occurs in The NT. It looks like a loan word from the Greek which had been incorporated into Aramaic.
There are some loan words in practically every language borrowed from neighboring or conquering countries . The Greek of
Alexander The Great was influential even with the Jews of Israel, which never adopted Greek as a national language. What is
interesting about verse three is that the Greek texts also have a slightly different form for Tetrarchthan that used elsewhere
in the NT ; it is a verb form, whereas elsewhere a noun is used. It looks like that may be explained on the basis of the Aramaic
of The Peshitta, as the Greek verb form occurs nowhere else in The NT but where these three occur in Luke 3:1 the same
applies to the Aramaic word form used here.The Aramaic form used here is a noun, however.It is understandable that a Greek
translator could construe When Ruler of a fourth as When he was Ruler of a fourth , since the Aramaic lacks a verb and
uses dk -Kad When, before the term, which The Greek NT normally mirrors with a participle, which is exactly what the
Greek word thrice used here is : tetrarcountov tetrarcountov tetrarcountov tetrarcountov -(Tetrarchountos) . The Peshitta has no verb at all here, which is not
unusual for Aramaic, but if it were a translation of the Greek , it would most likely include at least a verb of being .Essentially,
the Greek looks like a simplification of The two word Aramaic term, very much like verse 14, where the Aramaic term-
ayjrjoa yxlp Plakhay Estratia(Military workers) is paralleled by the one Greek word strateuomenoi strateuomenoi strateuomenoi strateuomenoi-
strateuomenoi, another Greek participle meaning, to go to war ,to go on a military expedition, to be a soldier .

Yoseph Bar Heli marks this as Josephs genealogy, not Marys. Marys name is not here; Joseph Bar Heli is. All
argument defending this as Marys genealogy is mere sophistry.The Aramaic is even more definite than the Greek, since the
Aramaic uses the word Bar Son of , 76 times. The Greek uses the words Son of-uiov tou uiov tou uiov tou uiov tou- -- -( (( (huios tou) ) ) ) only once !
75 times it has tou of. That is less precise and leaves much more room for mischief in interpretation. The English
n so If . The Diaglot NT as also does Emphasized Bible , as does Rotherham in his of translations of the Greek should have
of is used, son should be in italics, as the Greek tou is simply a definite article the in the genitive case- usually
translated of.

This genealogy is Josephs, the husband of Mary. Joseph was a descendant of David, as was Mary. The genealogy of Mary is
given in Matthew 1:1-16. The two are definitely not the same.
Joseph descended from Davids son,Nathan. Mary descended from Solomon, son of David.
Luke 3:23 (MUR) And Jesus was about thirty years old. And he was accounted the son of Joseph, the son of Heli.

Blue Aramaic words are Yoseph Bar Heli.
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of
Heli.

Blue Greek words are, Joseph of Heli. This form is used throughout the Greek genealogy to indicate sonship. If Joseph
were not descended from Heli, they would not both be in the genealogy like this. The loose Greek construction is construed by
some to refer to Jesus, not Joseph, as descended from Heli. Others have it to mean Jesus, accounted son of Joseph, who was
son-in law to Heli. Neither of these is a natural reading of the Greek; they are attempts to reshape this genealogy into Marys
instead of Josephs. To take the Greek phrase,(Name tou Name), which occurs 76 times in the Greek text, as Joseph son in
law to Heli, and then reinterpret it 75 times more as son is stretching credulity to its limits. It is playing too fast and loose
with language and logic to be credible.
The Aramaic reading is much more precise and definite: Joseph Bar Heli, Bar Matthat,
Josephs name is in it, therefore it belongs to him. If it were Marys , her name would be in the genealogy. It is not. Her
name is in Matthew 1:16. That is her genealogy.
The genealogy is Josephs line , so dont expect it to match Matthews.
The Greek of Luke, which omits the word for son (uiov uiov uiov uiov ) 75 times (Aramaic has Bar 76 times) , instead uses the genitive
article tou (tou tou tou tou ) 75 times between each name. The genitive is usually translated of ..:Jacob of Isaac of Abraham of
Terahetc..

That is a strange construction for a genealogy of The Messiah. One would expect precision in such a case. The Greek is
imprecise, both in grammar and in its spelling of Hebrew and Aramaic names. We should expect a Semitic genealogy for all
those Semitic names, such as would have been kept in the temple at Jerusalem and at the synagogues.


In The Peshitta, we have such a genealogy, fit for a King.Even the numbers of its words and letters point to a Divine author.
Josephs genealogy in Luke traces back to Adam- 77 generations to The Messiah !
I defy anyone to show that the Peshittas Hebrew & Aramaic names in Lukes genealogy came from the Greek N.T. ! The
Greek names are almost identical to The same names in the LXX version, which, of course , is a translation of the Hebrew
Old Testament. The Peshitta genealogy as likely came from the Greek NT as The Hebrew O.T. genealogies were translated
from The LXX !
Of the total 77, there are 21 names spelled differently in the two major Greek texts (Byzantine and Westcott & Hort Critical).
Practically all of these may be explained as different transliterations and interpretations of the Aramaic letters in The Peshitta.
The 12 Names in red are those in The Peshitta NT which differ from Hebrew spelling and agree with The Peshitta Old
Testament spelling of those names. These are practically all the names that differ in the two languages , Hebrew and Aramaic,
for this genealogy. This indicates that Luke relied on The Peshitta Old Testament or an Aramaic Targum of The Old Testament
for his genealogy.All the other names found in The O.T. are the same in both Hebrew and Aramaic.
The Greek readings also indicate that The LXX Greek version was the source for Greek spellings of names in this
genealogy.This is apparent by the sometimes patent mis-spellings of Hebrew names in the Greek text which are shared by The
LXX Version (Phalek for Peleg, for instance; others are Ragaufor Reu & Serouck for Serug ). There was
also some revision of the Greek , apparently using The Peshitta as a reference, some time later.
If The Peshitta NT is the original from which The Greek NT was translated (and I think I have pretty well established that it is)
and The genealogies of Matthew and Luke in The Peshitta refer to The Peshitta OT in listing those names, and elsewhere (and
that is also fairly easily demonstrated), then The Peshitta Old Testament must be a document at least 2000 years old and was in
circulation before A.D. 50. As such, it is an invaluable witness to the text of The Hebrew Old Testament in the first century A.D.
and earlier.

Asia Minor and Europe. The Assyrians imposed the language on all subjects of the Assyrian empire from the ninth century B.C.
and it remained the lingua franca of the nations it had conquered for almost two millennia.

Simon (Peter) called Jesus Rabbi. The Greek texts all have Epistata Epistata Epistata Epistata Master. The Peshitta would not get Rabbi
from Epistata. A master was not necessarily a Rabbi. However, a Rabbi was necessarily a Master, hence one could derive
Master from Rabbi, which it appears is what happened. The Aramaic text gave rise to the Greek reading .
Strongs Greek-English Lexicon has :

from 1909 and a presumed derivative of 2476; TDNT-2:622,248; n m

Thayers Greek - English Lexicon
1) any sort of superintendent or overseer
Compare Luke 8:24 with Mark 4:38 & Matthew 8:25. Luke 8:24 in Greek has E EE Epist pist pist pistata, Epistata. ata, Epistata. ata, Epistata. ata, Epistata. In the parallel
passage Mark 4:38 it has didaskale ( didaskale ( didaskale ( didaskale (Teacher). ). ). ). The Peshitta has Rabban (Our Rabbi) in both verses . Our Rabbi did
not come from didaskale ( didaskale ( didaskale ( didaskale (Teacher) )) ) or from E EE Epistata pistata pistata pistata E EE Epistata pistata pistata pistata-Master Master.Greek has a problem translating
Rabbi, as it has no one word that satisfactorily signifies it. That is probably why the Greek transliterates it instead 18 times
in Greek letters: Rabbi Rabbi Rabbi Rabbi. The Greek Gospel of John states very plainly however that Rabbi is translated as didaskale didaskale didaskale didaskale
didaskale (Teacher) in John 1:38 where it is both transliterated from Aramaic with Greek letters and also translated into
Greek:
Joh 1:38 strafeiv de o ihsouv kai yeasamenov autouv akolouyountav legei autoiv ti zhteite oi de eipon autw
rabbi rabbi rabbi rabbi o legetai o legetai o legetai o legetai erm erm erm ermhneuomenon hneuomenon hneuomenon hneuomenon didaskale didaskale didaskale didaskale pou meneiv.
Joh 1:38 (ROTHRHAM) But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto themWhat seek ye? And, they, said
unto himRabbi! (Aramaic) which meaneth, when translated, Teacher (Greek), Where abidest thou?
This is a plain indication that the Greek text is a translation of an Aramaic source. It also indicates that the Greek word
d dd didaskale idaskale idaskale idaskale , may indicate Rabbi- ybr ybr ybr ybr as its source. There are other possibilities in Aramaic Mallpana -anplm
(Teacher), for example .
Another Aramaic word identified in Greek mss. as meaning Teacher is Rabboni in John 20:16:
anplm rmatmd ylwbr tyarbe hl armaw tynptaw Myrm ewsy hl rma 16 (Peshitta)
16 (MUR) Jesus said to her: Mary! And she turned, and said to him in Hebrew: Rabbuni; which is interpreted Teacher.
16 (BYZ) legei auth o ihsouv maria strafeisa ekeinh legei autw rabbouni rabbouni rabbouni rabbouni o legetai didaskale didaskale didaskale didaskale
16 (YLT) Jesus saith to her, Mary! having turned, she saith to him, Rabbouni; that is to say, Teacher.
Here is my note for John 20:12 from my interlinear:
16
(& she said) armaw (& she turned) tynptaw (Mary) Myrm (Yeshua) ewsy (to her) hl (said) rma
(Teacher) anplm (which is called) rmatmd (Rabbuli *) ylwbr (in Aramaic *) tyarbe (to Him) hl

tyarbe-Ebraith means Hebrew and though Aramaic was the language used, the Jewish people referred to
it as Hebrew, since Aramaic had been their native tongue (the tongue of the Hebrew people) for six centuries and was used in
their scriptures. Aramaic and Hebrew share the same alphabet and both were written with the same script, so their letters
looked the same in the first century.
ylwbr Rabbuli is an Aramaic word meaning My Master and is the same as Rabboni , which the Greek
versions have in Greek letters transliterated Rabbouni Rabbouni Rabbouni Rabbouni . Notice that Mary is not presented as speaking Greek; neither is any
other person mentioned in the four Gospels. Ebraith Hebrew is defined by its Greek equivalent, Hebrais, as The
Hebrew tongue;not that however in which the OT was written, but the Chaldee.-Thayers Greek English Lexicon.

I love this text in The Peshitta : Henceforth you shall catch men for salvation. No Greek ms. has this. Greek does have the
verb zwgrew zwgrew zwgrew zwgrew which can mean to take alive, to capture. The Aramaic word ayx can mean life, living or salvation.
The Greek word zwgrew zwgrew zwgrew zwgrew would hardly give rise to the Aramaic ayxl dau (catch for life, catch for salvation). ayxl
dau may easily have given rise to zwgrew , zwgrew , zwgrew , zwgrew , though it would not seem the best choice .

The Greek texts omit wine altogether . They also disagree with sweet; Majority Greek has better; Critical Greek has
good. The Peshitta did not get Myob (is sweet) from Crhstov Crhstov Crhstov Crhstov (good) or from Crhstoterov Crhstoterov Crhstoterov Crhstoterov (better). The Greek
could derive from the Aramaic, as sweet is generally considered good , but good does not imply sweetness. Sweet is
more specific than good. Hence, the Greek looks more like a translation here than does The Peshitta.

(another) dx (with) Me (one) dx (they were) wwh (& speaking) Nyllmmw

The Greek has eplhsyhsan eplhsyhsan eplhsyhsan eplhsyhsan anoiav anoiav anoiav anoiav- They were filled with madness.
amox is the Aramaic word for Jealousy . Here is the Aramaic for Rage or Venom :
atmx . Might this strange similarity explain the Greek reading ? One could probably easily be mistaken for the other. The Greek
anoiav anoiav anoiav anoiav , ek NT The Gre were a translation of The Peshitta If . . . . fyonon fyonon fyonon fyonon & zhlov zhlov zhlov zhlov : jealousy has two words used in the NT for
( (( (madness) ) ) ) would have been hypothetically mistaken as zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou or fyonon fyonon fyonon fyonon. . . . Another possibility is that an Aramaean
translator might have intended to write atmx & wrote amox. That is not a likely event for a sober scribe. It would be much
easier to misread such a word than to miswrite it. anoiav anoiav anoiav anoiav does not look like zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou zhlov , zhlou or fyonon fyonon fyonon fyonon, hence the Greek
original scenario is not a very likely explanation. amox & atmx are very similar; ; ; ; they could easily be confused one for
another, hence The Peshitta primacy theory is a much more likely explanation here for the Greek reading than is Greek
primacy for the Aramaic reading. .. .
A0moo sx a & aFmx are the two Aramaic words in Estrangela script which was used after AD 100. They do not look as similar in that
script, but Estrangela did not exist when the NT was composed, so it would not explain the discrepancies since the Greek NT
was written in the first century and the Aramaic script used would have been the square Aramaic characters similar to those
used in this interlinear. There are many examples like this one which I point out in this interlinear of the Gospels.
I will here re-display a thousand words worth of evidence for Peshitta Primacy and for a Greek NT translated from The
Peshitta:

Jesus is lacking in the Greek NT of this verse. Indeed the Greek versions of Luke have the Greek form of our Lords Name
This can be ! times 175 175 175 175 ewsy - Yeshua in Luke has The Peshitta . ) Byzantine ( times 98 and ) H & W ( times 88 , Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv ,
explained in one of two ways:
possibly Luke himself wrote both the original ( the Greek translator, ) ve which I unabashedly belie ( is the original, The Peshitta If . 1
and the Greek translation, according to Hegesippus in the 2
nd
century) dropped 45% - 50% of the occurrences of Yeshua in
translation, possibly to present a smoother Greek style, substituting personal pronouns & or third person singular Greek verbs.
2.If the Greek is original , the Peshitta translator doubled the occurrences of Jesus -Yeshua from 88 to 176, for whatever
reason. That is a 100% increase , based on the Critical Greek text of Westcott and Hort.
The # Greek/#Aramaic ratios for Jesus in the Gospels and Acts are as follows:
Matthew Greek 150; Aramaic 187; 80% (Byz. 171 ; 91.4%)
Mark Greek 82; Aramaic 116; 71% (Byz. 93; 80.2%)

) % .0 93 ; 66 . Byz ( % 97 ; 71 ; Aramaic 69 Acts Greek
NT Totals: Greek 913; Aramaic 1116 ; 81.8%
: Another statistic to consider is the number of occurrences of the name per total words of text
Greek . Byz Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv - Jesus H Greek & W ewsy - Yeshua shitta Pe
Matthew 187/13980 = 1.3% 150/18287 = 0.82% 171/18580 = 0.92%
Mark 116/8793 = 1.3% 82/11445 = 0.71% 93/11628= 0.80%
% .49 0 = 19881 / 98 % .45 0 = 19568 / 88 % .1 1 = 15234 / 175 Luke
John 272/12409= 2.2% 242/15664 =1.54% 253/15914= 1.59%

The Greek version of Luke has a very low number of the Name Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Jesus, compared to the other Gospels, which accounts for
to be fairly consistent in the usage of The Peshitta Gospels seem . version of Luke The Peshitta the discrepancy between it and
the Name ; the spread from the mean of 1.48% is 0.37 , or 25% of the mean value.
The Greek values have a mean of 0.88 and a spread of 0.33 , or 37.5% of the mean value. That is a rather radical variation,
primarily produced by the Greek Luke stats. It looks as if The Peshitta book of Luke is pretty much in line with the other
Peshitta Gospels in numbers of occurrences per text size, so the implications are that Greek Luke has been altered.
Adding 77 occurrences of Ihs Ihs Ihs Ihsouv ouv ouv ouv to the Greek book of Luke (the difference in the numbers of The Name between the two versions)
would put Greek Luke on a par with the other Gospels with regard to the Name frequency- 0.89%. The average for Matthew,
Mark and John is 1.02%. On the other hand, to assume an hypothetical Peshitta translator added Yeshua 77 times means he
should have written only 88 Yeshuas instead, which puts Aramaic Luke at 0.55% frequency for that name, which is extremely
low frequency compared to the usage of His Name in the other Peshitta Gospels. The average for the other 3 Gospels is 1.6% ,
which places the edited Luke at 34% of the average , or at a 66% reduction of the average.
The Greek primacy theory would indicate the Luke had an aversion to the Name of Ihsous (Jesus). The other Gospel writers used it
once for every 102 words. Luke used it only once in every 222 words ! That is less than half the frequency of the others. Why
would an original inspired Gospel of Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv contain Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv (Jesus) only half as often as the other Gospels and substitute
mere pronouns (He,Him,His) in place of the other half ? Was Luke ashamed of the Name of His Lord ? I think not !
I think the Greek primacy theory fails its proponents here, whereas Peshitta primacy can explain the facts much more easily. The
Peshitta has statistics which support its originality; its four Gospels are consistent with regard to the frequency of the most

name of Daniel in blue in the Aramaic and in the Greek. The LXX is missing two Daniels in this verse: The original Aramaic

Yeshua in the Greek NT. That is a Greek/Hebrew ratio of 94.6% , very close to Johns or Acts Greek/Aramaic ratio for

For Do not cut off the hope of any person, the Greek texts have hoping for nothing or never despairing.
I do not see how The Peshitta got Do not cut off the hope of any person from Greek, however I can see how the Aramaic
could be chopped down to mhden apelpizontev mhden apelpizontev mhden apelpizontev mhden apelpizontev . According to Thayers Greek-English Lexicon, that Greek phrase may mean
causing no one to despair, though it is ambiguous. The Aramaic is quite clear.

The Aramaic participles used by our Lord are quite versatile , bearing possible past,present or future tenses. The past tense is the
. etc , deaf were lame,they who were blind,they who were they who : best for these people whom He had healed or resurrected
It would be an error to say the dead rise or to say the blind see.
The Greek versions contain those very errors:All the pertinent words for the above groups are Greek nouns, which are
completely inflexible: Blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have
good news proclaimed-Youngs Literal Translation (of the Greek).This makes for great drama but very poor logic. Our Lord
and The Holy Spirit would not speak so.
And logic also would show that the last category of people those who were poorhad also been delivered from their
condition (they who were poor).The Good News makes rich those who believe it. Blessed are you poor; yours is the
kingdom of God.(Luke 6:20).Nykom Mskayn waiting (see v. 20) & ankom Meskanna poor are probably
related. The poor are those who are in expectation, waiting for deliverance from calamity. Nyrbtom Msethbarayn,Given
good news comes from rbo Sbar to hope,to trust,to expect. A poor man is one who is waiting for his ship to
come in.To be given good news or given hope , in the Biblical sense, is more than adding more hope or expectation. It is
giving, or announcing as accomplished, the thing hoped for to those who were hoping. Hope is , in this sense, the
accomplishment of our desires,prayers and hopes.To receive the gospel message is as great a miracle as raising the dead;
indeed it combines all the other miracles mentioned here: It gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, walking to the lame,
cleanses the leper and is life to the dead. It is the miracle of the ages- the fulfillment of all hope and desire, the redemption
of the world from sin & death by Him Whose Name is Eternal Life. In a word, it is Christ. Luke 6:20 means , Blessed are
you poor, for your ship has come in.That was the good news. They were henceforth rich men and women.
The following scriptures speak of hope as the very thing hoped for, or as the fulfillment of a Divine promise:
Pr 13:12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (Desire coming is the
fulfillment of desire & hope.)
Jer 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Ga 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (We dont wait to hope some more, do we ?)
Col 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory:(Christ is not a hoping for glory; He is the Glory for which we hoped.)
1Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Tit 2:13 looking for the blessed hope, and the manifestation of the glory of the great God, and our Life-giver, Jesus the
Messiah;

Heb 6:18 so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might
have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;
Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the
veil; (Most hopes men hold; this Hope holds men.)
Heb 7:19 For the law perfected nothing; but in the place of it there came in a hope, which is better than it, and by which
we draw near to God.

* All Greek mss. have birds of the heaven, where the Peshitta has merely a bird. This may be due to a perceived ta -Alep-
Tau(Alpha- Omega) code on the part of the original Greek translator. I have identified approx. 30 places in the Greek NT
where the word God, Christ, or even Heaven is found and yet does not occur in The Peshitta. What does occur in 22
places, very interestingly, is the ta Alep-Tau letter combination in a relevant Aramaic verb or noun , which signifies the
Divine Name of Jesus revealed in Revelation 1:8 : I AM The Alep & The Tau. Alep is the first letter of the Aramaic
alphabet; Tau is the last. The combination may be reversed in some places, as in the above verse of Luke 8:5 at- Tau-
Alep in the word , atxrp (Parakhta) -Bird. If the Greek translator (whom I shall affectionately call Zorba) believed
Alep Tau or Tau Alep was a code word for Deity or Heaven, then he might insert that meaning into the Greek translation
where it did not truly exist in the Aramaic of The Peshitta original. Birds of Heaven is the apparent result here. If atxrp
were seen as the code word, then atxrp (Parakhta) would conveniently be broken into xrp Parakh , which still
means bird or birds and at , which in his mystical Kabbalah and esoteric sense would mean God or Heaven-
(Heaven is sometimes used synonymously for God in the NT- See Mat. 4:17 & Mark 1:15). ta & at were not always
seen as codes; only in those 22 places where a mystery or special revelation was associated with the text where the potential
code existed. Can it be a coincidence that the Aramaic alphabet (Alep to Tau) has 22 letters ? Can it also be a coincidence that

All Greek mss. have Petros where The Peshitta has Shimeon Kaypha. According to the Greek of John 1:42, The name
Petros is a translation of his Aramaic name Kaypha. This fact implies that Petros here and in most places would be a
Greek translation of the AramaicKaypha.It also implies that the Greek text generally is a translation, not an original.
. The Greek NT times in 162 occurs Petros

: who is not against you is for you . If The Peshitta were a translation, it followed The Critical Greek text here (or The
Western Greek, if such existed) and then ignored it and followed the Majority Greek text in verses 56 & 57, just six verses down

The Aramaic Kapernakhum (Capernaum) means Hamlet of Nakhum. Nakhum is Nahum the prophet, who wrote the book of
Nahum. That was their exaltation to Heaven .They rejected The Messiah Yeshua, Who preached and performed miracles in its
streets; that is their descent into Hell. Capernaum no longer exists today, in fact , the location of its ruins is in doubt.

* In 68 of the 299 Peshitta NT occurrences of Nrm (Our Lord) , (kuriov hmwn kuriov hmwn kuriov hmwn kuriov hmwn- kurios hmwn or kuriou hmwn , kuriw
hmwn, kurie hmwn, kurion hmwn-Our Lord) occurs in The Greek NT. That is a 23% correlation or a 77 % defection
rate. This means that either the Greek drops the personal pronoun our 77 % of the time or that The Peshitta adds
(construction rate) 340 % of the number of occurrences in the hypothetical Greek original to the hypothetical Aramaic
translation of the Greek NT. Which is more likely ?Consider the following:
In The Hebrew OT, the Hebrew ynda -Adonai (My Lord) occurs 625 times; of those 625 places, The LXX has
(kuriov mou kuriov mou kuriov mou kuriov mou- kurios mou or kuriou mou, kuriw mou, kurie mou, kurion mou-My Lord), 144 times. 144/625=
23%. That is a defection rate in The LXX (dropping the personal possessive pronoun my) of 77 % - exactly the same rate for
The Greek NT as compared to The Peshitta NT ! In this and in many other similar comparisons, the Greek NT compares to
The Peshitta NT just as The LXX Greek OT compares to The Hebrew OT, which means The Greek NT looks statistically very
much like a translation of The Peshitta NT.

Here is the Lords Prayer according to the Critical Greek text in Luke 11:

3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.

And thats it ! This looks like sabotage to me. Leaves one a bit flat, dont you think ? Even Thy will be done is missing, as is
Deliver us from evil- a quite pathetic rendering of the worlds most beautiful and sublime model prayer.

awyd Deeva or Deewa may be the etymological original for the English word devil , and therefore I translate it as
such, using devil as the original King James Version does when it refers to a demon, not Satan . awyd never refers to The
Devil. It is also synonymous with adas- Sheda in Aramaic,which is usually translated demon.The reader then knows
that devil comes from awyd Deeva, and demon normally comes from adas- Sheda.Interestingly, Shedais
phonetically very similar to the English Shade, which can refer to a spirit or ghost.The English Diva also refers to
n the O . daimonion daimonion daimonion daimonion Demon has only one word for The Greek NT . Diva , from the Latin goddess a originally to
basis of a Greek original,it is difficult, to say the least, to account for the fact that The Peshitta has two very different root
. ) Deeva ( awyd of 30 & ) Sheda ( adas occurrences of 40 has The Peshitta NT . while Greek has only one demon words for
daimonwn daimonwn daimonwn daimonwn in Aramaic where the Greek has ) God ( Alaha has :18 17 Acts ! has both words in one verse :24 12 Matthew
demons. It is definitely a reference to Jesus, Whom Paul was preaching to the Greeks. Daimonwn Daimonwn Daimonwn Daimonwn may refer to deities,
Notice . All others refer to demons . where it occurs Greek NT places in the 60 but this would be the only such reference of the
that verse 14 has Sheda twice and verse 15 has Deeva twice; The Greek,of course, has a form of daimonion daimonion daimonion daimonion-
(daimonion) in every place. Why would a translator (assuming a Greek original) translate Daimonion twice as Sheda in verse
14 and then change it to Deeva twice in the next verse ?All four references are in the same context.Luke 8:27 through 8:33
alternates between the two Aramaic words Deeva-Sheda- Deeva-Sheda for each of the four occurrences of the Greek
Daimonionwithin a passage of seven verses !

A Greek translation of The Peshitta original is an idea that makes a lot more sense here, as in so many other places.

It has been said (though the source slips my mind) that the good eye is an Aramaic idiom signifying a generous person and the
bad eye is an idiom signifying a stingy person. Verse 41 would seem to validate that view in connection with verses 34-36.I do
believe the good eye-evil eye concepts involve much more than generosity and stinginess, however. They describe a persons
viewpoint of the world as either positive or negative- good or bad.
Giving away all ones money to charity may be exactly the cure for the eye trouble our culture suffers from.

authorized to cast into Gehenna after having killed. We should fear Self, since it has produced all the evils of this world and
of that which is to come. He tells us in verse 7, Fear not therefore, you are more valuable than many sparrows. He does not
want us to fear our Father in Heaven, as He loves us and will take care of us. He does want us to fear ourselves; we have the
power to obey or disobey, to live or to die, to enter Heaven or Hell, to bring a blessing or a curse upon ourselves. The power to
commit sin logically indicates the power to do right, so if we are condemned, we are self condemned. Someone asked Madame
Guyon ( the 16
th
century French mystic who had been severely persecuted & put in a dungeon for her faith) about her thoughts
on the interpretation of the seven headed beast in Revelation 13:1
And I saw a beast of prey come up from the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads; and upon his horns ten diadems,
and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2 And the beast of prey which I saw, was like a leopard; and his feet like those of a wolf, and his mouth like the mouth
of lions: and the dragon gave to him his own power and his throne, and great authority.

Her answer was simply, It is Self.

Taking care- Puy (Yatsap) refers to taking pains or being diligent to procure something. The lesson is illustrated by the
animal world: Birds do not sow nor reap; Ravens do not gather into barns . These activities illustrate the care our Lord
says we need not rely on to live. If crows dont need it, why would we ?
We must remember that our Lords teaching is always radically against the grain and opposed to the ways of the world (& too often
the church) to seem acceptable or even reasonable to us, but then, My ways are not your ways, neither are My thoughts your
thoughts, saith The LORD.-Isaiah 55:8
It is exactly this principle that commends the teaching of The Messiah to me as truth; if it were conventional wisdom, I would not
believe it to be the truth of God. What has He to do with convention and the ways of the world ?

This is not about worrying, but about our efforts to sustain ourselves. Our Lord does not challenge us to add a cubit (18 inches) to
our stature by worrying, but by any means at our disposal. Who of us can do that by our efforts ? That is a small thing,
however, compared to keeping ourselves well fed and clothed, yet we do not see it that way. We believe we can do the great
thing but not the small thing. The fact is, we can do nothing !

Mammon- i.e. , they labor for the food that perishes, not for eternal bread which gives eternal life (See John 6:27).The
world seeks temporal things by their laboring for them. If they would labor for the eternal , they would need not fear for their
welfare in the world.

the coming, referring to the future.
yxnml -Next year looks very like yhnml , which is a compound of yh Nml -After that. The letters Khet x & Het h
being very similar, are very easily mistaken one for the other, as was yhnml for yxnml by a Greek translator. There is no easy
accounting for the reverse scenario. The Greek eiv to mellon eiv to mellon eiv to mellon eiv to mellon eis to mellon could translate to yhnml -After that ,
but the Aramaic has yxnml Next year. The scribe would have had to have meant to write yhnml and written yxnml instead.
Such an error is possible, but an error of the hand is much less likely than the error of the eye in the first scenario. The Peshitta
has no demonstrable errors of the hand or eye , whereas the Greek has been shown to have a considerable number of such
errors, simply by reason of its many thousands of variant readings. Both Eastern & Western Peshittas have the same reading.
The Greek mss. all have the phrase eiv to mellon eiv to mellon eiv to mellon eiv to mellon, though The Critical Greek text has:
If it bears fruit after that, but if not, you shall cut it down. Papyrus 45 & D,Y & The Majority Byzantine Text have:
And if it bear fruit: and if not, after that thou shalt cut it down. As you can see, neither Greek text makes good sense.
An interesting possibility in the Peshitta text is that yxnml plus the following letter t-Tau gives ( tyxnml ) which makes sense
as Why should it be living ? and the remaining word hyqopt (You should cut it down) would become hyqop (Cut it
down). However, I can find no evidence of any such reading in any Peshitta manuscript. They all seem to agree with the
, whose scribe writes that it is a direct copy of a fourth The Khabouris manuscript interlinear text I provide above, including

century (pre A.D. 360) manuscript.[I rely on Paul Younans expertise in Aramaic and Assyrian history,as he is a native
Assyrian, for the date and translation of the scribal notes, which I have not yet seen.]

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you have murdered the prophets, and stoned them that were sent to her; how many times
would I have gathered your children, as a hen that gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not?
Our Lords lament for Jerusalem is an astonishing revelation of His psyche; He speaks as the Deity of Israel and His words are
reminiscent of the word of God spoken to the prophets :
Isa 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, The Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and
in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Jer 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk
therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jer 44:4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this
abominable thing that I hate.
Jer 44:5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
Zec 1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn
ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
In the words of C.S. Lewis, The idea of a great moral teacher saying what Christ said is out of the question. In my opinion, the
only person who can say that sort of thing is either God, or a complete lunatic suffering from that delusion which
undermines the whole mind of man.

Where is the Greek text that can account for these different readings in three consecutive verses, not to mention verses 5 & 10 ?
It is much more reasonable to account for the Greek readings on the basis of omissions & alternate word meanings in
translating from a Peshitta original, than vice versa.The Peshitta can in this way account for all Greek texts; No Greek text can
reasonably account for the Peshitta.

Taav bat primarily means to return; it also means to turn to God. The word repent conveys an incomplete meaning-
the point our Lord makes in His parables is that the lost are found and come home again where they belong. God is our
Home to which we must return. Taav in the spiritual sense refers to the souls homecoming.

Denarius. What business had the Jews of Israel with Greek drachmas ? This is simply the Greek monetary exchange for the

Aaaygod -of many was apparently read as adqr -dancing; Greek mss. have music and dancing.
Aaaygod with one Alep still has the same meaning: Aaygod. d & r are practically identical. q & o could be confused with a
smudged Semqat- o . yg gg g , if pressed together or smudged (apparently some smudging occurred at the last word in the verse)
may appear d , & both words end with a. ayg gg god becomes ad dd dqr . This is quite a feasible explanation for the Greek reading
Dancing. Another possibility is that the Greek translator skipped many and read the first word of the next sentence

arqw(and called) & read it as adqr -dancing, and then , after translating it as corwn corwn corwn corwn -dancing, looked back and
read it a second time, only correctly the second time as called.

It is more likely the Greek was translated from the Aramaic than vice versa; it is not very likely, generally, that a translator will
add words not in the original, especially when the text is the Bible; it is more likely that he or she will omit a word,
inadvertently. Since the translator knew this word was of Hebrew origin, he probably simply gave the Hebrew term in Greek
form- Batos, rather than translate the Aramaic word Metraya( which would be metronin Greek).

atwta Atwatha may refer to a letter, sign or character. All of these are symbols, so I chose that to translate this word.
In Matthew 5:18, The Peshitta records our Lord as saying not one Yodh or one Taag will pass from the Law, till everything
will come to pass. A Yodh is the smallest letter; a Taag is a crownlet symbol used by the Scribes in their Massorah to
designate certain letters of certain significant words , their usages and number of occurrences in the scriptures. It was an
apparent reference to the Massoretic scribal tradition of precision in copying scripture going back to the first century and
before, which accounts for the extreme accuracy and uniformity among manuscripts of The Hebrew Bible. Atwathawould

It would be easier to . It was for Him Divinely inspired , letter by letter, and preserved also letter by letter . Hebrew Bible
destroy Heaven and earth than to destroy one letter from The Law (The Law sometimes refers to the entire Hebrew Bible-See
John 10:34, 15:25).It is safe to say that our Lord Yeshua held to the infallibility of scripture and understood that to include the
idea that even in His time, 1500 years after Moses received the Law on Mt Sinai, every letter of the original text had been
Divinely preserved and would be preserved until the end of time and beyond into eternity.He saw the Word of God as more
sacred than all creation, and completely unshakeable. We can place all confidence in it; We have His Word on it.
Notwithstanding, He seems to indicate a change in dispensation from The Law & Prophets to The Kingdom of God in
verses 16 - 18. This does not mean He came to destroy the Law or The Prophets, but to fulfill them(Matthew 5:17). It does
mean that Heaven & earth would pass away and all things would become new in a new creation. The primary instruments in
effecting that great transformation would be a cross and a tomb: a cross upon which would hang and die The Creator of heaven
and earth, and The Life thereof; a tomb, in which He Who suffered and died on that cross would be buried and rise again the
third day. Paul The Apostle explains this all later in his great epistles. They were to be universal and eternal events, starting at
the Top of all things with The Godhead and including all creation in its activities, thus transforming all things in a complete
redemption.
To verify that He moved from Law & Prophets to a new order, He lays down a new law, unwritten in The Law of Moses.
That law follows in verse 18:
18
(another) atrxa (& takes) bonw (his wife) httna (divorces) arsd (whoever) Nm (everyone) lk
(that takes) bond (whoever) Nm (& everyone) lkw (commits adultery) rag
(commits adultery) rag (her that is divorced) atqybs

Verse 18 establishes Yeshua Meshikha as the Lawgiver One far greater than Moses. He lays down His law in the Gospels,
and especially in His Sermons on the Mount and on the Plain, as recorded in Matthew 5-7 and in Luke 6.

(of God) ahlad (to the Kingdom) htwklml (a rich man) aryte (than) wa (to enter) lwen

It is easier for a camel to enter into the eye of a needle than for a rich man the kingdom of God.
I have read and rejected the translation, It is easier for a rope, for these reasons: Rope is an obscure sense for Gamla;
Great beam that supports rafters is a more common sense than a rope, yet that is not chosen as an alternative reading
with any merit. Camel driver or Giraffe are also possible, but no one chooses either of them as the meaning. The verb
lwen nawal is active in all translations to enter, yet what rope can actively enter or do anything ? If a rope were the
meaning, the verb would be the Aphel form (causative sense to bring) and would apply also to the rich man, since one verb
serves for both objects. If a rope were the sense, the sentence would most likely read: It is easier to insert a rope into the
eye of a needle than a rich man into the kingdom of God. The problem is that we must picture both the rope and the rich man
as objects rather than subjects. The real subject or subjects in that scenario is unnamed and unknown and is seen as pushing a
rope and then a man through a very small opening. The idea of needing someone to push a man into the kingdom of God is
unnatural and ridiculous. Either he fits and can make it on his own or he does not belong there. A camel can move under its
own power, yet it cannot fit itself into the eye of a needle. A camel and a rich man are both living active agents capable of
The fact of the unnamed subjects is the real . g anythin enter A rope is inanimate and cannot . initiating and performing action
problem in the rope scenario. A camel driver may be seen as pushing his camel to try squeezing him through the eye of a
needle; Who is the subject pushing the rich man into the Kingdom of God ? Surely if it were God, there would be no
problem, but there is obviously quite a big problem, so who is it trying this unlikely and silly feat ? No one was pushing the
rich nobleman who came to Jesus; He asked of his own initiative and was told what he must do, and he decided it was asking
too much. Our Lord used the same verb in the previous verse- to enter the kingdom; Did he mean, to be pushed ? I think
not !
Another problem with the rope hypothesis is a theological and psychological one: No one is going to try getting a camel to go
through the eye of a needle to prove a rich man might get into the kingdom of God; however, a man might try getting a rope
through the eye of a needle; it sounds like a challenge worthy of ingenuity that just might pay off and yield hope that it is
possible to do the other also. Is it our Lords intention to challenge us to try getting rich men into the kingdom, or to cause us to
. The rope hypothesis only encourages rebellion , not faith see the futility of trying it?

All Greek texts have Petrov Petrov Petrov Petrov Petros (Peter) where The Peshitta has Shimeon Kaypha. In John 1:42,
the Greek mss. all read: su klhyhsh su klhyhsh su klhyhsh su klhyhsh khfav khfav khfav khfav o ermhneuetai o ermhneuetai o ermhneuetai o ermhneuetai petrov petrov petrov petrov- -- - you shall be called Kayphas, which is translated
Peter. There the Greek text states that Petros is a translation of Kayphas (Greek form of Kaypha). Kaypha , the Aramaic
word, is the original behind Petros. Must we not then understand that the 160 some occurrences of Petros , referring to
the Apostle Peter, are all translations of the Aramaic Kaypha ?Is not John 1:42 a declaration (like at least five other similar
statements in the NT) that the Greek text is a translation of an Aramaic original ?John 1:41 has another such statement :
eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton messian messian messian messian o estin meyermhneuomenon o estin meyermhneuomenon o estin meyermhneuomenon o estin meyermhneuomenon o cristov o cristov o cristov o cristov We have found the Messiah (which is, being
translated, Christ). The Peshitta lacks the underlined portions of the two verses, because it is not translating a Greek text or
the Greek language at all. But the Greek mss. declare in John 1:41 that they are translating the Aramaic Meshikha (It comes
out Messias in Greek letters). Is this not a key to understanding that the 571 occurrences of the Greek word Christosin
The Greek NT are translations of the Aramaic original Meshikha ? Does not Greek John 1:41 declare itself and the Gospel
to be a translation which is being translated,Christ- of an Aramaic original ? Shimeons name was not Petros;
Petrosis Greek. Shimeon was not Greek and did not speak Greek; He was an Israeli Jew who spoke Aramaic and had an
Aramaic name. Yeshua Meshikha was not a Greek and did not have a Greek name. He was and is an Israeli Jew (not to
mention being Jehovah God) with an Aramaic Name and spoke Aramaic. He was never called Christos by His disciples nor
Iaysous by those who knew Him, neither did He ever call Himself by those names. He is and was Yeshua Meshikha and
spoke His native language to His countrymen and disciples, all of whom spoke and understood Aramaic and not Greek.He also
spoke Aramaic from Heaven to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus. (See Acts 26:14 in Greek & look up Hebraiv Hebraiv Hebraiv Hebraiv- -- -
Hebrais (translated Hebrew) in a Greek lexicon. (Or see my note at John 20:16) Here is an excerpt:
Hebrais, as The Hebrew tongue;not that however in which the OT was written, but the Chaldee.-Thayers

during His last day and the days following. That fact should give us serious pause and cause some serious contemplation of the
immensity of His suffering and death on the cross and His resurrection. Interestingly, this would also include Daniels prophecy
of the coming of The Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven (Dan. 7:13).But He told Caiaphas the High Priest ,You shall
see The Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven. It did not take long to occur. Many need to rethink their Eschatology

The Greek has forov forov forov forov(Foros), which apparently was the wrong word, as it was a tax paid in produce, not with money.
See the following definitions of the various Greek words for taxes:
forov forov forov forov (Foros) indicates a direct tax which was levied annually on houses, lands, and persons, and paid usually in
produce.
Telov ( Telov ( Telov ( Telov (Telos) )) ) is an indirect tax on merchandise, which was collected at
piers, harbors, and gates of cities. It was similar to modern import
duties.
khnsov khnsov khnsov khnsov,(Kaynsos) originally an enrollment of property and persons, came to
mean a poll-tax, levied annually on individuals by the Roman government.
didracmon didracmon didracmon didracmon (Didrachmon) was the coin used to pay an annual tax levied by the
religious leaders of Israel for the purpose of defraying the general expenses of the Temple.
As The Peshitta has a head tax which was also called a poll tax , the Greek word forov forov forov forov does not match it, meaning
The Peshitta is not a translation of forov forov forov forov , which does not fit the tax being described. The Greek word which fits is khnsov khnsov khnsov khnsov
(Kaynsos) , but no Greek manuscript known has khnso khnso khnso khnsov vv v; ; ; ; All have forov forov forov forov (Foros) , which was normally paid in barter,
not coins.
Therefore, the Greek is plainly a mistranslation of the Peshittas poll tax (asr Pok) kespa resha . The Greek is incorrect
here and the Aramaic is flawless.

son. In what first century culture were sons given in marriage ? If the meaning were simply children, the word teknon

Greek text or manuscript is The Peshitta a translation ?Again, the Greek is incorrect and The Peshitta is flawless.

Of the seven quotes of Psalm 110:1 , The Peshitta disagrees with all the major Greek readings in four (Shaded grey) and agrees
with them in 3 cases.. It also agrees with The Peshitta OT and The Hebrew OT in one of the cases and also with The LXX in
that same place where The LXX and The Hebrew OT & Peshitta OT all agree. (Acts 2:35).
The Greek texts agree with The LXX in ten out of 15 (2 Greek texts) places.
This shows four things:
1. The Peshitta does not translate the Greek readings . In several cases, The Peshitta contains footstool under your feet where
the Greek has a subset footstool or under your feet. In Mark 12:36 , The Critical Greek has under your feet and The
Majority Greek has your footstool of your feet. The Peshitta has your footstool under your feet.
2. The Greek conforms generally to The LXX (67% correlation).
3. The Peshitta NT quotes do not conform to any particular established OT text. It does not agree with The Hebrew OT or The
Peshitta OT more than twice of the seven times Psalm 110:1 is quoted. That is only 28 % correlation.
4. The Greek readings are subsets of The Peshitta readings in 12/15- (80%) of the cases. In the other 20%, the Greek text conforms
to The LXX. That means the Greek readings may be derived from The Aramaic , but not vice versa. For the Peshitta to have
come from Greek, there would have had to be selective conflation (pasting two different readings together to form a longer
one), and editing among different Greek text types, with no particular rhyme or reason behind it; Often the Peshitta follows no
particular Greek reading whatsoever (56% of the time). This is not a reasonable scenario for an Aramaic translation from Greek.
All the data support a Greek translation from a Peshitta base.

44
(Him) hl (called) arq (my Lord) yrm (David) dywd (therefore) lykh (if) Na
(is He) wh (his son) hrb (how ?) ankya

The following is a photo of the ancient Khabouris Peshitta Manuscript, which was copied from a fourth century manuscript no
later than AD 360, according to the scribes notes.

I show this because the word order is different here from the 1905 edition used in this interlinear, and may explain the
difference in the Greek readings of the verse . The Khabouris (& the Eastern Peshitta) has the word order:
If therefore David called Him my Lord, how his son is He ?
The Western Peshitta mss. have:
If therefore David my Lord called Him, how his son is He ?
The 4
th
century Greek ms.Vaticanus has :
David therefore Him Lord calls, and how his son is He ? This is closer to the Eastern Peshitta than to the Western.
Practically all other Greek mss. have:
David therefore Lord Him calls, and how son his is He ?
This is closer to the Western word order than to the Eastern. These facts lead me to believe that the Vaticanus manuscript is a
translation of the Aramaic text according to the Eastern Peshitta and that the Majority Greek text is translated from the
Western Peshitta text. There are very few differences between the two Peshittas, however, by which to compare the Greek texts,
but the available data seem to support this conclusion.

Matthew 22 says twice that David called Him (The Messiah) ayrm Jehovah ; Luke and Mark say David called Him , yrm
my Lord. There is one letter difference between Jehovah & my Lord in Aramaic: ayrm &yrm . This may seem to be a
contradiction in The Peshitta NT, however, the text of Matthew says that our Lord was addressing the Pharisees directly and
asking them for their views of The Messiah. Mark and Luke (in The Peshitta) have , How do the Scribes say that The Messiah
is Davids son ? The circumstances were different from the account of Matthew, and the approach with the Pharisees in
Matthew was deeper and more expository and theological than with the common folk. With the Pharisees, He said twice that
David calls The Messiah Jehovah ayrm (MarYah) , which is not based on His quotation of Psalm 110:1, but rather on a
further examination of Psalm 110:5 in the first century text of the verse which was later revised by the Massoretes from
Jehovah (or YAHWEH) in Hebrew to Adonai my Lord. Why did the Massoretes do this ? Beats me, but they did this in
134 places in the Hebrew Bible and kept notes of the changes for every one of them in their Massorah (Scribal notes and
alternate readings in the margins of manuscripts). The Peshitta Old Testament also retains the correct reading in this and all
shall h at Your right hand Jehova : says :5 110 Psalm . the other places where the reading was later changed in Hebrew mss
defeat kings in the day of His wrath. If Jehovah is at the right hand of Jehovah then there are two Jehovahs mentioned in this
Psalm: God The Father and God The Son Messiah. If The Son is at the right hand of The Father, as verse one teaches, then The
Father cannot be the One to Whom verse 5 refers as YAHWEH at your right hand. If The Son is at the right hand of The
Father, The Father cannot be at the right hand of The Son; otherwise , we make nonsense of language and reason. My
understanding of Hebrew exposition is that the first verse of a Psalm signifies the whole Psalm, when quoted. Quite often, the
first verse of a Psalm is quoted in The NT, but the first verse is a title for entire Psalm, often as a song begins with the title
words by which the song is known.
The Greek text of Matthew 22: 43-46 says basically the same as the Greek of Mark 12 & Luke concerning Psalm 110, because

Those who consume the houses of widows, for an offering of chanting their prayers, will receive a surpassing condemnation.

atle Ellta can mean pretext, cause, article, or offering, sacrifice. Pretext is not convincing, as most
translations have it. Surely the Scribes would pray at the widows homes and pray long prayers. It was not pretending that was
the problem, it was charging widows for their prayers that was the problem. Are we to believe that it would have been
acceptable if they had actually prayed long prayers in exchange for devouring widows houses ?

ana ana -Ena na is an Aramaic idiom used in The Old Testament Peshitta to translate Divine utterances: I AM The
LORD; I AM God; I AM the first and the last, etc. . 97% of the 146 occurrences of this expression I have examined in the
OT refer to God; a few times it may refer to a mere human saying I am. I here translate it in the Divine sense, as it
amounts to a claim of false prophets to be The Messiah, Who is certainly Divine. The Greek mss. never convey this sense in the
34 places where it occurs in The Peshitta NT, as the Greek ego eiminever was an idiom meaning I AM God.The Greek
mss. also lack The Messiahin this verse, leaving merely the inane statement Many shall come in My Name saying, I am.
This they repeat in some other places in the Gospels, making a claim to Deity into a vague and meaningless statement in Greek.
This is surely a defect in the Greek NT in several places such as : If you believe not that I am, you shall die in your sins.-Jn.
8:24. It is a deficiency in those 24 other I AM statements of our Lord in John, such as I am the bread of life.The Peshitta
has Ena nain those places, meaning I AM the Living God. John 6:51 then reads: I am The Living God, the bread of life,
who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall
give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world.

Did an Aramaean translator invent this phrase and add it to a translation of Greek , or did a Greek translator simply miss it in his
translation from The Peshitta ? Reason will dictate that the latter is far more likely than the former.

The majority of Greek mss. have all your opposers shall not be able to refute nor resist. The Critical Greek text has all your
opposers shall not be able to resist nor refute, with the last two verbs switched. In all major Greek texts,two verbs are used
instead of the Peshittas one. See how The Peshitta text accounts for this: Mqml -lmaqum can mean to stand or to
oppose ; the next Aramaic word,
hlbwql lqublah , means against it,however it looks very much like -
hlwbql lqabulah, which means to impeach it or to accuse it. The Greek translator appears to have mistaken the Aramaic
hlbwql for hlwbql. The fact that Mqml -lmaqum can mean to stand or to oppose doubles the likelihood that the
Greek readings with these two verbs to refute or resist are based on the Aramaic Peshitta text. The Critical Greek agrees

The Greek is quite different; I cannot see how The Peshitta obtained the phrase clasping of hands from Greek mss. No Greek ms.
has the phrase ; Greek has the word aporia perplexity. Why in the name of Sam Hill would a translator add such a
phrase ? The Aramaic phrase aydya Kswp clasping of hands is doubtless an idiom referring to perplexity. If the Greek were
to be translated into Aramaic, the word Kswp would do it. Of course, I do not accept the notion that The Peshitta writers were
translating anything; The Greek text is translated from The Peshitta. An original text should have more such idioms than a
translation would. The translator would tend to simplify them and render a text that is simpler than the base text and simpler
than an original text in the translation language. All Aramaic words highlighted in purple in this interlinear are idioms. They

find all around us every day if we look and consider; Shoobkha is the highest and noblest, most sublime reality and concept
conceivable to the mind, whether to man , angel or God Himself. The Deity would comprise that glory. Wherever there is
despair or sorrow, strength or possibility, honor or praise, The Son of Man is revealed and present, for these all come from
Him and bring us eventually to Him.

Generation means generation; This means this. Our Lord was not speaking of a future generation. Futurists need to go
back to the words of The Son of God and rethink their prophecy schemes. His words in Luke 21 and Matthew 24 have been
fulfilled through The Holy Spirit , the Gospel proclamation and advent of Messiah to every heart and land where he was
received, and judgment to those who rejected Him.

The Greek mss. for Passover have Pascha(See v. 13 also). Here is Strongs Dictionary entry for the Greek word: 3957
pasca pascha pas-khah : of Aramaic origin, cf 06453 xop; TDNT-5:896,797; n n
AV-Passover 28, Easter 1; 29 .
This Aramaic word occurs 29 times in the Greek NT., in the Gospels, Acts, I Corinthians and Hebrews. The Greek pasca pasca pasca pasca- -- -
Pascha is an exact transliteration , letter for letter, of the Aramaic word axup -Pascha.

Greek mss. have Petrov Petrov Petrov Petrov- Petros(Peter) where The Peshitta has Kaypha. According to the Greek mss. of John 1:42,
Petrov ( Petrov ( Petrov ( Petrov (Peter) is a Greek translation of Kaypha: khfav o ermhneuetai petrov khfav o ermhneuetai petrov khfav o ermhneuetai petrov khfav o ermhneuetai petrov- -- -Cephas -(Aramaic) , which is to be
translated, Peter- (Greek). So it is then in the some 162 places where Petrov Petrov Petrov Petrov occurs in The Greek NT. And if the name is a
translation in those 162 places, is not the rest of the text also a translation of an Aramaic original ?How about the name of The
Messiah, as written in Greek mss. of John 1:41: ton ton ton ton messian messian messian messian (Aramaic) o estin meyermhneuomenon o cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon o cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon o cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon o cristov ( (( (Greek) - -- -
the Messias (Aramaic), which is, being interpreted, the Christ (Greek). Christos is here declared to be a translation of
the Aramaic word Messiah. Cephas called Yeshua The Messiah, not Christos. The original is Messiah; Christos
is the Greek translation , and it occurs 569 times in the NT. Is this not tantamount to declaring 569 times that the Greek NT is a
translation of an Aramaic original ? 569 + 162 = 731 times, for Peter + Christ. That should tip off the reader that The Greek
NT is a translation, not the original.

Online Bible, of which this interlinear is a translation. The reader may also be interested to know that this writer has found
several long Bible codes in this edition which span the entire NT, are up to 88 letters long, and are found by skipping up to
99,067 letters between each of the letters in a 40 letter code about a plot to murder The Messiah. If one letter were added or
deleted from the 461,094 letters of the Codefinder edition of The Peshitta (extremely close to this Interlinear 1905 Peshitta
edition), none of the long codes I have found would exist; nor can they be found in any of the other editions I have searched. All
Greek mss. contain vss. 17 & 18. I cannot believe they were simply invented and added by a Greek translator. They were in the
original Peshitta manuscript in order to occur in all Greek mss., since The Greek NT is a translation of The Peshitta.

Byth-Zytha is usually paralleled in Greek by elaiwn elaiwn elaiwn elaiwn elaiown (Olives), which is a partial translation of the Aramaic
name, which means, Place of Olives. In John 5:2, The Critical Westcott & Hort text has bhyzaya, bhyzaya, bhyzaya, bhyzaya, Baythzatha which is a
ic names of the villages knew the Arama The Peshitta Whoever wrote . Zytha - Byth transliteration of the same Aramaic name
(& hills) in first century Israel. The Greek sometimes translates names, giving their meanings, which is evidence that the Greek
not only is not original, but the writer may not have been familiar with those places. It would be akin to writing Teaching of
An . , even in a translation Teaching of Peace , Jerusalem No one living in Israel would call . Jerusalem for Peace
hat country original text in the original language of the country would have the original names of the towns and people of t
These The Greek NT does not have; The Peshitta NT . in the same language and forms familiar to the people who lived there
If The Peshitta were translated centuries later in Syria or a country other than Israel, as is commonly supposed, how . does
would the translator have gotten all the Semitic names of villages , coins and people in first century Israel where the Greek did
not have them ?
The Greek coins lepton lepton lepton lepton (Leptov) & kodranthv kodranthv kodranthv kodranthv (Kodrantays) are Greek equivalent names, not the Jewish terms for the
Roman coins, Mina & Shimona.In fact, The Greek NT has two different translations for the Jewish Mina: lepton lepton lepton lepton
(Leptov) & Mna Mna Mna Mna (Mna), the latter being a transliterated form of the Aramaic word anm , Mina, while the former is a
translation equivalent in Greek currency.

The Majority Greek has for I sent you to him.The Critical Greek has for he sent him to us.How did the Peshitta get for I
sent Him to him from either Greek reading? But I will show how the Greek texts may have gotten their readings from the
Aramaic:
htwl ryg htrds is I sent Him to him;
htwl ryg Nwktrds is For I sent you to him;
N NN Ntwl ryg hrds is For he sent Him to us. Compare ryg htrds & ryg yg yg ygtrds & Nwktrds; the first (black letters) is the
Peshitta reading ,for I sent Him; the second is the same with one letter missing and the next word (Gir) pushed into the
first;The third reading is I sent you.This misreading of Gir as Kown is a hypothetical explanation for the Greek
readings.In the square Aramaic of Dead Sea Scroll script, a Yodh and Waw can be easily confused:
-Yodh and Waw.In regular Hebrew-Aramaic they are y ,w y ,w y ,w y ,w . . . . Waw is simply longer on the down stroke. ,

ryg yg yg yg (Gir- For) & Nwk- (-kown-you) are composed of letters which differ basically in the length of their respective
strokes , and could be misconstrued if carelessly read or written. That is what I believe happened with the Majority Greek
translation. The Critical Greek can be more easily explained:
htwl ryg htrds became Ntwl ryg hrds by dropping a letter (t) & misreading another letter h for N. N is called a final
readings is twenty one Greek letters; the The difference between the two Greek . at the end of a word ) n ( Nun, the form of Nun
These I highlight in red ( difference between those two readings in the Aramaic language would be six Aramaic letters;
. versa - base, than vice So it would be much easier to account for both Greek readings on the basis of an Aramaic . ) below
! no Greek text has the Peshitta reading Besides, the Peshitta reading cannot have come from Greek;
I sent for you to him
Majority Greek: anepemq anepemq anepemq anepemqa aa a gar gar gar gar umav umav umav umav prov prov prov prov auton auton auton auton

If it be objected that The Peshitta was compiled by editing and translating both major Greek traditions, I respond that over
50% of the time it differs from one Greek text, it differs from both of them with readings unique and unknown even among The
Latin Vulgate mss.. Besides, what translator would be editing and collating mss. on the fly as he is translating those mss. ? He
is a The Peshitta not that I would grant for a minute that - wants a single straightforward document in front of him to translate
translation of Greek, or of anything else, for that matter. It is too plain a document and uncluttered with variant readings , too
full of Aramaic idioms , Aramaic syntax and sentence structure for that to be the case. Greek mss., on the other hand, are too
full of variant readings, alternate synonyms of corresponding Aramaic words, transliterations of Aramaic in hundreds of
very similar ( places, translational statements declared as such from Aramaic, Aramaic sentence structure as opposed to Greek
Greek NT compares very well to LXX ( positions and very low lexical density as compared to original Greek com ) The LXX to

The Latin Vulgate : ducebantur autem et alii duo nequam cum eo ut interficerentur. And there were also two other
malefactors led with him to be put to death. (Douay)
Old Syriac : And there were coming with Him two evil doers to be killed.
Hello ? According to the Critical Greek Text and The Latin Vulgate, The Messiah was an evil doer like the two robbers
crucified with Him ! How can anyone who has sincere faith in Messiah countenance such blasphemies in supposedly inspired
Bible texts ?! The Peshitta and the Majority Greek agree here in the general wording that there were with Him two others-
evil doers, not two other evil doers. There is a world of difference, an infinite and eternal difference between those two
statements.

? Fortunately, most manuscripts and versions contain this most holy and sublime utterance of our Lord from the cross. May
God forgive textual critics who edit the words of God, for they know not what they do !

Greek mss. have Petros-Peter for Shimeon; but we know from Greek mss. of John 1:42 that Petros is a translation of the
apostles Aramaic name Shimeon Kaypha (See Matthew 4:18 & 10:2, Jn. 1:44) ; Petros is not his name; it is a
translation of his name. The Greek, Christos- (Christ) also is a translation of Meshikha , according to the Greek mss.
of John 1:41. Does that not support the premise that the Greek text is a translation and that the original was Aramaic ? The
Greek NT does not support the idea that the Jews of Israel were bilingual in Aramaic and Greek. John uses the phrase several
times: (Aramaic term) is translated as (Greek term) . It does not say,You shall be called Kaypha and Petros. If they
were bilingual in Aramaic and Greek, everyone would have had an Aramaic name and a Greek name. It says, You shall be
called, Kaypha, which is translated Petros.This formula , used several times in John, gives away the Greek text as a
translation of an Aramaic original. Our Lord was not named Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv Ihsouv-Iaysous- translated Jesus. His name was not
Greek, it was the Aramaic ewsy-Yeshua(Probably pronounced Yayshu in first century Israel). Practically no one had a
Greek name in Israel, according to the Greek NT. That would not be so if Greek were a second language there.

And they were saying to one another, Were not our hearts dull within us as He was speaking with us on the road and
expounding to us the scriptures ?

All Greek mss. have, Did not our hearts burn [within us] ?
Here is dull in Aramaic: ryqy
Here is burn in Aramaic :dyqy . Hard to tell the difference, isnt it ?
Perhaps Zorba the Greek mistook ryqy as dyqy.
Greek for burn here is kaiomenh kaiomenh kaiomenh kaiomenh.
Greek for dull: barewv barewv barewv barewv or nwyrov nwyrov nwyrov nwyrov.
So which explains which ? I will grant that an Aramaean translator might see kaiomenh kaiomenh kaiomenh kaiomenh and miswrite his translation as
dyqy -iqid instead of ryqy -yaqqir, (assuming the later Estrangela script used in the second century and onward) ,
though it is much less likely than an error in reading the square Aramaic ryqy as dyqy -(d & r are easily confused one for
another , whereas the Estrangela Dalet - d & Resh-r are carefully distinguished by their dots within or above ) , or a scribe
may have mistaken dyqy -iqid in an original Peshitta translation manuscript of Luke and have written ryqy -yaqqir, and no
one after him copied the original , only the second generation copy with the error in it. That seems highly unlikely, however,
given that the original would have been copied more than once, and most copies would have the correct reading if the original
were correct. As it stands, no Peshitta manuscript of the 16 mss. collated by Gwilliam in this passage of Luke agrees with the
Greek reading. Thus it is very difficult to support that The Greek was original and a hypothetical Peshitta translator
miswrote his translation as dyqy instead of ryqy ,and that no second or third translator did another translation or checked the
first one against the Greek original. The Peshitta was copied by scribes trained in their art in Monasteries to be exact and to
uphold the Massoretic tradition of verifying and making notes of all variants and spelling irregularities observed. The Greek
tradition was not nearly as rigorous and precise, as can be easily observed in the Greek mss. themselves.
Internal evidence also supports the Peshitta reading. Our Lord said the two disciples had stupid hearts in v. 25. The
Greek has the word Bradeiv Bradeiv Bradeiv Bradeiv Bradeis, meaning stupid. He did not say they had burning hearts. The Peshitta has
the same word there that it has here in v. 32- ryqy Yaqqir(Dull,stupid).
One Old Latin ms. has optusum (dull) & the famous Greek Uncial , Codex D (6
th
century) has kekalummenh
Kekalummenay covered.
The clincher in this kind of Aramaic-Greek variation is that we do not find that the Aramaic can be explained by a possible
slight difference between two Greek words which differ significantly in meaning [i.e. , epelayomhn epelayomhn epelayomhn epelayomhn epelathomayn (forgot)
& epelabomhn epelabomhn epelabomhn epelabomhn -epelabomayn,(took) or spilas (ledge) & spilos (spot)] . We find the converse; we find in many cases
that we can explain the Greek reading(s) on the basis of an Aramaic word which may have been misinterpreted or read
differently by a translator and which accounts for the Greek text or more than one Greek text.
The data support the concept that The Greek text is a translation of The Aramaic , and not versa-vice.

We have every cause to rejoice.
He Who walked with the two on the road to Emmaus walks with us.
Let us not walk in unbelief and sadness as they did.
He is risen and returned victorious from the greatest war ever waged

The Gospel Of John

(From The original Peshitta in Aramaic, the language of Jesus)
To read the translation, read the parentheses with blue English words from rightmost parentheses first ,then left of that
, etc..Each Aramaic word is followed by its English equivalent.

Chapter 1

Verse 1:
4 3 2 1
(The Word) atlm (had been) awh (existing) yhwtya (In the Origin * ** *) tysrb

15 14 13 12 11
(Word) atlm (That) wh (was) awh (Himself) yhwtya (& God) ahlaw

John 1:1 has 15 Aramaic words. In this first verse ,I have numbered the English translation next to each Aramaic word in the proper
reading order:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
In the origin existing had been The Word and That Word had been existing with God and God Himself was That Word.

This shows how to read the interlinear; Matthew 1:1 has the same illustatration. The reader can follow this pattern
and read through the Gospels in this way. He or she will be able to get a good sense of the meaning of the original Gospels.
A few changes in some word order will make the English prose translation smoother:

In the origin The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and That Word was Himself God.
That is a very literal translation and is still quite readable.
* ** * The first verse in John harks back to the first verse of the Bible- Genesis 1:1.BRashith cannot refer to The beginning,in
the sense of time, as time did not exist In the beginning, any more than the sun existed In the beginning.This term can also
refer to the head, fount, origin or source. We cannot accurately say , God created the universe in the beginning of
time. Time is part of creation as well as matter, therefore, Berashith here in John and in Gen. 1:1 must refer to a timeless
state or event, otherwise known as Eternity. The Wordis eternal, having been in Eternity apart from time, space and
matter. The existence of Miltha, translated, The Word, is independent of all time, space and matter and is not only at
The Source, but He is The Source of the universe which is comprised of Time,Space and Matter.The Apostle Paul later
refers to The Messiah as Rashith- The Sourceand John writes in Rev. 3 that He is Shuraia dBeryatha-The Origin
of creation.
2: 2: 2: 2:

Translation & Commentary:
1 In the origin The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and God Himself was That
Word.

Verse one is the most powerful statement concerning the nature of Godhead and its relationship to The Christ in the scriptures.
The Word is a Person-He was -awh yhwtya (pronounced-Ithwaa)is used three times as the predicate for Miltha-
The Word, which is normally feminine in gender, indicating the masculine gender of Him Who is The Word;He is Eternal-
In the origin( a point at which no time and space existed), an individual Being distinct from God- with God and also
eternally & intimately related and bound to The Deity- with God.
The word God is variously used in scripture. Sometimes it designates the unified corporate nature of Deity HEAR, O
ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.. Deut. 6:4 . The confession of Israel was not simply There is One
God, but God is One. This indicates that God is plural; the Hebrew word for God (Elohim) is a plural word indicating
three or more Mighty ones. The translation of Elohim is usually singular, indicating solidarity of nature , will and action on
the part of the Godhead. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen. 1:26,27.
There God speaks as a corporate entity with Let us make , our image, our likeness; God also speaks as one and is spoken
of as He and His image , in v. 27. Thus God is plural and unified or even an individual: The Word is with God, and
God Himself is The Word.
This word God deserves deep thought and consideration to avoid confusion at the onset of this great gospel and elsewhere.
God , according to Genesis (& we should look to Genesis as the model and primer of all that doctrine , history , law and
gospel that is to follow, It lays the foundation of all to come), God, I say , is corporate, based on the plural word Elohim
which occurs thousands of times in the original ,inspired, ancient Hebrew Bible. This is also accompanied with the use by God
Himself,(I am tempted to say God themselves) of 1
st
person plural personal pronouns We, Us, Our in referring to
Himself ,(themselves) while also speaking to God .

Ge 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.
Ge 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Isa 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me
Ge 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will
be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one anothers speech.
There is no doubt that Genesis 1:26 is correct in its current form; no doubt, all the above texts are in their original form, and
they contain the same 1
st
person plural personal pronouns .
Now some unbelievers claim that this is an ancient idiom called the Plural of majesty. A king might employ this in referring
to himself as we or us. That may very well be an ancient idiom for men, but since when does God conform to human
idioms ?
This custom would of course entail human speech or writing to other humans. In what case would God have use for this custom
of speech or writing ? To whom was He speaking before He made Adam ? Was He speaking to angels ? Of course not; they had
no part in creating anything. Was he speaking to them simply of Himself in the plural of majesty ? It seems ridiculous to
imagine it.
I dont believe He whose Name is Truth would speak deceptively as if He were more than one if He were indeed alone.
But He speaks as more than one from the beginning. So we can see that God is plural- a corporate unity. God usually refers
to this Corporate Unity of Three Persons The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. Each Divine Person is also called God in
scripture.
An analogy would be a family name. My family name is Bauscher. Bauscher could refer to the whole family or to any one
of its 14 members, not to mention all Bauscher relatives.
So God can refer to The God Family of The Three Divine Persons or to any One of the Three. In John 1:1 , the word
God is used both ways. The Word was with The God Family and His name was God.

2 This One Himself was at the Source with God.

The Word s personality is emphasized here and from v.1 onward, This One Himself .
At the Source refers to the eternal state. Time & space had not been made, as with the first statement of the Bible. We must
remember that time is a creation as well as are space & matter. The Biblical In the beginning means not the first moment in
time; it refers to a logical point at which time space & matter do not exist and it can have no reference to chronology
whatsoever.
Again, the distinct individual Being- with God and eternally intimately related and bound to The Deity- with God aspect
is repeated. This is because The Holy Spirit is about to reiterate the absolute Deity of The Word as The Sovereign Creator .
3 Everything was in His hand; and without Him not even one thing existed of the things that existed.

The Word is Sovereign Everything was in His hand, meaning He had absolute Divine power and control over the universe.
The Word is also The uncreated Creator of all things: without Him not even one thing existed of the things that existed.
The Word is not a creature of God; He cannot have created Himself; it is a contradiction of terms to say that He created
Himself.
He is God; God is eternal and uncreated; yet there are many cultists who believe The Son of God is a creation of God , and
thus,infinitely inferior to Him. Such a view is not the faith revealed in the scriptures of The Holy Spirit Of God and is
blasphemy against the LORD Christ Who laid down His Divinity and Divine Self as a sacrifice for all people of all time for all
eternity.
3 In Him were The Lives; and the Lives are the light of men.

In Genesis 2:7 , the Hebrew word Myyx Khaiyim is first found , which literally means, lives, plural of life.
The Aramaic word ayx Khaiya is a cognate of Myyx ; ayx is also plural, though usually translated as singular from both
languages. Here I have translated it as plural ,Lives, to convey the fulness of That Life which is spoken of by The Holy
Spirit.
All Life is in THE WORD.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Our LORD said He is THE LIFE. That means all life is in Him and apart from Him there can be no life.
John 1:4 Is not saying merely that the Word is living; that can be said of a spider & a Dandelion . The meaning is that the
Word is the source and constant Sustainer of all life (lives). Consider that if He is THE LIFE, there is no other; therefore , even
His Fathers Life is in The Son, called The Word. Life is an organic , systemic, corporate whole, inhering in The WORD. It is
not made up of parts; it is an integral part of The Godhead in The WORD and all living beings depend every moment on His
quickening power and Life to exist.
If the Word is THE LIFE, or LIFE itself, and that is certainly the meaning of the above listed scriptures, then The Father
and God of our LORD Jesus Christ has no Life outside of His Son and cannot live without His Jesus, His Only One.
This certainly throws a whole new and brilliant light on the statement , God so loved the world, that He gave His Son,His
Only One, John 3:16 and again, (AV) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down his life for us: and we
ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.- 1 John 3:16.
Dont you love how the two John 3:16s say essentially this same thing !!?The second one is even clearer than the first:
God laid down His Life for us ! That is a statement of the gospel so powerful in itself that it would literally raise the dead if
preached to them clearly. Does other scripture verify this?

28 (ARABIC) .
The above verses are versions of Acts 20:28 from Greek, Aramaic, Latin and even Arabic. They all say ,feed the church of
God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
A few Greek mss. have Church of The Lord, the vast majority (1000s) have the church of God.
Above, all blue underlined words are God, in all languages, Greek,Aramaic,Latin & Arabic, as well as English. Red words
are His blood.
Another verse comes from the Peshitta Aramaic; Murdocks translation of the Peshitta comes first:
(MUR) But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his
death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, tasted death for all men.

I have been studying The Peshitta since the year 2000 . I am fully convinced that it is the original text of the NT of which all
Greek manuscripts are translations. Aramaic was the language of Israel in the first century and had been for six centuries; it
remained so for many centuries afterward, whereas Greek had never been spoken by Palestinian Jews.
The manuscripts of The Peshitta were much more carefully preserved than Greek mss., in the manner & tradition of the
Hebrew mss. of the OT scribes. This is another sign of the original text. There are scarcely any differences between the mss. of
the Aramaic Peshitta (Peshitta means, straight, simple, plain). Some mss are practically identical to each other
throughout, though separated by centuries .
Greek mss. have some grammatical errors and poor word usage . The Peshitta contains no such errors, and yet it has been
supposed by Western scholars to be a translation of The Greek NT and The Greek is supposed to be the original !

The Church of The East has held The Peshitta to be the original NT from the hands of the apostles for as long as it is known
to have existed. Few in the West have even heard of The Church Of The East or The Peshitta, but there are writings of Eastern
scholars and church fathers as early as the 3
rd
century who quote The Peshitta verbatim exactly as it exists today!
There are several passages that say in all versions, The Christ died for us, The death of His Son, The Lords death,
etc..
These are theological statements concerning eternal ,Divine events , not mere human history. They tell us that Heaven
intervened in human history and that The King of Heaven interposed His precious blood to ransom Adams helpless race.
Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever.

5 And the light is shining in the darkness; and the darkness mastered it not.
6 There was a man sent from God; his name was John.
7 He came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that everyone by him should believe.
8 He was not The Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 For That One was the Light of Truth , which enlightens every person that comes into the world.

Here , The Word is called The Light of Truth, which is much more pointed and instructive than the traditional true light
translation. The Light of Truth means that The Light is The Truth, and so He is. (John 14:6)
The gospel is also stated here: He enlightens every person . The Light is The Truth; The Truth is The Christ. Everyone
shall see Him (Rev. 1:7) and be saved
Isa 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Hebrews 12:4 (AV) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
For all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.Hebrews 8:11
Isa 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Jer 24:7 And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
Eze 34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my
people, saith the Lord GOD.
Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Jer 31:34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember
their sin no more.
Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath
learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Verse 7 says that the testimony of the Light was so that all people should believe. Every true believer, like John The Baptist,
wants nothing more than for all people to believe in Jesus. It should be our purpose for being on the earth. But even more
important is the need for us who call ourselves by the name Christian to believe in Jesus Christ. He certainly wills all men to
be saved -1 Timothy 2:4. How great a Savior do you serve and trust ? Is His will frustrated by puny mans will ? Is man the
victor over The Christ and God ? Perish the thought ! How foolish and stupid is the pessimist who says so. Such a man or
woman has no faith in Christ or the gospel !
The Christ we serve is Mighty to save and The Savior of the world or no savior at all. I do not serve and worship a loser.
Read Romans 5:18 & 1 Cor 15:22
10 He was in the world, and the world existed by His hand, and the world knew him not.

Incredible this statement of The incarnation of The Creator, unrecognized by the world of men He Created in His image.
What a disappointment to Him the world must be, for it does not recognize Him still. He dwells within all children and in His
followers who love and obey Him, yet the world is at best indifferent toward Him for the most part; hostile not infrequently.
One would have hoped two thousand years had improved mans spiritual capacity and grace to love and discern truth and its
Spirit, yet it seems to have improved little. I pray I am not guilty of slighting Him where I have seen Him, nor of blindness to
His presence in the least of these, His brothers. May God open our eyes and our hearts to our Savior and Life who dwells
humbly always in the most humble of abodes, where we least expect to find Him.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Is The Holy One telling you what he is telling me ? That the Christian church today does not receive The Christ it
professes to love and worship ? This plague of blindness and hypocrisy, narrow mindedness and shriveling of hearts
began almost as soon as Christianity was born, for we read in Revelation 3:20:

(AV) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.
Here The Son of God addresses a first century church, established by an apostle, in a letter from Heaven dictated word for
word, that John would write and send to the Christians at Laodicea, telling them that their Lord is outside the church, knocking
and calling to see if anyones at home ! He seeks admission to His own church- to His own people ! If this was so then, the
scene can scarcely be as good today, much less , better. We have had no fresh baptisms of fire and apostolic preaching and
miracles, or testimony of eyewitnesses of the risen and ascended Christ as they had.
Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, My brethren, you have done it
unto Me.(Mt. 25:40)
O , Lord Jesus, have pity on our poor souls or wipe the earth clean of such a travesty and tragedy as a so called Christian
church that shuts you out and rewards and honors those who not only do not recognize you, but hate and persecute You.
12 But those that received him, to them gave he authority to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Notice that the new birth comes from God and it comes before we can believe in His Name: to them that believe
(present tense) on his name -which were begotten ,(or born) (past tense).
This shows that the new birth came before the faith and laid the basis & the capacity for faith. Born or begotten is a passive
verb. It is something done to us by God, prior to anything we can do for Him, including our believing in Him. It is called
birth because that is what it is. None of us had a choice in his or her birth. We hadnt even the capacity for a choice. That is
the whole point of verse 13. Our wills and fleshly minds cannot reach up to God. They are dead by comparison to His Life;
dead to the Spirit , dead to Truth, dead to righteousness, dead to The Love and Glory of God and Heaven. That which is born
of the flesh is flesh, said The Truth. Do not be surprised I said to you, You must be born again-John 3:3-7.Again, God does
this of His own initiative. Jesus was not telling Nicodemus to do something. Like so many religious people, Nicodemus did not
need to hear that he must do something more to inherit salvation. He needed to know that he could do nothing; that salvation
is all of God; we are completely inept and undone before God. He must do it all, or that which is called salvation cannot be
called salvation. It is works, even if it be called faith and accepting Christ, the new birth, etc.. Salvation is by grace (a free gift
which God purchased) through faith, and even that is not of yourselves, it is also the gift of God, not of works, lest any
man should boast-Ephesians 2:8,9.
God knows, in spite of all that the apostles wrote for us, there is even now a great spirit of pride in the churches, as if we are
Christians by some merit of our own.
Many have the spirit of the Pharisee who prayed thus with himself: Thank you God that I am not as other men, I tithe, I fast,
I pray, and am not as this miserable publican over there.-See Luke 18:11,12 . Jesus said that man was not righteous in Gods
sight, while the publican was !
How God must grow weary of hearing it all, even the thoughts of the hearts of men !
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.

The incarnation has baffled theologians and disciples for 2000 years. We dont know how to classify this phenomenon and this
man Jesus, as the event is unprecedented and He is certainly unique. Yet everyone has a theory or concept of this and many
doctrines and church denominations are based on one of various theological explanations of the incarnation and nature of
Christs Person. I too have a view of this which may be different from what others have put forward. Maybe someone will find
it in a 1500 year old treatise from Syria on the subject; I dont know. I dont think I have read any view, orthodox or heretical
that does justice to the Person of Christ and to the scriptures as I understand Him and them.
Let us start with what John says about it: The Word was with God in the beginning and The Word was God. This Word was
The Sovereign Lord who created all things and was uncreated Himself, giving Life to all living, as He was The Life , The Light
and the Truth which enlightens all human beings. This Word came into the world and was unrecognized by His people, the
Jews, and people in general. His form and appearance were very human and not overwhelming in power and glory as we might
expect from a Divine being, which actually gave occasion for ridicule and rejection of Him by those who knew Him, even his
brothers and sisters.
Then we come to verse 14: And the Word became flesh. Lets take that next. We can make a syllogism of v. 1 and v.14 a
third statement logically substituting one of two equivalent terms for the other. Verse 1 says, The Word was God. If The
Word = God , then we can substitute one for the other ; in the case of verse 14, I will substitute God for The Word:
And God became flesh. This should be as accurate as the original statement, while also giving a bit more clarity and light to
the statement in its context. By God, of course, we designate The Word, and not The Godhead, nor any other Person of the
Godhead than This One Person, The Word. Yet do we find a great truth that has never before this statement been declared,

that God could and did become a human being. The word flesh is a metaphor (a synecdoche) for human being. It is so used
by God in Hebrew and Aramaic scripture and by people of those cultures.
Ge 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
De 5:26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we
have, and lived?
Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Ps 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
Ps 136:25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Ps 145:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath
spoken it.
Isa 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of
the field:
Isa 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with
sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
And God became a human.This is an extremely radical statement, for God has always been thought to be diametrically
opposite to the human nature. How could God become human and remain God ? God has always been thought to be omniscient
, omnipotent and omnipresent ib Christian theology; indeed scripture declares these things in Old & New Testaments . How
could He become human and remain God ? He could not not in the common meaning of the word God, for it would involve
a contradiction in terms. If we apply another meaning, similar to the distinction we applied in v. 1, we can understand , with
elucidation from other scripture, the nature of the incarnation and how The Word retained His identity as God while
becoming human. As we saw in v. 1, God can refer to the Godhead Trinity , involving the attributes and nature of Deity
which The Divine Persons share in common. The other meaning can refer to an individual Person of the Trinity, signifying His
unique personality and identity; v. 1 uses both meanings as we saw.
It is a mistake to apply the general meaning to verse 14 or to the incarnation doctrine. The incarnation did not involve the nature
of Deity becoming a man, which is nonsense; it involved God in the sense of a particular Divine Person (The Word) , naming
Him specifically and His unique identity and self. Verse 14 is telling us that the unique identity and Person of the Godhead
managed to become human , which would necessarily involve a radical change in nature, yet retained His identity and
personality- His same self , whose Name is God.
He gave up His Divine attributes and nature, as written in Philippians 2:8-11, to become an obedient servant and mortal man
Who would die on a cross. Scripture does not teach us that Jesus was omniscient and omnipotent during the days of his flesh
(Hebrews 5:7) . Yet there are many who believe that Jesus was. Try to make sense of this when you consider an infant in a
manger Who knows all things and is running the universe, yet needs His diapers changed !
Luke says, He grew in wisdom How could an omniscient mind increase in wisdom ?
James says (1:13) God cannot be tempted. Matthew , Mark & Luke say , Jesus was tempted of the Devil.
Isaiah wrote ,(40:28) The LORD fainteth not , neither is weary. John wrote, (4:6) (ASV) and Jacobs well was there.
Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
I could go on with the list. The point I am making is not that Jesus was not God; He was and is God, but during the days of
His flesh, He was God in a different form See Phillip. 2:8,9. God The Son changed form to become human while remaining
Himself. He laid aside His power , knowledge, omnipresence and glory. He left that all with His Father and the Holy Spirit and
became lower than the angels, according to Hebrews 2:9. This was a temporary loss for Him, so that He could prove His love
and reveal His great heart and true character to man for all the ages to see. Gods deepest and most essential nature and being is
LOVE. He wanted to suffer the loss of all else- even the glory and power men worship in God, to show a more excellent and
Divine glory that He could only reveal in weakness, suffering (real suffering, not staged), and death the death of His Person
and the death of all Deity and ALL LIFE, for the redemption of the world and to make a new creation, wherein dwells the
knowledge of God as He really is.
Still He waits. I pray He need not wait too much longer.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred
before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten God, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.


* In the Peshitta The only begotten God ahla aydyxy (ikhidya Alaha) can account for the variant Greek readings:
monogenhv Yeov- (Only begotten God) and monogenhv uiov -(Only begotten Son); The Aramaic text can mean
Only begotten God or Only begotten Son of God.

I truly believe v.18 means that mankind has never known Who God is. Jesus, God The Only Begotten, The Word, has
expounded God unto the world when He emptied Himself of all but LOVE , suffered ,bled and died for Adams helpless
race.(And Can It Be ?-Charles Wesley)
He was saying, This is who God is and was and ever shall be. Believe Me, He who has seen Me has seen My Father. You
must trust in Him. God is just like I am.
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

May we hear This WORD made flesh and read HIM and handle HIM gaze upon Him (1 John 1:1-4) so that our fellowship
is truly with the real God and His Son Jesus The Messiah.
And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we
might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal. 1 John5:20 (Murdock)

This study uncovers possible evidence supporting a very early Greek translation of The Peshitta (1
St
Century A.D.)
John 1:28

*[ Some Greek mss. have Bethabara for Bethany. Bethabara is probably a misreading of the Aramaic text aynetyb ,
where the Greek translator copied tyb from Bethany (the blue word meaning house in the blue and red Aramaic word
above, and then his eye went to arbe (Abara) ,which is colored red in the Aramaic text, since arbe & ayne both start with
the same letter , have four letters and end with the same letter Alap, and can look very similar in the square Aramaic
characters. The second and third letters in arbe (abara) are essentially extended forms of the second and third letters of
ayne (anya) .
These are the Aramaic words ayne (anya) & arbe (abara) from Dead Sea Scroll photos of Aramaic characters in The
Great Isaiah Scroll :. .) )) ) ) )) )y yy y y yy yn nn n n nn n( (( ( ( (( ( ) )) ) ) )) )r rr r r rr rb bb b b bb b( (( ( ( (( (
This is strong evidence that the Received Greek mss. were originally translations from Aramaic mss. written in early 1
st

century Aramaic. The Estrangela script was developed later (circa A.D. 100) and the characters in question do not look as
similar: 0r 0r 0r 0rb9 b9 b9 b9 & 0y 0y 0y 0yn9 . n9 . n9 . n9 .
This is support for a first century Aramaic New Testament written in the square Aramaic script like that of The Dead Sea
Scrolls, and also a first century Greek translation of that Aramaic NT text, represented by the type of Greek manuscripts which
the King James Bible translators used for their NT translation.There are other like examples I have cited elsewhere, supporting
the very same conclusion.]

And they said, Our Master, where are you staying ?

Nbr (our Master) : The Greek texts have a transliteration of Nbr - rabbi -(Rabbi) , an Aramaic word, with a following translation
of the same : o legetai ermhneuomenon didaskale (which is translated ,Teacher).
John has six instances of this, each of which is evidence that the original was Aramaic and the Greek is a translation
(ermhneuomenon) of Aramaic.The Peshitta, of course, has no such translation in any of these six places in John.

* The Peshitta has Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh Those where all the Greek texts have duo duo duo duo Two.
In Aramaic - N{{$$(y {{$$(y{{$$(y {{$$(yrt tt t is Two. The He- h and Tau- t in Aramaic script are easily mistaken one for the other, as are
Yodh {{$$ {{$$ {{$$ {{$$ &( ( ( ( y yy y and Waw w ww w (See photo samples from Dead Sea Scrolls for these letters below).
DSS script: }wnh & }yrt
The Resh and Nun are not as easily mistaken, however they are not very unlike each other, the Resh having two of the three
strokes of the Nun. This similarity could easily account for the Greek reading - duo duo duo duo -Two in all the Greek texts. The Great
Isaiah Scroll shows that early Aramaean copyists would interchange Waws and Yodhs between consonants without changing
word meaning. The Great Isaiah Scroll widely employed Aramaic orthography and spelling throughout the scroll.

If this explanation is valid, it is evidence that a Greek translation was made from an early Aramaic script of square characters
like those I have printed above. This script was not used by Aramaean scribes after the first century A.D. .
To argue the reverse scenario (Greek affected the Peshitta reading) one would no doubt need to make the case for a late
Aramaic square character in use, when Estrangela was the current script , and a mistranslation of duo duo duo duo Two ,to Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh
Those an explanation that is no explanation at all ! No Peshitta (or Old Syriac ms.) has Ny yy yrt tt t at John 1:40 . All have Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh Nwnh

The Peshitta can account for the Greek reading.The Greek cannot account for The Peshitta reading.

(his brother) yhwxa (Shimeon) Nwemsl (first) Mdqwl (saw) azx (This one) anh
(The Messiah) axysml (we have found Him) yhynxksa (to him) hl (& he said) rmaw

This one first saw Shimeon his brother and he said to him: We have found The Messiah.
The Greek text of the ending of this verse says this: eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton eurhkamen ton mesian o estin meyermhneuomenon mesian o estin meyermhneuomenon mesian o estin meyermhneuomenon mesian o estin meyermhneuomenon cristov cristov cristov cristov
(ASV) We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). The Greek word mesian (Majority) or messian
(Westcott & Hort) is a transliteration of the Aramaic speech of Andrew and of 1
st
century Palestine : axysm (Meshikha or
Meshiha). The Hebrew word xysm (Meshiach) is almost identical, though we know Aramaic was the native tongue of
Palestine at the time. The Greek text follows this word Messian (Messiah) with a translation (which being translated is
Christ.) The Greek word cristov is declared here to be a translation of the original Aramaic word (transliterated in Greek
letters as mesian). But cristov is the source behind the English word Christ; cristov occurs 565 times throughout
the Greek NT in every book except 3 John !
Logically, we would have to conclude that Greek Johns writer is telling us that wherever cristov occurs, we are reading
a translation of our Lords original title (axysm-Meshikha). His disciples did not speak Greek; neither did the people of
Israel. By the way, Greek John 4:25 has the same formula as this verse: the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
The Peshitta text has no such translation in either reference !
The Greek NT has , in Christos, at least 565 witnesses to the Greek NT as a translation !

And he brought him to Jesus and Jesus gazed at him and He said: You are Shimeon, Son
of Jonah; You shall be called Kaypha (a Stone).

* Nwems -Shimeon occurs 165 times in the Peshitta NT. The Greek equivalents Simwn& Simewn (Simon &
Shimeon) occur only 82 times ! Often the Greek Name, Petrov- Petros is used instead. The Greek of this verse ,
however, retains the Aramaic Shimeon and Kaypha, which it then explains with the words : khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai
petro petro petro petrov vv v Cephas , which is translated Petros. Here the Greek text declares that the name Petros is a translation of the
Aramaic name Kaypha. We here find hard evidence, and in 160 other places where this Greek name occurs, that the Greek
NT is translated from Aramaic ! Naturally, the Peshitta has no similar translation from Greek to Aramaic, here or anywhere
else. Repeat the above statement several times and ponder it: The Greek text declares itself to be translated from Aramaic !

(of Man) asnad (The son) hrb (unto) twl (& descend) Nytxnw


[Note: Amen in Aramaic has two basic meanings: Eternal and True. This double use is unique to Johns Gospel and is
used only by our Lord, indicating a very important revelation of eternal doctrine from The Eternal LORD Yeshua.It occurs 25
times in Johns Gospel.]
He said to him: Timeless truth I speak to you all: From this hour you shall see Heaven
being opened and the angels of God as they ascend and descend unto The Son of Man.

This Man called Jesus The Messiah is the most astonishing Being ever encountered, and the most mysterious. If we think we
know Him well, we are surely deceived. No man has ever seen God , wrote John. I believe he speaks of understanding God,
or properly knowing Him. We are finite beings; even angels desired to look into the things concerning Christs suffering ,
death and resurrection glory.We shall never fathom Him.
Here in the last section he astonishes Nathaniel with prophecy; Nathaniel confesses that Jesus is The Son of God, and Jesus says
that Phillip hasnt seen anything yet.
It is not enough to know Jesus as The Son of God; He is more than that ! How can that be ? , you might say. I believe Jesus is
The Son of God, born of a virgin, anointed of The Holy Spirit, etc. , etc. That is not Who He is. That is a theological statement.
John presents the transcendent Christ; a Christ Who is so large , so great, so infinite, that glimpses of His true identity are
blinding bursts of supernova like light. 25 times John records Jesus saying Amen, Amen, I speak to you. No other gospel
or book has this statement; no other Person utters it but The Christ. It means Eternal Truth I tell you. It is a statement of
absolute authority. No man ever spoke like this Man, said one of the Temple priests. He speaks with authority, not as the
scribes., said the common people. Where does this authority come from?, the Jews asked.
More importantly, John also records another unique phrase 25 times in His Gospel : The Aramaic has it Ena Na. It means, I
AM, literally. It is an Aramaic phrase from The Old Testament that 97% of the time refers to the name of God and comes from
the mouth of God Himself: I AM The LORD. ; I AM The LORD your God., etc.. In John, Jesus alone utters this phrase,
usually followed by a description or definition of His Person:
I AM THE LIGHT of the world; I AM THE BREAD of LIFE. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD., etc..
Here in verse 51, Jesus says something that should confuse and astound the most devout believer. You will see Heaven is
being opened the angels of God Ascending and descending unto the Son of Man.
What He has said is : I am on earth and I am in Heaven- omnipresent God and a limited man. I am a man here on earth and I am
Jehovah The Eternal in Heaven at all times. I dont understand how this can be , but He describes the angels coming to Him on
earth and also coming to Him in Heaven, all apparently simultaneously !
And so, He has got my attention. I want to know Him better, and I will. When I do, I will discover another mystery (something
that is unknown).
Think about it; it is not what you know that piques your curiosity; it is the thing you dont know. We should be discovering that
we dont know something. That will draw us to seek Him out :
Our Master, where do you live? They said.
The answer will be the same for you as is was for those first disciples:
Come and see.

(My hour) ytes (has come) tta (quite) lykde (not) al (woman) attna

* What to me & to you ? is an Aramaic idiom meaning: What do we have in common?- clearly a bit of humor from Jesus
toward his mother.Notice that He did respond to her request by performing His first miracle.
Jesus said to her, What do we have in common, woman ? My hour has not quite come yet.
Remember that for thirty years, our Lord had performed no miracle; He was an obscure and humble Person
Who patiently waited for His appointed time to serve publicly in Israel. Those thirty years of silence
and obscurity are in a very real sense more miraculous than the last three years of His earthly Life, considering Who He was
and is. Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. (Isaiah 45:15)
. The patience and humility of God are far more surprising and unbelievable to men than His miracles, and these are stumbling
blocks to the faith of many, if not all of us. Consider how many would have believed in Him had He never performed a miracle;
consider also the grief of His heart, knowing that so many , if not all, of those who professed faith, believed only in the outward
signs, but did not know Him. Our Lord knew that to begin performing miracles would be to come out of hiding,(out of character
for God) and that would also make Him suscepible to misunderstanding and false devotion, when His usual design is to make
men seek after Him Who hides, and recognize Him in His disguises.

This is the first miracle Jesus did in Qatna of Galilee and He manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.
Every miracle of Jesus is called Atha- ata -A Sign. As such, we are to look for a valuable lesson being taught in the Sign.
Water being turned to wine is a creative act, certainly pointing to Gods presence and power as Creator. Water is common and
cheap; wine is rare and expensive; water is a necessity of life;wine is a luxury that signifies joy and celebration. God delights in
our joy and happiness, more than we can know, and begrudges us no joy. Notice that Jesus made over 100 gallons of wine,
possibly 160 gallons of the very best wine possible (The MC noticed it was better than the best, which he thought had already
been served, and undoubtedly it had). That is a lot of wine ! God is no tee-totaler ! He is almost mad with joy and abandon, not
a Stoic or Ascetic, as some imagine. Jesus would become known as a wine drinker and a glutton to the Pharisees and Scribes !
The water of purification would be externally used in a ritual cermony ; Wine is applied internally. Our Lord was always more
interested in mans inner life and what is inside a man than in externals. True religion is concerned with the state of the soul ,
spirit and mind, whereas much of what is religious is concerned with everything but the internal life. There is nothing wrong
with ceremony, as long as we dont lose the realities they signify: The Spirit, The Truth, Love, Joy, Righteousness, Peace,
Heaven and God Himself.
Do not be afraid of joy , laughter and life. These are Gods lavish gifts He pours out to overflowing upon us and wants us to
enjoy.Have you ever considered that men might be judged , not for enjoying life too much, but not enough ?

Jesus had no patience for self serving religion and irreverence toward God. The glory of His Father and His goodness and love
were everything to The Son of God, and He was always grieved how little men knew of it and believed in it. He also knew how
much His Father would sacrifice for the salvation of the world, and could not tolerate shallowness and spiritual stupidity in
those who were supposed to be teaching the people and leading them closer to God.

The temple Priests and Pharisees were literalists; they had no spiritual understanding. There are many today professing to be
Christians who take everything very literally and miss the rich spiritual truths of scripture- (primarily a spiritual record of
historical events with immense spiritual depth of meaning and power).

And He did not need a man to testify to Him about everyone, for He Himself knew what is in a man.
Still Jesus knows who ,among those who call themselves believers and Christians, actually knows Him
and can be trusted. The important question every professor of religion must ask is not, Do I believe
in God ? , but Does God believe in me? There were many whom He did not trust in Jerusalem almost 2000 years ago, even
among those who believed in Him.
Does Jesus trust in you ?

Jesus answered and said to him: Timeless truth I am telling you : If a person is not born again, it is impossible for that one to
see the kingdom of God.

* ** * [Again- syrd Nm -Min dreesh literally means From the top.]
A person has no control or decision concerning his or her conception and birth. Birth is a result of a former act of the parents
and of God. The verb Metilled(Born) is passive , indicating that birth , whether physical or spiritual, is an action
performed upon the subject, not by him.
Our Lord never intended to instruct or exhort Nicodemus to be born again. Jesus was telling him that Nicodemus was
spiritually dead and knew nothing about God and His kingdom. No one knows God by instruction and education; One obtains
this by a new birth from The Holy Spirit, straight from God Himself, according to His choice and purpose.

Nicodemus said to Him: How can an old man be born? Is it not impossible for him again to enter
his mothers womb a second time and be born ?
Nicodemus asked, How ?. Jesus did not tell him how to do this; He said it is beyond us entirely
and is unpredictable (see v.8).

Jesus answered and said to him: Timeless truth I am telling you: If a person is not born from water and The Spirit, it is impossible
that he shall enter the kingdom of God.
[ Note: Amen in Aramaic has two basic meanings: Eternal and True. This double (Amen, Amen) use is unique to Johns
Gospel in The N.T. and is used only by our Lord, indicating a very important revelation of eternal doctrine from The Eternal
LORD Yeshua.]

6:

(from) Nm (& that which is born)- [ dylyd Mdmw ] (is) wh (flesh) arob

That which is born from flesh is flesh, and that which is born from The Spirit is spirit.
Man needs a spiritual nature in order to know eternal truth and God Himself. This can come only by a spiritual birth. Flesh
(the human nature) cannot produce a spiritual nature or a spiritual life.
7:

Do not be surprised that I said to you that you all must be born again.
Our Lord Yeshua stated that Israels leaders and its people (plural you) required this spiritual second birth. Their religion
had provided them with nothing but darkness and death. They were spiritually dead- all of them.

(the wind-[The Spirit]) axwr (from) Nm (who is born) dylyd (everyone) snlk (is) yhwtya

The Spirit breathes where He will, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes
and where He goes; thus is everyone who is born from The Spirit.

Most of what is called evangelism in the western culture ignores this truth of scripture and betrays itself as ignorant and
deceptive folly. We cannot program and orchestrate the new birth and produce Christians who have eternal life in them, yet
there are many who have been deceived into believing that they can choose to be born again and command the presence of The
Spirit of Holiness by a word, as if He were a genie , awaiting our orders. That is blasphemy and unbelief, not Christian faith.
The Holy One breathes where He will, not where we will. We must humble ourselves before the Almighty Spirit if we ever
expect to experience His presence and grace of salvation.


There are seven double meanings in verse eight, deriving from Rukha (Spirit-Wind), Nashab (breathe,blow) and Qola
(voice,sound) and their pronouns.Red brackets enclose the preferred translations.No wonder Nicodemus was confused, as the
next verse indicates.
9: 9: 9: 9:
(& said) rmaw (Nicodemus) owmdqyn (answered) ane
How?) ankya (to him) hl

Nicodemus answered and said to Him, How can these things be ?
10:

(you ?) tna (know) edy (not) al (& these things) Nylhw

Jesus answered and said to him: You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things ?
Here Jesus reproves Nicodemus for his sad ignorance and stupidity. Do not these words apply to all Judaism and Christianity
today ? How many recognize the Sovereignty of The Holy Spirit and His Divine prerogative in selecting whom He will
regenerate and whom He will not ?How many know that His children are born, not of blood , nor the will of a man, nor the
will of the flesh, but of God ? The Apostle Paul wrote: Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we had done, but
according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, also, Ro
10:3 For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have
not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. James wrote: Of His own will He has begotten us by the word of
truth, that we should be the first fruits of His creation. James 1:18
11:

Timeless truth I speak to you : The things that We know We are speaking and the things that We see
We are testifying, and Our testimony you all do not accept.

Israel rejected the direct first hand accounts of God Himself and of His Son. Notice that Yeshua Meshikha
did not deliver second hand truth from His God; when he spoke of God and His works and words, Yeshua
said We and Our. This Man spoke as if He were God Himself. It recalls Genesis 1:26:
And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness.
Do we really understand Who this Man Yeshua really is ? To whom could He have been referring when he said, We and Our ?
But He always referred to His Father and Himself together as if He were always a part of Him. To reject The Son is to reject
God.
12:

(shall you believe me) ynnwnmyht (that which is in Heaven) aymsbd

If I have told all of you that which is in the earth and you are not believing , how shall you
believe Me if I tell you that which is in Heaven ?

Interesting that Meshikha (Aramaic for The Messiah) considered the new birth teaching and The
work of The Holy Spirit as that which is in the earth. What could He have to teach us about Heaven ?
Would we believe Him ? Actually the New Testament teaches some pretty amazing truths about Heaven,
which most professing Christians do not believe, in my humble opinion, but I will not discuss those things here.

13:

And no man has gone up to Heaven except He Who went down from Heaven: The Son of Man
-He Who is in Heaven.

I am amazed at this; that Yeshua spoke of Himself as having come down from Heaven and yet being in Heaven. We normally think
of His incarnation as limiting Him to one location at a time, like all humans, yet, He says He is in both Heaven and earth at
once. See also 1:51 for the same truth.
14:

And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus The Son of Man is going to be lifted up.
This refers to His crucifixion, prophetically.

*[Aramaic contains no verb meaning to have. Nehwoon lah- (There shall be for him) is an idiom used to indicate
possession.]
So that every person who believes in Him shall not be lost, but eternal life shall be his.

Here is stated the purpose of His crucifixion.

everyone who trusts in Him shall not be lost , but eternal life shall be his.

For God did not send His Son into the world that He should condemn the world, but that he should
give life to the world by His hand.

Whoever believes in Him is not judged, and whoever does not believe is judged already, because he
does not believe in The Name of The Only Begotten Son of God.

Verses 16 through 18 of John 3 are perhaps the most succinct and powerful revelation of The Gospel message ,which makes the
Christian faith unique and infinitely higher than other faiths. The statement God so loved the world is unprecedented in all of
holy scripture and all religion. If He had said God hates the world, it would have not been much of a surprise. Mans
superstitious nature and understanding of revelation would have led him to suspect God was angry and vindictive towards the
world.
The Jews believed God loved Israel and was indifferent, at best , toward the Gentiles. The Gentiles , such as The Greeks and
Romans, thought the gods were generally indifferent toward men.None of the holy writ said anything close to God so loved the
world.But the statement goes on: That He would give up His only Son It had been a hidden truth that God had a Son; an
even deeper truth that he would give Him up. That those who trust in Him would have eternal life was never said or
written prior to this statement of Yeshua to Nicodemus. Lest any think God spared Himself by giving up His Son, let it be
remembered that The Son was an eternal and integral part of The Godhead; whatever transformation, suffering and death He
were to suffer would involve the entire Godhead, as The Godhead is an indisoluble whole and Unity. In giving His Son, God
gave Himself wholly up to us, as The Godhead is One.There can be no greater revelation of love than this, as there is no
greater love than that someone should lay down his life for his friend.
The parallel to the famous John 3:16 is 1 John 3:16: By this we know his love towards us, because He gave up his life for
us: and we also ought to give up our lives for our brethren.
Ntspn ltn Nyxa ypa led Nl qdz Nnx Paw Nyplx hspn bhy whd Ntwld hbwx Nnyedy adhb 16
God The Fathers love is no less great than that; He too gave up His Life for us; that Life is in His Son;
More specifically, that Life is His Son, according to the word of Yeshua: I am the Way, The Truth and The Life. There is no other
Life than He.
The design of the atonement is not to destroy or condemn the world; its design is to save the world. An almighty Deity Who so
designs and wills, even to the extreme of sacrificing Himself, cannot fail to secure
the desired goal. There is nothing even close to being comparable to Him in power, wisdom , understanding and eternal glory , to
oppose His will. We must then consider the redemption and salvation of the world done. One who denies this is not a believer,
but an unbeliever in Messiah and His atonement.
God has eternity on His side, not being confined to time at all, so that He can save in this world or in the eternal realm,
contrary to common belief of many Protestants that We have hope in Christ only in this life. See 1 Cor. 15: 19 :
And if, in this life only, we have hope in the Messiah, we are the most miserable of all men.
20 But now the Messiah hath risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
21 And as by a man came death, so also by a man came the reviviscence of the dead.
22 For as it was by Adam, that all men die, so also by the Messiah they all live.

This is the judgment: The Light has come into the world and the children of men loved the darkness
more than The Light, for their works were evil.
No more judgment than this is necessary. The wicked are wicked. Those who hate The Light seek darkness
and live in darkness. The deepest darkest and most fearful hell is what a wicked person may become within,
filled with hate, fear, rage ,madness and despair. What is more fearful a prospect: To go where demons live in a fiery pit, or to
become a demon, even while here on earth, and then to die in that condition ?

destroy the soul, but to save it. He is willing to destroy the body to save the spirit, if he must. That is not a pleasant prospect, to
say the least.

*[Ena Na in Aramaic is almost always a reference to The Name of God and is used to indicate direct discourse from the
mouth of God Himself: I AM THAT I AM- Exodus 3:14, where God reveals His Name as I AM- Ahiah, in Hebrew and
Aramaic. Johns Gospel contains 25 instances of this phrase- 23 from the lips of our Lord Himself. In one instance, His
utterance of this Name is so powerful that it knocks down a band of soldiers backward to the ground , who had come to arrest
God. (See 18:6) Our Lord also responded with this Name to the high priest Caiaphas, when put under oath to testify as to His
identity.The Peshitta OT in Ezekiel has Ena Na 70 times; Nine other OT books contain 67; All but three of the 147 (98%)
total occurrences are from the mouth of God Himself :I AM Jehovah, I AM Jehovah of Lords, I AM Jehovah, I AM God
Almighty, I AM The God of Abraham; one is the discourse of Joseph: I am Joseph.There are exceptions in The NT
Peshitta as well, but it appears that Johns record is unanimous in testimony to the Divine reference in these words, all from
Jesus lips. I have chosen George Lamsas rendering of Ahiah Ashar High from Exodus 3:14: I AM The Living God, for
Ena Na.These words are implied but not unequivocal,since the literal sense may be taken as the pronoun and verb pair- I
am. Most often, the hearer took the latter meaning from these words; sometimes the Divine meaning. I have no doubt our Lord
used them intentionally in the Divine sense in almost every , if not in every case , as a test of faith and understanding for his
audience. I would therefore be remiss to omit the Divine sense from a translation, while also including the mundane
meaning.This does illuminate some obscure passages, especially where the statement stands alone : So you may know that I
am., does not make good sense. So you may know that I am The Living God , makes excellent sense. This stand alone
statement occurs five times in John: -( 8:24,28; 13:19, 18:6,8) .

And they were saying to that woman, Now it is not because of your word that we believe in Him,

The Critical Greek text omits The Messiah in this verse. Here are three different possible scripts for the Aramaic text of
Messiah Savior:
hnyxm aa0xy$m Estrangela Aramaic script (AD 100-600)
hnyxm axysm Massoretic Square Aramaic script (BHS)
, - Pre- Massoretic Square Aramaic script (400 BC- AD 100).

In the Aramaic Peshitta , the two words occur together as above .
All that is needed to account for the Greek reading of the Critical text is homoteleuton (same ending) of the two words in the
third script, as represented by The Great Isaiah Dead Sea Scroll (Letters are pasted from a photocopy of the scroll). Both words
have five letters and the first and last letters of each look the same (Alep and He look almost identical in this ancient
script, unlike the more modern fonts). Each also has a middle Yod and initial Mem. It would appear, then, that a Greek
translator ,of the first century AD, saw tyaryrs (truly) and translated it , then his eye went to (Savior) ,
skipping (Messiah), due to the similarities noted. Another Greek translator may have done the same
(Byzantine) and then caught his error, tacking on Messiah: at the very end (o cristov), thus changing the word order as found
in the Aramaic original.
The words in Estrangela script are not as similar in appearance as the they are in the older square Aramaic characters. That does
not mean they could not account for such a mistake, simply that the older script is more likely to do so. This is consistent with
other variations in the Greek text of John , presented previously.

* Yammta- (Lake)- atmy is paralleled in Greek by Thallasay- (Sea) , but the Aramaic word for Sea is
Yamma- amy, very similar to the Aramaic for Lake. These facts point again to the strong probability that the
Aramaic text was misread here by a Greek translator. It is highly unlikely an Aramaen would mistake the Greek Thallasay
yalassh yalassh yalassh yalassh -(Sea) for Yammta (Lake); The Greek for Lake is Limnay- limnh limnh limnh limnh , nothing like Thallasay-(Sea).

Here begins the Pericope de Adultera.
The Peshitta mss. do not contain this passage- (Jn. 7:53-8:11). It is found in The Palestinian Syriac (5
th
cent. AD) and in most
Greek mss., as well as in most ancient versions of John. The Palestinian Aramaic text follows:

Mwgrn Nylh Kyadld dqp aswmd Nyd aowmnbw

But in the Torah of Moses , he commanded that we shall stone such as these

Verse 5 has Mwgrn Mwgrn Mwgrn Mwgrn Nargum , (we shall stone). Byzantine has liyoboleisyai (to be stoned).
Kyadld occurs only here in the Peshitta NT , meaning ,the one such, or they that are such. It is literally rendered in
Greek as tav toiautav they that are such. Apparently some Greek scribes read- Kyadld dqp (commanded that such)
as
Kyadl Ndqp (commanded us such), seeing d as N attached to dqp ( Ndqp , which means commanded us.) The Textus
Receptus and The Critical Greek text (W&H) have hmin hmin hmin hmin mwushv mwushv mwushv mwushv eneteilato eneteilato eneteilato eneteilato- Moses commanded us. The Aramaic
explains the Greek readings; The Greek readings cannot explain The Aramaic of The Peshitta. All the Greek texts have either
hmin hmin hmin hmin usor, hmwn hmwn hmwn hmwn our.The Peshitta has no personal pronoun with dqp- commanded . This explanation would presume
a very early Aramaic text with square Aramaic script in the first century; this explanation does not work with Estrangela
script :
Estrangela: Kyadlddqp & Kya dlNdqp
Here is the text again in Aramaic characters: Kyadlddqp & KyadlNdqp. How the words are separated changes the meaning
of the text, especially with the confusion of the letter Dalet for a final Nun.
The second example in each pair represents what a Greek translator may have misconstrued from the actual reading shown first.

What therefore do You say ? This they said ,as they were tempting Him, so that

Verse 6 has several signal markers indicating the Greek came from Aramaic and that the Aramaic came not from the Greek
texts. Elegon (they were saying) Critical text & TR, eipon (they said) Byzantine & Orthodox ,are both good
translations of the Aramaic wrma.
kathgorian kat autou (an accusation against him) Byzantine & Orthodox vs. kathgorein autou (to accuse him) -
W&H, shows two variations on the Aramaic verb yhynwgrjqnd - that they should accuse Him.

Nwhl awhtd (for them- that it may be) is an Aramaic idiom preceding the above verb, making it awkward for a Greek
translator to translate: Normally it means They have , so , what is the object ? Did they have an accusation (a noun) or did
they have to accuse him (a verb) ? One Greek said the former and another the latter, both understandable translations.
It seems unlikely that it went from Greek to Aramaic here: The Aramaic uses neither an infinitive verb (to accuse him), as
Westcott & Horts Greek text does, nor a noun (an accusation against him) , as The Byzantine Greek text does.

This text reveals a very powerful testimony from the woman taken in adultery. She addressed Jesus with the Divine Name
MarYah, which is Yahweh, The most holy Name of The God of the Hebrews ,in Aramaic ! MarYah means Lord
Jehovah. This would indicate that THE Holy Spirit had revealed our Lords identity to her, and that her soul was saved on
the spot, according to the scripture, No one can say Jesus is MarYah(The Lord Jehovah) except by The Holy Spirit.-1
Cor. 12:3. The Greek texts are ambiguous , using the phrase Kurios Ihsous- Lord Jesus. Kurios can refer to Deity or to
a mere human king or landowner. The Aramaic is unequivocal in its reference to The Deity revealed to Moses and the Prophets
of Israel.

And Jesus spoke again with them and He said: I AM The Living God, The Light of the world. Whoever follows Me
shall not walk in darkness but shall find the light of life.

The Greek texts have exei exei exei exei ( (( (shall have) )) ) where the Peshitta has xksn (shall find). Here is a possible explanation:
Shall findin three scripts- (BHS, Estrangela, DSS) : xksn, xk$n ,
Shall havein three scripts- (BHS, Estrangela, DSS) : hwhn - hwhn ,
(Have does not really exist in Aramaic ; hl hwhn (Nehweh lah) really means It shall be to him.)
It appears again that a Greek translator in the first century (reading old Aramaic script) mistook that script , reading
Nishkakh(Shall find) as Nehweh (Shall be), thereby translating it into the Greek equivalent,
exei exei exei exei ( (( (shall have). ). ). ). The Old Aramaic script represented above from the Dead Sea Isaiah Scroll illustrates how easy it would
have been to confuse the two words, thereby giving the different Greek reading. The Greek exei exei exei exei ( (( (shall have) ) ) ) would be
unlikely to give rise to the Aramaic reading (shall find)xksn. Again, the Aramaic characters of the two Aramaic words look
far more similar than do the Estrangela letters, supporting a first century Greek translation of the Aramaic text, since
Estrangela replaced square Aramaic characters after A.D. 100.

(in your sins) Nwkyhjxb (you shall die) Nwtwmt (that I AM The Living God *) ana anad

I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for unless you shall believe that I AM The Living God, you shall die in your sins.

Note that ana ana (Ena Na) here stands by itself: Our Lord said that those who do not believe Ena Na shall die in their
sins. This is not a reference to faith in the existence of Jesus (I exist), which the Pharisees were quite well aware of, but
rather a reference to faith in the Deity of Jesus (I AM The Living God). The next verse and others show that the people were
quite foggy about the meaning of His words, however. I am convinced that large numbers of professing Christians are also
foggy about the identity of Jesus Christ. How many of them, if asked, Who is Jesus Christ ?, would respond, He is the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? How many would say, Jesus Christ is The Creator of the universe ? How many would say,
Jesus Christ is The Jehovah God Who spoke to Moses, sent the ten plagues upon Egypt,parted the Red Sea, gave Him the
ten commandments, brought Israel to the promised land and sent them the prophets.? This is what The Peshitta NT makes
very clear. Thirty two times it refers to Yeshua Meshikha as Maryah (The Lord Jehovah) and 25 times as Ena Na (I AM
The Living God). The doctrine of The Trinity cannot mitigate or dilute the absolute Deity of The Messiah Jesus, The Son of
God. He is the second and Central Person of The Trinity. He is the focal point , Manifestation and bearer of the Fulness of The
Godhead, bodily. In Corinthians, Paul wrote, Christ is the Power of God; Christ is the Wisdom of God. Our Lord Himself
said, I am The Way, The Truth and The Life. These are absolute claims of absolute Deity. It is as if He were saying: I am
The Way of God The Father; I am The Truth of The True God; I am The Life of The Living God Himself. I cannot live
without My Father; My Father cannot live without Me. I AM The Only Life and The Life of all the universe, of Heaven, of
earth.
According to The Peshitta , The High Priest of Israel, Caiaphas put Jesus under oath:
And Jesus was silent, and made no reply. And again the chief priest interrogated him, and said: Are you the Messiah, the
Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said to him: I am The Living God. And you will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand
of power, and he will come on the clouds of heaven. And the high priest tore his tunic, and said: What need of witnesses
have we, any more?-Mark 14:61-63.
For that testimony , our Lord was hanged on a cross. He certainly was not going to be ambiguous in His answer to the
Supreme Court of Israel. What need have we of any more witnesses?
So true; If we dont know Who Jesus claimed to be after hearing this word from His own mouth, we will never know by
appealing to witnesses, whether they be apostles or angels from Heaven.

* Ena Na - ana ana - again stands alone, indicating that it means more than simply, I am. It is a Divine statement revealing
the Divine Name and Person to men: The I AM , i.e., Jehovah. Jesus definitely claimed to be The God of Israel and of the
universe.

Jesus spoke again to them : When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I AM The Living God,
and I do nothing for My own pleasure, but just as My Father has taught Me, so I am speaking.

The God of Jacob. 97% of The Peshitta OT occurrences of this phrase are Divine utterances.

Chapter 11

(who was sick) hyrkd (a certain one) dx (but) Nyd (there was) awh tya
(the village) atyrq (Byth-anya) ayne-tyb (from) Nm (Lazar) rzel
(and of Martha) atrmdw (of Miriam) Myrmd (the brother) hwxa

The Greek has :hn de tiv asyenwn lazarov apo bhyaniav ek thv kwmhv mariav kai maryav thv adelfhv authv
1 (AV) Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
The Peshitta has : atrmdw Myrmd hwxa atyrq ayne-tyb Nm rzel hyrkd dx Nyd awh tya
1 (MUR) And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha.
Her Brother: (Aramaic) hwxa -
Her Sister: (Aramaic) htxd-
Her Sister: (Hebrew) htxa htxa htxa htxa - -- -

It looks like a Greek translator had a problem with the Semitic form of naming a town (atyrq ayne-tyb) ,
Bethany Town and the spelling of (Achuah-Brother), which apparently was mistaken for
(DKhatha-Sister). The Greek has the town of Mary and her sister Martha;
The Peshittas Aramaic has the brother of Mary and Martha.
Town should not be connected with any word following it, only with Bethany.
A very literal reading, disregarding the Semitic use of town as part of the name of Bethany would lead to something like
the following sense: And a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of the brother of Mary and Martha. That
would have been OK, but apparently, the Greek translator misread Brother as Sister, thereby throwing a monkey
wrench into the meaning of the verse: The sister of Mary and Martha does not work, so sister must be moved in the
Greek text to follow Martha:
Hence, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Please note that the Greek does not really make good sense here: Lazarus was from the town of Mary and her sister ? So
what ? He was their brother ! The next verse alludes to that, but The Peshitta makes it plain in verse 1.
The Hebrew spelling of the word Her sister is even closer to the Aramaic spelling of Her brother than the old Aramaic
script spelling:
Compare Her Brother: (Aramaic) hwxa hwxa hwxa hwxa - -- -
and Her Sister: (Hebrew) htxa htxa htxa htxa - -- -

For la piece de la resistance, here is Jastrows Aramaic Hebrew entry from the Targums on the Aramaic
word Akhatha(Same as the Hebrew spelling above):

Apparently the older Aramaic retained the Hebrew form and was used as in The Aramaic Targum in Jeremiah
22:18, meaning Sister: twxa twxa twxa twxa . . . . Here is The Peshitta reading ,her brother - hwxa hwxa hwxa hwxa .
Whether the translator thought he saw or ,or either is close enough to or hwxa hwxa hwxa hwxa to account
for a possible error in translation and produce the Greek reading from the Aramaic of The Peshitta.
It would be a very difficult case to make to say the Aramaic came from the Greek, even if sister were to be misread as
brother, which are very similar in Greek; there would have been more than reconstructive surgery going on here. To get
Lazarus of the town of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha from Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her
sister Martha would be progressive evolution ! The translator would have misread the definite article thv thv thv thv as well as
adelfhv adelfhv adelfhv adelfhv(Sister) and dropped authv authv authv authv( (( (her) )) ), all three of which are feminine,and made a masculine noun brother
out of them. It is triply unlikely that three words would be misread, as opposed to one, as in the other scenario discussed above.
One would also be arguing that the Peshitta translation made much better sense than the original in such a case (and The
Peshitta does make much better sense than the Greek text).That also seems extremely unlikely and counter productive to NT
Theology.

The most natural Aramaic grammar would have Satan as the direct object and our Lord as the subject:He cast Satan into
Judahs heart. It is only theological shock that would decree that the traditional translation is correct. We should allow the
word to dictate theology, not vice versa.Our Lord certainly has all sovereign power over Satan.

* Several times our Lord tells the disciples that they shall believe Ena na (I AM). They apparently had not yet believed in His
absolute Deity until after His death and resurrection. So sublime and deep is the significance of these words, that they were
seldom understood or even heard by those to whom He spoke them. I have counted 147 occurrences of this term in 10 books of
The Peshitta OT, 144 of which are utterences of The Deity (98 %).
No other text beside The Peshitta properly sets forth this claim of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha as plainly. Along with the 32
times the title Maryah-(Jehovah) is applied to Yeshua Meshikha,there are, counting the 25 Ena na statements in John,
57 very powerful testimonies to the absolute Deity of The Messiah Yeshua in The Peshitta New Testament not found in other
Bible texts.

* According to the lexicons, ParqlayTa (without yod) could be a contraction of Paraq + QlayTa (Redeemer Protector) , or it
could be Paraq + LyTa (Redeemer of the accursed). The latter would seem to be the more accurate etymology. Another
Savior implies a former Savior, which was Jesus Himself. The Greek word Parakletos (Advocate, Comforter,Intercessor) is
never applied in the gospels to our Lord. The disciples did know Him as the Paroqa & Makhina ( Redeemer, Lifegiver-
Savior).

There is no greater love than this, that a person lay down his life for his friends.

The Greek texts have a different reading:
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
I have little doubt that a Greek translator mistook snad -that a manas snal to a man. Snal tyl , the misread text
with a Lamed l where there was a Dalet d, means,No man has. In so reading it, the translator would have created the
Aramaic idiom Snal tyl , meaning , No man has.
The actual reading cannot mean that; it is an absolute statement of truth: There is no greater love than this, that a man will
lay down his life for his friends.
(Blue words represent the two Aramaic words Snad tyl. The Greek reading : Greater love has no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his friends(blue words represent Snal tyl).

It is easy, once again, to see how the Aramaic could give rise to the Greek ,especially from a square Aramaic script (used
until the first century in Aramaic mss.), as is used here. I believe it would be very difficult to account for the Aramaic reading
of the Peshitta as a translation of the Greek text. The Greek would not translate into the Aramaic of The Peshitta. The Peshitta
simply does not look like a translation of the Greek, here & in many other places.
Just a graphic recap. illustrating the Aramaic basis for the Greek reading :
Peshitta reading Greek reading in Aramaic
s sn na ad d tyl - - t th he er re e i is s n no ot t, , t th ha at t a a m ma an n : : s sn na al l tyl t th he er re e i is s n no ot t t to o a a m ma an n
DSS Aramaic

The Greek verse does not compare to the implications of The Peshitta reading.
This Peshitta verse is probably one of the most important in all of scripture, theologically. It not only sets the standard and
definition for the greatest love possible, but for The greatest possible God. Think about this statement with reference to Him,
and you have something to think about and contemplate for an eternity.

Here is holy ground; I hear the ancient and eternal words Moses heard at the burning bush of The Presence of Jehovah: Put off
thy shoes from thy feet, for the ground whereon thou standest is holy ground. Here is where Jehovah Himself knelt down to
pray. Here He looks up to Heaven from earth;
Here He utters His heart and souls desire. Here is truly the LORDs prayer, and the Spirit of Holiness,
The mind of the Holy One of Israel- The Holy One of God- The Holy God Himself.

All flesh- Kol basar is singular in number grammatically , though certainly plural in meaning.
He will give to it- Natal lah grammatically refers it to all flesh quite well. A similar construction occurs in the Peshitta
version of Genesis 6:17.
See Luke 3:6 and Acts 2:17. It has always been Gods promise to save all people.There are many promises of salvation toall
fleshin The Hebrew Bible. That salvation is called the Will of God in 1Timothy 2:3,4 and The Promise of the Gospel to
Abraham in Galatians 3:8. It is also called The New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:8-13. There are too many
references to list here, but certainly our Lord God Yeshua Meshikha said: I came not to judge the world, but to save the
world.(John 12:47) Shall we trust and follow a liar or a failure ? God forbid !

* Nwems -Shimeon occurs 165 times in the Peshitta NT. The Greek equivalents Simwn& Simewn (Simon &
Shimeon) occur only 82 times ! Often the Greek Name, Petrov- Petros is used instead. The Greek of this verse ,
however, retains the Aramaic Shimeon and Kaypha, which it then explains with the words : khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai khfav o ermhneuetai
petrov petrov petrov petrov Cephas , which is translated Petros. Here the Greek text declares that the name Petros is a translation of the
Aramaic name Kaypha. We here find hard evidence, and in 160 other places where this Greek name occurs, that the Greek
NT is translated from Aramaic ! Naturally, the Peshitta has no similar translation from Greek to Aramaic, here or anywhere
else. Repeat the above statement several times and ponder it: The Greek text declares itself to be translated from Aramaic !

which the letter Pe p was mistaken for a Beth b - easily done with square Aramaic script. This does not work in a Greek
to Aramaic translation scenario. Gabbaya Gabbaya Gabbaya Gabbaya would not be mistaken for (Gpiptha) atpypg (Gafifya Gafifya Gafifya Gafifyaor Gapipya Gapipya Gapipya Gapipya in
Greek).
Aramaic is here called Hebrew because both Aramaic & Hebrew shared Hebrew alphabet & characters , and Aramaic was
spoken by the Hebrew people.The following are excerpts from Jastrows Hebrew-Aramaic Dictionary on the word Hebraith
(Hebrew):

According to ancient word usage Ebraith Hebrew , can refer to Aramaic .

shall become white through Him Whom they pierced through. This is an apparently theological play on words in Aramaic.

tyarbe-Ebraith means Hebrew and though Aramaic was the language used, the Jewish people referred to
it as Hebrew, since Aramaic had been their native tongue (the tongue of the Hebrew people) for six centuries and was used in
their scriptures. Aramaic and Hebrew share the same alphabet and both were written with the same script, so their letters
looked the same in the first century.
ylwbr Rabbuli is an Aramaic word meaning My Master and is the same as Rabboni , which the Greek
versions have in Greek letters transliterated Rabbouni Rabbouni Rabbouni Rabbouni . Notice that Mary is not presented as speaking Greek; neither is any
other person mentioned in the four Gospels. Ebraith Hebrew is defined by its Greek equivalent, Hebrais, as The
Hebrew tongue;not that however in which the OT was written, but the Chaldee.-Thayers Greek English Lexicon.

This verse is much more pointed and specific in Aramaic than in the Greek versions: And when you believe,you shall have eternal
life in His Name. The Greek versions are rendered : And that believing ye may have life in his name. The Greek is
unclear about the when and the eternal , because those words are not found in the Greek versions of this verse.The
Aramaic also uses the the future tense shall have, where the Greek uses the subjunctive mood : may have, should have
, which is a less certain prospect than the future tense.

The Peshitta Aramaic-English
Acts-General Epistles & Revelation
Translated by Rev. Glenn David Bauscher
Preface
Many thanks are due to Paul Younan (Native Assyrian of Lebanon and host of Peshitta.org) for his interlinear of The
Gospels , which I consulted in my translation of The Gospels, and who inspired me personally to continue translating
through The New Testament , as I knew there was no similar interlinear of the entire Peshitta New Testament. He asked
me to be translator on his translation team to translate The Peshitta NT, but Paul had little time to oversee the project
and I decided to proceed on my own. I also consulted George Lamsas and Murdocks translations of The Peshitta. This
is not a revision of any previous translation, however, but is a fresh word for word rendering and is distinct from the
above translations. I trust that the hand of Him Who originally breathed out the word was upon me as I translated. To
Him I am supremely grateful for His guidance and inspiration, and for the original and infallible text which He has
bequeathed to His church and for the world to hear and read, for the salvation of all who will believe in Him,Whose
story and Gospel is told herein.

How to read the Interlinear

Aramaic reads from right to left. The first Aramaic word is abtk.

The plain English prose translation would be the above eight numbered words and phrases arranged in order:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(Book) (of The Genealogy) (of Yeshua) (The Messiah) (The Son) (of David) (The Son) (of Abraham).
will be exceptions due to different word order in Aramaic. Try the next verse.The geneaology is very simple to read in this way.

* How plainly the Greek declares itself to be a translation may be seen in the word elaiwnov elaiwnov elaiwnov elaiwnov (Olive grove). Bayth
Zaytha was called Bayth Zaytha because that was its name, just as Jerusalem was called "Oreshlem in Eastern
Aramaic ;it was not called Teaching of Peace(the meaning of Jerusalem) didach eirhnhv didach eirhnhv didach eirhnhv didach eirhnhv Teaching of Peace in
Greek. No one called Jerusalem Teaching of Peace or Didachay Eiraynays . Philadelphia means Brotherly love,
but that city is called Philadelphia, not Brotherly Love. The fact that the Greek gives the definition of Bayth Zaytha
instead of the name itself is a dead giveaway that the Greek elaiwnov elaiwnov elaiwnov elaiwnov (Olive grove) is a translation. Essentially the same
Greek translation is used in Luke 19:29 & Luke 21:37.

* This verse in Greek has the Aramaic name akeldama akeldama akeldama akeldama , Akeldama, transliterated and says that in their language was
called akeldama akeldama akeldama akeldama , which is Field of blood.Thayers Greek English Lexicon has this entry for akeldama : akeldama : akeldama : akeldama :
184 Akeldama Akeldama ak-el-dam-ah of Aramaic origin, corresponding to 02506 and 01818 amd lqx;
n pr loc AV-Aceldama 1; 1
Aceldama =" Field of Blood"
So The Greek NT declares the language of the Jews in Jerusalem to have been Aramaic. Notice it says their language, not
their languages. Only one language is mentioned as belonging to the region, and akeldama akeldama akeldama akeldama is plainly an Aramaic name of
two words : lqx Haqel- Field & amd-Dama- Blood.So the Greek NT says that the Jews of Jerusalem spoke
Aramaic and contradicts the notion that they also spoke Greek;it also transliterates Aramaic here and elsewhere and then
translates its meaning into Greek for a Greek audience.

- He destroyed the destructions of Sheol is one possible translation; others are He loosed the cords of Sheol,
He destroyed the pains of Sheol, He loosed the cords of the grave, He has loosed the travail of Sheol.
I have chosen the first as it presents the poetic paradox which is so powerfully employed in scripture to highlight the

power of God: He leads captivity captive, tells the poor they are rich, the rich are poor, the high are low and the lowly
exalted, and finally kills death, casting death and Sheol into a lake of fire. Whichever translation is preferred,
the Apostle Peter is declaring that Sheol has been defanged- neutralized & rendered impotent by The Messiahs death and
resurrection. All Greek mss but codex D have lusav tav wdinav tou yanatou lusav tav wdinav tou yanatou lusav tav wdinav tou yanatou lusav tav wdinav tou yanatou He loosed the pains of death.Codex
D , which usually seems to follow The Peshitta more closely, has lusav tav wdinav tou adou lusav tav wdinav tou adou lusav tav wdinav tou adou lusav tav wdinav tou adou He loosed the pains of
Hades. Hades is the Greek cognate for the Hebrew-Aramaic Sheol. The Greeks sometimes translated the Hebrew
Sheol with yanatov yanatov yanatov yanatov- Death. (See 2 Sam. 22:6 Greek LXX and Hebrew, Prov. 23:14) . Both Greek readings (Hades &
Death) represent The LXX translation words used for The Hebrew Sheol, which is almost identical to the Aramaic spelling
of Sheol.The Hebrew of that verse has the phrase lwas ylbx Khebli Sheol , where The Peshitta OT has the same
phrase found here in Acts 2:24- lwys hylbx , translated the pangs of Sheol by George Lamsa. atwmd hylbx is also found
in that version of 2 Sam. 22:5 , which he translated pangs of death. The same text is repeated in Psalms 18:4,5 & 116:3
(115:3 in Peshitta) using the same Aramaic words in The Peshitta and the same translation in Lamsa.

ynylmt Tamalayni (You shall fill me) is a feminine verb, agreeing with the noun atwmyob atwmyob atwmyob atwmyob Bassimutha
(Gladness) which is also feminine , therefore making it the subject of the feminine verb. God and Lord are masculine
nouns, & therefore do not fit grammatically here, though Gladness is Personified and a Divine Name as used here, much
like other abstract terms, such as Wisdom , Love & Peace in some scripture references- See Proverbs 8.

God has made this Yeshua , Jehovah and The Messiah , Whom you had crucified.

No Greek text can account for this reading. The Greek - kurion kurion kurion kurion auton kai criston epoihsen o yeov touton ton ihsoun auton kai criston epoihsen o yeov touton ton ihsoun auton kai criston epoihsen o yeov touton ton ihsoun auton kai criston epoihsen o yeov touton ton ihsoun simply
says: that both Lord and Christ, God made this Yeshua, whom you crucified. kurion kurion kurion kurion - -- -Lord is not necessarily a
Divine Title. The Peshitta records an unabashed declaration of the absolute Deity of Yeshua. If any object that God made
him Jehovah means Yeshua was given a title that He had not previously, I respond that this is a setting forth of the fact that
Yeshua , The Lord Jehovah and Messiah (See Luke 2:11) really and truly died to all that He was on the cross, and all that He
was- died . In the resurrection, all that He was came back again to Life out of the oblivion of His Spiritual death on the cross
(not His physical death and resurrection) from His Father God. Thus He became again Jehovah and The Messiahfrom the
dead - The LORD of a new creation- a New Heaven and a New Earth.For as One died for all, all died with Him, and now
we are risen with Him in His resurrection- (2 Cor. 5:14 & Ephesians 2:4-6). Hallelujah !

Eucharist- ayjorkwa (Eukhristya) is supposed to be a Greek word in Aramaic letters, however, the Greek mss. do not have
Eucharist here or in the two other places where ayjorkwa occurs. How did the Peshitta reading ayjorkwa get here and in
those two other places without any such word in the Greek texts ? Eucharist occurs nowhere in The Greek NT ! I submit
that this word Eucharist came from The original early first century Peshitta NT, not from Greek.

* Greek Codex D- a 6
th
century uncial, has kosmon kosmon kosmon kosmon -kosmon-world. Compare the Peshitta reading ame- amma
people to amle alma-world,age,eternity-just one letter difference !Practically all other Greek mss. have laon laon laon laon
people which scarcely resembles kosmon kosmon kosmon kosmon -kosmon-world; it is easy to account for the Greek variant reading on the
basis of The Peshitta reading.There are so many examples of this in The NT that it would be ludicrous to maintain a Greek
original and a Peshitta version translated from Greek when practically all the evidence paints another picture- the negative
image of the conventional western model.

The church atde (Edta) means an assembly , from the Aramaic verb de Ad, AoedTo set a meeting, to
assemble.
If we split the word in half, we have at de Meet, Come , which sounds like an invitation to gather together as a body
to worship. It may also be construed as a compound of the two words ata de Until he comes, which is reminiscent of
the Apostles words: As oft as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lords death till He come.That is also
the function of the church. The Greek word ekklhsia ekklhsia ekklhsia ekklhsia- ekklaysia for Church , used in this and other places means
,literally , Called out, which gives essentially a negative connotation to the meaning of the church. But the purpose of calling
the assembly is far from a negative separating people out from the world, but a gathering of them unto Him Who loved us all ,
and gave Himself for us, that we may meet with Him and fellowship with Him and His Father in The Holy Spirit, and also with
one another on a spiritual level in the kingdom of Heaven on earth. It is a call into the very Presence of God and glory in
Heaven- fairly positive, on balance !

Do not the church and the world today need to see and hear this positive invitation and call to celebrate and experience the
Presence of The Living God that constitutes all the joy of Heaven itself ?

And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God.


And The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears, say, Come.
And he that is thirsty, let him come and take the water of Life freely.
(Rev. 22:17 translated from The Crawford Aramaic manuscript.)

* ana ana Ena na is an Aramaic idiom signifying Divine speech in 97% of its 150 occurrences in The Peshitta Old Testament
Prophets. The literal meaning is I am, but as an idiom is not normally to be taken literally, but with the meaning the idiom

conveys. I have chosen to translate this phrase in accordance with Lamsas translation of Exodus 3:14 where the Aramaic
Ahiah Ashur High (I AM Who I AM) occurs. Our Lord Yeshua used this phrase as recorded in Johns Gospel 25 times
, declaring Himself to be The Eternal Deity with each of those twenty five utterances; even a regiment of Jewish soldiers (200-
600 men) fell backward to the ground when our Lord uttered this phrase in the Garden of Gethsemane. John 8:24 records that
our Lord made this point critical to our salvation: I said to you, That you will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that (Ena
Na) I Am The Living God , you will die in your sins.

This verse is absent in The Peshitta mss. , however, the Aramaic Scriptures Research Society 1986 edition of The
Aramaic Peshitta Text (an edition of The Eastern text) contains it [in brackets] and The 1979 Syriac NT critical edition
of The Peshitta also has it at the bottom of the page with a note which states that no Syriac manuscript contains it and
that it was first supplied in Hutters edition of 1599-1600.The Harklean Syriac version does have this verse, being
revised from Greek in AD 616; one Greek uncial E (8
th
cent.) has it, The Textus Receptus Greek editions have it as do
some Latin Vulgate mss. and The Old Itala Version (2
nd
cent.).

The ending of verse 36 is- dmead atylk ; In DSS : dm()d )tylk.
The ending of verse 37 is : wh ahlad hrb ; In DSS : wh )hl)d hrb .Possibly a copyist copied verse 36 and was confused
by the similar endings of 37 and 36 and instead of going on to v. 37, he skipped it, assuming he had just copied it and went on
to v. 38.

The beginning of verse 37 is rmaw rmaw rmaw rmaw.
The beginning of verse 38 is dqpw dqpw dqpw dqpw. It is more likely a copyist had finished v. 36 and was glancing ahead at 37 in the original ms.
And noted visually rmaw but actually proceeded with v. 38 dqpw instead, due to the similarities in the respective first words of
each verse.It is certainly easier to account for the omission of this verse than for its fabrication as scripture.

* Greek has tabiya h diermhneuomenh legetai dorkav tabiya h diermhneuomenh legetai dorkav tabiya h diermhneuomenh legetai dorkav tabiya h diermhneuomenh legetai dorkav- Tabitha, which, being translated, means Dorcas (a gazelle).
dorkav dorkav dorkav dorkav -Dorkas occurs twice in this chapter in the Greek texts, which according to the Greek of this verse, is a Greek
translation of an Aramaic word: 5000 Tabiya Tabitha tab-ee-thah of Aramaic origin, cf 06646 atybj; ; n pr f AV-Tabitha 2;
2 Tabitha =" female gazelle" (1) the name of the woman that Peter raised from the dead . -(Thayers Greek-English Lexicon).
Is it not strange that the Greek text has the Aramaic Tabitha transliterated in Greek letters and then states which being
translated means Dorcas ? We do not find this phenomenon in The Peshitta, that is, we do not find Greek words transliterated
into Aramaic letters and then translated into Aramaic words. The Greek NT has this phenomenon recorded at least six times in
The Gospels and in Acts. Why in the name of Sam Hill would Luke have written this in Greek originally if the persons ,
language and culture involved were Aramaean ? And why would we have a Greek translation of a name if the original was
Greek ? And why would we have a Greek translation of a persons name at all , unless it were a highly significant name with a
highly significant meaning, like that of Meshikha-Christor Kaypha Peter ?
The fact that the Greek texts have both Tabitha and Dorkas in this passage with the statement ,this is translated into
[Greek] Dorkas is a giveaway of the fact that the Greek text is not the original language but a translation language of a
Semitic original (probably Aramaic). This writer believes the Greek translation of Tabitha was a faux pas; names are hardly
ever to be translated into the target language, but simply transliterated in their original form. The fact that this one was

transliterated and translated into Greek twice in this chapter testifies powerfully to the Greek as a translation of an Aramaic
original.See v. 39 also.

* This verse is not found in Western Syriac mss. or in Eastern Assyrian mss. It is found in Tremellius 1569 edition of The Peshitta
and is found in The Textus Receptus Greek editions, as well as Codex C (5
th
cent.) and some Byzantine Greek mss. Most Greek
mss. and ancient versions lack it entirely. This I do know, however; This edition of The Aramaic NT including this verse has
long Aramaic and Hebrew codes extending throughout The NT several times each in a loop, 25 to 191 letters long, written as
poetic accounts of the Gospel story, none of which would exist without this verse in the text ! An addition or subtraction of one

letter anywhere in The NT would destroy all of the nine codes I have found so far ! Such codes have yet to be found in any
other edition of The Peshitta NT or in The four Greek NT editions texted thus far.

Athens was the center of Zenos school of The Stoic philosophy in the late fourth & early third century BC . Epicurus founded
his school (called The Epicurean) of philosophy in 306 BC in Athens, where he taught until his death in 270 BC. The two
schools came to represent opposite philosophies.The Stoics attempted to live by reason and will, shunning the influence of
emotion and pleasure.The Epicurean indulged all emotion and pleasure, making all pleasures the object of life.

* Greek has skolh skolh skolh skolh , which looks like it was an Aramaic loan word in the Greek language. The Aramaic Skoola comes from the
root skal , which can mean to be foolish , to explain or to understand. A school is where the unlearned go to have
things explained to them, hence the term Skoola-School includes both concepts of ignorance and learning.There are other
places in The NT where this Aramaic root occurs. The Greek root occurs only in this one place, making it unlikely the Aramaic
is a translation of the Greek word and likely the Greek is a translation and that this Greek word, like many others, is borrowed
from the Aramaic language.The Hebrew cognate words of the Aramaic skal- lko are : Shakal lks to understand and

Sawkal lko to be foolish. (The Aramaic lks Shekal -Understand& wntlks Shakalthanu -
Understanding) occur in The Hebrew Bible in the book of Daniel.

Jastrows Aramaic-Hebrew Dictionary has the following entry for tyarbe :


The Hebrew word tyarbe Ibrayth and the Aramaic word tyarbe Ibrayith can each refer to the Hebrew language or the
Aramaic language. We know from history and other Biblical evidence that Aramaic was the common tongue of first century
Israel.
The Greek text uses the word Ebraiv Ebraiv Ebraiv Ebraiv Hebrais. Thayers Greek-English Lexicon has this definition for the word:
1446 ebraiv ebraiv ebraiv ebraiv Hebrais heb-rah-is from 1443; TDNT-3:356,372; n f AV-Hebrew 3; 3
1) Hebrew, the Hebrew language, not that however in which the OT was written but the Chaldee, which at the time of Jesus and
the apostles had long superseded it in Palestine .
th
600 B.C.).The Greek Ebraiv Ebraiv Ebraiv Ebraiv Hebrais refers only to Aramaic according to Thayer, and he is the standard Greek authority
for Koine Greek.This Greek word occurs three times in The Greek NT- all in Acts (this is the first reference). The word
Ebraisti Ebraisti Ebraisti Ebraisti is also used in The Greek NT and in The Apocrypha.It is the same word, only in a different case, called the dative
case; it means In Aramaic ; Here is Thayers again: 1447 ebraisti Hebraisti heb-rah-is-tee from 1446; TDNT-3:356,372;
adv ;AV-in the Hebrew tongue 3, in the Hebrew 2, in Hebrew 1; 6
1) in Hebrew, i.e. in Chaldee .
Both Greek forms occur a total of nine times in The Greek NT: four times in John,three in Acts and two in Revelation.They also
occur in the LXX apocrypha of Sirach one time and 4
th
Maccabees twice. All refer to the Aramaic language.
Here is The American Heritage Dictionary entry for Aramaic:
Aramaic (r-mk) n. A Semitic language, comprising several dialects, originally of the ancient Arameans but widely used
by non-Aramean peoples throughout southwest Asia from the seventh century B.C. to the seventh century A.D. Also called
Aramean, Chaldean. --Aramaic adj.
So The Greek NT testifies unequivocally that the language of Israel in the first century was Aramaic.

C * The Majority Greek text and TR (KJV Greek) has mh yeomacwmen mh yeomacwmen mh yeomacwmen mh yeomacwmen -Let us not fight God. The Following are the actual
Peshitta reading with the 2

words combined (hbty)) and the majority Greek reading in Aramaic below it, both in
Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script:
Peshitta reading: )dhb hbty) )nm What is there in that ?
Majority Greek reading in Aramaic: )rmb }nymyq )mld- Shall we resist The Lord ?

The two readings are very similar looking in the DSS Aramaic script, leading me to believe that a Greek translator
mistook the one for the other and gave us the Majority Greek reading as found in The King James Version of this verse.

The Greek readings seem to reflect the Aramaic grammar behind bwtka Ektob. This sort of scenario is common in the NT.

* Greek has my footstool ; Nylgrd asbwk is our footstool; ylgrd asbwk one letter difference ! The difference in Greek is
between hmwn hmwn hmwn hmwn our and mou mou mou mou my; In Greek uncial script, these pronouns , our & we are HM HM HM HMw ww wN NN N and MOU MOU MOU MOU . . . . In fact,
here is a photo of the Codex Vaticanus from James 2:3, with the words -ekei upo to upopodion mou ou diekriyhte en ekei upo to upopodion mou ou diekriyhte en ekei upo to upopodion mou ou diekriyhte en ekei upo to upopodion mou ou diekriyhte en-
here before my footstool. Do ye not make distinctions among:
.The Greek pronouns have 25% correlation
(1 of 4 letters).The Aramaic words for the two readings have 84% correlation :

Nylgrd asbwk -our footstool(Peshitta)
ylgrd asbwk - my footstool(Source of Greek reading ?)

The Aramaic words explain the Greek reading quite well- one letter was dropped or missed from the Peshitta reading, making
it read , My footstool to a Greek translator.The Greek cannot so easily account for The Peshitta reading.

* Greek has mercy rejoices against judgment- katakaucatai eleon krisewv katakaucatai eleon krisewv katakaucatai eleon krisewv katakaucatai eleon krisewv . Rejoices in Aramaic could be
Nyrtxtm or Nyxbtsm , fitting the grammatical form of the actual Peshitta verb.
Nyletsm is have dominion the Peshitta reading.
In Dead Sea Scroll script, these are }yrtxtm or }yxbt$m Rejoices
}yl(t$m - Have dominionis the Peshitta reading.
In Estrangela script, these are Nyrtxt$m or Nyxbt$m
Have dominion -Nyle9t$m is the Peshitta reading. Whichever Aramaic script is used, the Peshitta reading and the second
reading for Rejoices- Nyletsm have 72% correlation.Here are the Aramaic words enlarged for comparison:

* Greek has upo thv geenhv upo thv geenhv upo thv geenhv upo thv geenhv by Gehenna(Hell ?). Gehenna in Aramaic is anhg ; By Gehenna would be anhgb ;
Compare the actual Peshitta Aramaic reading with By Gehenna :

Ashuri Aramaic:

arwnb-with fire
anhgbby Gehenna
60% correlation

In DSS script :
)rwn nn nb-with fire
)nhgbby Gehenna
60-80% correlation

Estrangela script:
0rwnb-with fire
0nhgbby Gehenna
80% correlation

I am inclined to accept the DSS script as the base script of Greek James, as practically all examples studied in The NT favor
that script as the original, or a hybrid Ashuri-DSS script. The Ashuri Gamal - g may have been used rather than the DSS g and
the Ashuri Nun n rather than DSS n . If so, the correlation would be 80% for the hybrid script. Taking DSS as is and
comparing letters Nun n Gamal g and (Waw,Resh) rw with Khet h , one can see how the word pair would be confused.

The Greek for fire is purov ; purov ; purov ; purov ; This does not compare well with geenhv ; geenhv ; geenhv ; geenhv ; correlation is only 16% between these two, demonstrating
that it is very unlikely an Aramaean translator would mistake geenhv geenhv geenhv geenhv - -- -Gehenna for purov purov purov purov - -- -Fire in an hypothetical
translation of Greek to The Peshittas Aramaic.

* There are two different Greek readings here: The Critical Greek text (a,B, etc.) has ton ton ton ton Kurion Kurion Kurion Kurion- -- - Lord and
The Majority Greek text has ton ton ton ton Yeon , Yeon , Yeon , Yeon , - -- -God . This may very well represent two different attempts to translate ayrm
MarYah, which is the Aramaic cognate for Yahweh. MarYah -ayrm , is two root words combined: Mar -Lord + Yah
short form of Yahweh. Kurios is the most common translation in Greek , but only represents the first root of the word,
ignoring the second part Yah. Theos - -- - Yeon Yeon Yeon Yeon is probably an attempt to convey the meaning of the second and most
significant part of the word MarYah as God, which Kurios- Kuriov, Kuriov, Kuriov, Kuriov, simply cannot do.

* The Greek has sabawy sabawy sabawy sabawy Sabaoth which is a Hebrew word; it is also found in The Aramaic Targums just as it is here in
The Peshitta twabu and in Hebrew: Here is the note from Thayers Greek English Lexicon :

of Hebrew origin 06635 twabu in feminine plural; ; n indecl
AV-sabaoth 2; 2
1) "Lord of Sabaoth"
1a) Lord of the armies of Israel, as those who are under the leadership and protection of Jehovah maintain his cause in war .
The LXX has the word sabawy sabawy sabawy sabawy 61 times as a transliteration of twabu . twabu occurs twice in The Peshitta NT & sabawy sabawy sabawy sabawy twice
in The Greek NT. It certainly is not Greek, anymore than Sabbata,Mammona,Rabbi,Kepha,Pascha,Satana,
Boanerges,Messias,Abba,Maranatha,Talitha Cumi,Eli Eli lama sabacthani, Ephatha, Rabboni,Beelzebub,Abaddon and
many other Aramaic terms are Greek. The total occurrences of the above amounts to over 200 times; Other terms occur many
times in The Greek NT, such as Christos, declared in John 1:41 Greek text to be a translation of mesian mesian mesian mesian in the phrase:
mesian mesian mesian mesian o estin meyermhneuomenon cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon cristov o estin meyermhneuomenon cristov The Messiah, which is translated, The Christ.

Messiah is the term by which Yeshua was called; this is Aramaic, in agreement with The language of first century Israel.
Christos occurs 563 times in The Majority Byzantine Greek NT;. Those 563 occurrences are therefore each and all
translations of the Aramaic axysm (Meshiha).Along with John 1:41, John 4:25 in Greek has the woman at the well , a
Samaritan, using the phrase, mesiav ercetai o legomenov cristov mesiav ercetai o legomenov cristov mesiav ercetai o legomenov cristov mesiav ercetai o legomenov cristov The Messiah, who is called The Christ. Was she

speaking Greek.The Greek transliterates the Aramaic axysm (Meshiha) with the same word mesiav mesiav mesiav mesiav used in John 1:41, to
represent what Andrew said to Simon Peter. In both places, the word cristov cristov cristov cristov is shown to be the Greek for the Aramaic word,
transliterated as Mesiav. Mesiav. Mesiav. Mesiav.There is both transliteration and translation at work in both places (as in four others).

N C * The Majority Greek lacks for life; The Critical Greek has into salvation -eiv swthrian , eiv swthrian , eiv swthrian , eiv swthrian , which is a typical Greek
rendering of the Aramaic Khaya- ayx , whose essential meaning is Life, but can also at times refer to salvation.
Salvation is entirely out of place in this verse; we do not grow into salvation as the Critical Greek states it, which is a
theological heresy and absurdity. This Greek reading does support the Peshitta primacy model, however. The Peshitta does not
follow any Greek text, as it contains more information than they do : Weaned children , as for milk , & spiritual, for
life. The Greek can be derived from the Aramaic (primarily by omission of words) but the Aramaic cannot be derived from the
Greek texts.

(Jehovah) ayrm (is) wh (that good) bjd (& you have seen *) Nwtyzxw (you have tasted) Nwtmej (if) Na 3

Greek lacks & you have seen. The Peshitta verse is an obvious allusion to Psalms 34:8:

Yahweh good that & see Taste
hwhy bwj-yk warw wmej Heb.Taste and see that Jehovah is good.Here is the Peshitta OT version of that Psalms verse:
MarYah good that & see Taste
ayrm bjd wzxw wmej Aram.Taste and see that Jehovah is good. See the similarities in the Hebrew and Aramaic ? It
appears the Greek translator (I assume the Greek is a translation in this interlinear, due to all the evidence I have compiled
supporting that position) saw Nwtmej and translated it egeusasye egeusasye egeusasye egeusasye You have tasted and inadvertantly skipped the next
Aramaic word Nwtyzxw & you have seen because it has the same ending as the previous word Nwtmej ; he then proceeded
to translate the next word bjd that good, etc..

* This is a quotation from Isaiah 28:16 from a text not quite The Hebrew Massoretic text (Hebrew has a sure foundation &
shall not make haste) nor The LXX reading :( costly,choice corner stone,choice..) nor Peshitta OT :(shall not be
afraid). This is typical of Peshitta NT quotes from the OT; no one known OT text type is represented . Some sort of hybrid text
was used which was somewhere between The Massoretic Hebrew and a Hebrew text like that behind The Greek LXX..
Greek : idou tiyhmi en siwn liyon akrogwniaion eklekton entimon kai o pisteuwn ep autw ou mh kataiscunyh
LXX : idou egw embalw eiv ta yemelia siwn liyon polutelh eklekton akrogwniaion entimon eiv ta yemelia authv kai
o pisteuwn ep autw ou mh kataiscunyh
You can compare the Greek verse (Majority text) with the LXX and see that the Greek text is not a verbatim quote of The LXX ,
but
probably is an edited version of the Peshitta text based on The LXX.

* Greek has additionally a quote from Psalms 118:22 -liyon on apedokimasan oi oikodomountev outov egenhyh eiv kefalhn
gwniav (The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner.)-identical to The LXX text of
that verse. This insertion (I do not give my reasons here for asserting this as an insertion) garbles the sense of the sentence
given in this and the following verse.

closer in appearance than the Ashuri, though it is a hard call between the two scripts.

Greek for Men is usually Anyrwpoiv Anyrwpoiv Anyrwpoiv Anyrwpoiv ; Nations Gentiles is eynesin. eynesin. eynesin. eynesin. In Greek Uncial script:

ANYRWPOIS ANYRWPOIS ANYRWPOIS ANYRWPOIS Men
EYNESIN EYNESIN EYNESIN EYNESIN- -- -Gentiles


I see no correlation (0%) in the two Greek words whatsoever. It looks highly unlikely that The Peshitta reading came from
Greek , as a translator looking at eynesin eynesin eynesin eynesin- -- - Nations Gentiles would not be at all prone to translate it as asna Men.

Sons of men children ynb may be interpreted building as from anb (Bna) instead of the obvious root arb -Bra
Son.The Greek is an obvious error.We are not to submit to any human creation; submission indicates an attitude of humility
and service which can only be expressed toward another person, not toward things or institutions. If Peter had ordinances

LXX and Greek NT) refers to Gods creation, never mans.
Incidentally, this verse does not teach absolute obedience to men; submission is not necessarily obedience.

* Greek has caritov caritov caritov caritov Grace ; The Peshitta has atbhwm Mawhabta-The gift;
Grace in Aramaic is usually atwbyj Tibotha. Here are the words in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic
script:

)tbhwm -The Gift (Peshitta)
)twby+ -Grace (Base of Greek reading ?)

These two words have 84% letter correlation. The Greek for Gift in correct grammatical form for this passage is
c cc carismatov arismatov arismatov arismatov or dwrou dwrou dwrou dwrou ; carismatov carismatov carismatov carismatov & caritov caritov caritov caritov have 70% correlation, which is relatively high for Greek word pairs, but is
still significantly lower than the Aramaic word pair correlation.The Greek words differ in letter number by three; the Aramaic
pair differ in only one letter and have the same number of letters in each word !The Aramaic text obviously is not derived from
Greek (no Greek text has Eternal life) and none has the gift. The Greek is easily accounted for as a translation of the

Aramaic in which the word eternall was simply dropped and )tbhwm Mawhabta-The gift was misread as
)twby+ Tibotha-Grace.

2 Peter *

* The Epistle of 2
nd
Peter is not included in The Peshitta ; neither is 2
nd
John, 3
rd
John, Jude or Revelation. Those books are
supplied in John Gwynns edition of the General Epistles from The Crawford Aramaic manuscript and others of these books.
These books have been included in the Western Canon of The Syrian Orthodox Church, The Maronite Church and others which
use the Aramaic NT, however, the General Epistles in those churches have been based on The Harklean Syriac Version , which
is a translation from the Greek NT into Aramaic done in AD 616. The text used by John Gwynn is not The Harklean Version.
The texts of the two editions are quite diverse in many places.

(The Messiah) axysm (of Yeshua) ewsyd (& an apostle) axylsw (servant) adbe (Petros) owrjp (Shimeon) Nwems 1:1
(in honor *) arqyab (equal *) tyws (who for the faith) atwnmyhld (to those) Nylyal
(of our Lord *) Nrmd (by the righteousness) atwqydzb (were worthy *) wywtsa (with us) Nme
(The Messiah) axysm (Yeshua) ewsy (& our Savior) Nqwrpw

Shimeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Yeshua The Messiah, to those who were esteemed worthy for the faith,
equal with us in honor, by the righteousness of our Lord and our Savior Yeshua The Messiah.

* * All Greek mss. have isotimov isotimov isotimov isotimov equally precious in place of these two Aramaic words; isotimov isotimov isotimov isotimov is a compound word
iso iso iso iso equal + timov + timov + timov + timov precious. Interestingly , the Aramaic words arqyab & tyws can mean in worth &
equally.
* All the Greek mss. have lacousin lacousin lacousin lacousin they obtained by lot ; The Aramaic wywtsa were worthy is very similar to another
verb wytsa which means they imbibed, they received. I posit that the word wywtsa were worthy was read as wytsa -
they imbibed, they received and translated lacousin lacousin lacousin lacousin they obtained by lot.The Greek for they were worthy or they
were esteemed worthy is axioi axioi axioi axioi hsan hsan hsan hsan or axiwyhs axiwyhs axiwyhs axiwyhsontai ontai ontai ontai or kat kat kat kataxiwyhsontai . axiwyhsontai . axiwyhsontai . axiwyhsontai . Which of these looks like lacousin lacousin lacousin lacousin they
obtained by lot ? So is it unlikely the Aramaic reading wywtsa were worthycame from Greek reading , lacousin lacousin lacousin lacousin they
obtained by lot. It looks far more likely that the Greek came from the Aramaic text. (By the way:Does God cast lots?)
Here are the two readings in Aramaic: wywtsa They were worthy (Gwynns Edition)
wytsa They received (Hypothetical base for Greek reading)

* Greek has skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov- Tent. Aramaic for Tent is alljmb Matlala or anksmb Mashkna.
The actual Aramaic reading is argpb -bpagra-in body this.
In DSS script, the actual Aramaic reading is )rgpb .,Again,this is )rgpb
DSS Aramaic for in a Tent Matlala is )ll+mb;& Mashkna)nk$mb . The firstAshuri pair have 66%
correlation.The Greek for body would be swma swma swma swmatov tov tov tov; Compare Greek -skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov- Tent.One is seven letters and
one is ten letters. One other fact mitigates against the Aramaic being derived from the Greek- The Greek word skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov skhnwmatov
is traditionally often used metaphorically for the body as a tent for the soul, according to Greek philosophy and theology.
The Aramaic word does not carry that usage. Hence it seems much more likely the Greek is a translation of the Aramaic than
vice versa. It is not likely an Aramaean would have translated skhnwma skhnwma skhnwma skhnwmatov tov tov tov tent as argpb body.
Here is an excerpt from Thayers Greek English Lexicon for skhnnwma : skhnnwma : skhnnwma : skhnnwma :

1) a tent, a tabernacle

* Greek has tartarwsav tartarwsav tartarwsav tartarwsav Tartarused, Cast into Tartarus? a participle from Tartarus not found anywhere else in
Greek literature.The noun form Tartarov Tartarov Tartarov Tartarov is found in The LXX (Job 40:20) where it refers to the quadrapeds in the
deep. This use of the noun is much more in keeping with the meaning of the Aramaic in this verse-the depths.
C * There are two Greek readings here:Most mss. have- eiv krisin throumenouv eiv krisin throumenouv eiv krisin throumenouv eiv krisin throumenouv unto judgment being kept and the two old
uncials (a-4
th
cent & .A -5
th
cent.) ) ) ) have - eiv krisin kolazomenouv threin eiv krisin kolazomenouv threin eiv krisin kolazomenouv threin eiv krisin kolazomenouv threin unto judgment being punished to be kept.
Each of these is represented in the Aramaic text to be kept for judgment of torment. Both of these can be derived from the
Aramaic; it would be very difficult to maintain that the Aramaic interpolated these two readings into one to form a translation
into Aramaic. This kind of split reading and split translation in Greek from Aramaic occurs in so many places and with all
possible text types and even individual Greek uncials that it is almost inconceivable to argue that the Aramaic was based on all
Greek ms. readings in so many places in The NT.

* Greek has ayesmwn en aselgeia ayesmwn en aselgeia ayesmwn en aselgeia ayesmwn en aselgeia -of the impious in wantonness; the Aramaic language is an upgrade in information
and intensity from the Greek, which is typical for The Peshitta compared to the Greek. Another term for this is lower entropy
(higher information and organization content) ; a translation will have less information and detail than its original.The Greek
consistenty exhibits this trait compared to The Aramaic text and hence exhibits the traits of a translation whereas The Peshitta-
Aramaic NT exhibits the traits of an original document.

* ** * ayx Khaya (Life) is always treated as a plural word grammatically and is connected with plural predicates i.e. were
revealed, those,which were , but is usually translated as a singular. This same feature occurs with the Hebrew word for
Life Khayim - Myyx as used in Genesis 2:7 and elsewhere. I have it as plural in the interlinear just to highlight this fact
and to give a very literal and consistent translation in which the noun and its predicates are plural as they are in Aramaic. In a
prose translation, Khaya will usually be rendered as singular.

* Greek has paraklhtov paraklhtov paraklhtov paraklhtov Paracletos ,Comforter,Advocate. Some think this Aramaic word ajlqrp (Parqlayta) is
a loan word from Greek. The reverse is probably true; ajlqrp is a compound of two words: qrp-Praq , Redeemer + ajl
Layta, The accursed . The word in Aramaic indicates a Savior , which is perfectly fitting and descriptive of The Messiah
here and in chapter 5, as well as in John 15, where The Holy Spirit is called Khrayna Parqlayta Another Savior . The
Greek word is rather tepid by comparison; a comforter or advocate does not bespeak the power and perfection of our
Lords role and that of The Holy Spirit in our redemption. In times like these, we need a Savior, says the famous hymn The
Solid Rock. Nothing less will do.

The only difference from the Aramaic is the verb ecei ecei ecei ecei has, where the Aramaic says confesses.

* Greek has gegenhtai gegenhtai gegenhtai gegenhtai- -- -has been born . Born in Aramaic would be dlyta. Compare to yhwtya-is in DSS script :

yhwty)- Is
dlyt)- Born

Ashuri (with DSS Lamed)
yhwtya- Is
dlyta- Born

Estrangela
yhwty0 Is
dlyt0 Born

A careful look at the second pair of words shows a close resemblance in four letters of the second word (underlined and
highlighted blue in color version) with four of the first word. The script in the original Aramaic manuscript translated into
Greek seems to have been a hybrid script- a cross between Ashuri and the DSS Aramaic script used in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Evidence from other readings also supports this conclusion.

Critical Greek (a, a, a, a,A,B,C,P,Q) Q) Q) Q) interprets this as -& we are.

Greek has o diabolov o diabolov o diabolov o diabolov The Devil three times in this verse & once in verse 10; The Peshitta has anjo Satan
in those places. The LXX uses diabolov diabolov diabolov diabolov almost exclusively (25 out of 27 occurrences) to translate the Hebrew Njv
Satan.Aramaic has another word for The Devil AkalQartsa. If The Peshitta were a translation of the Greek text, it
would most likely translate o diabolov o diabolov o diabolov o diabolov The Devil with aurqlka aurqlka aurqlka aurqlka- -- - AkalQartsa , not anjo Satana. aurqlka aurqlka aurqlka aurqlka- -- -
AkalQartsa and diabolov diabolov diabolov diabolov The Devil both mean The Slanderer; anjo Satana. means The Adversary.
As it stands in the Majority Greek text , Satana Satana Satana Satana Satan (a transliterated Aramaic word in Greek letters) occurs 37 times in
The NT (counting one Hebrew spelling- Satan Satan Satan Satan) and Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov in all forms occurs 38 times. Sixteen of the 38 places in
which Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov occurs, The Peshitta has anjo Satana in eight books of the NT (Matthew,Luke,John,1 Tim.,2
Tim.,Hebrews,James,1 Peter,1 John).
The data suggests an Aramaic original; the LXX model translation of Hebrew confirms this.

behind the Greek.

C The Critical Greek and Latin Vulgate agree with the Peshitta reading here: I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for it is
The Majority Greek has I am not ashamed of The Gospel of Christ, for it is

* Whether of Judeans first or of Aramaeans is highly significant. The Peshitta has the word, (Aramaeans) aymra
twenty times in Matthew,Luke,Acts and Pauls epistles. (Aramaic)- tyamra, occurs twice once in Gal. 2:14 and once in
Rev. 9:11. What is really interesting is that almost all The Greek mss. use the word ellhn ellhn ellhn ellhn (Helleine) in all but one of the
above places . Here is the Strongs entry for the word: 1672 ellhn Hellen hel-lane from 1671; TDNT-2:504,227; n m ;AV-
Greek 20, Gentile 7; 27
1) a Greek either by nationality, whether a native of the main land or of the Greek islands or colonies
2) in a wider sense the name embraces all nations not Jews that made the language, customs, and learning of the Greeks their own;
the primary reference is to a difference of religion and worship .

The Greek NT has no reference whatever to Aramaeans or Aramaic. It does have the word , Syros (Syrian) once in Luke
4:27, Naaman the Syrian. The Greek has apparently de-Aramaized The NT ! The Peshitta has eight references to Greeks as
well as four to the Greek language in Luke,John,Acts, Romans and Colossians. According to The Greek NT, Aramaic and
Aramaeans might as well not have existed ! There is no mention of them anywhere. This makes the Greek highly suspect as a
candidate for an original. It appears to have been culturally purged of all Aramaean references and thoroughly Hellenized or
reculturated to suit a Greek audience. This is a literary genocide I had not encountered prior to this discovery. I am amazed
that it occurs in the Greek New Testament , the supposed original Gospels and New Covenant for all peoples. The Aramaean
people and the Aramaic language were almost universal in Asia Minor and The Middle East and The Holy Land of Israel , and
had been for many centuries.
The proper order of the Gospel testimony would have been to The Jews of Israel first, then the Syrians and Assyrians in Syria,
Mesopotamia, Persia, Asia Minor (called Asia then) all of whom spoke Aramaic and whose written Aramaic was the same
though not spoken the same, since dialects did not affect Aramaic writing significantly. Later, the books were translated into
Greek for Greek speaking peoples of The Roman Empire.

That The Peshitta would be a translation of Greek makes no sense here, or in the 19 other references to Aramaeans in the
Peshitta. There are too many references to Greek in The Peshitta for there to have been a replacing of Greek with
Aramaean . The Peshitta in Luke and John mentions The Greek inscription on the cross; six references to the Greeks and
Hellenists exist in Acts , who heard and accepted the Gospel which Paul preached to them in Greek.There is no anti Greek
bias in The Peshitta NT. There is a very obvious anti- Aramaean bias in The Greek NT.

Please see my book, Divine Contact , in which I discuss the possible reasons for this literary genocide of Aramaeans.My web
site aramaicnt.com also has a study of all the references where Aramaean & Aramaic occur in The Peshitta NT.

* Greek has unprofitable. wyltoa is the true reading-they have been rejected. They are unprofitable is
Nylyjb or Nqyro or wqrtoa ; This last one is very similar to The Peshitta reading . That correlates very closely to the
actual they are rejected reading - (80% correlation).The Greek word is hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan - -- -they are unprofitable;
They are Rejected would most likely be adokimoi . adokimoi . adokimoi . adokimoi .These Greek words are not at all alike.The Aramaic wyltoa seems to
account for the Greek; the Greek hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan hcreiwyhsan - -- -they are unprofitable seems an unlikely source for the Aramaic reading.

M * The Majority Greek agrees with the Peshitta reading in this verse, whereas the Critical Greek omits upon every person .
Romans 1:16 however is clearly favored by the Critical Greek text; so which Greek text did The supposed Peshitta translator
use for his translation ? But there are so many examples of this alternation between Greek texts that the Greek primacy theory
cannot be maintained against the entire array of NT data.The Peshitta primacy theory can easily account for the Greek
readings as alternate and sometimes heavily edited and paraphrased translations of The Aramaic Peshitta original.

aeysr Rashyaa- means Wicked .Here is the word in old Aramaic as found in the Dead Sea Scrolls: )(y$r
Compare this to the Aramaic word Zaddiqa, which means Righteous, in the same script : )qydz
Might this explain the Greek reading, Hardly for a righteous man would someone die, yet peradventure for a good man
some would even dare to die., whereas the Peshitta has Hardly for a wicked man would someone die. ? Lest someone think
the Peshitta got its reading from the Greek, I present the four possible Greek words for Wicked and the Greek word for
Righteous in Greek script in their proper grammatical forms for this sentence ,in order:
Wicked- anomou, anomou, anomou, anomou, kakou kakou kakou kakou, ,, ,ponhrou ponhrou ponhrou ponhrou, ,, , ayesmou ayesmou ayesmou ayesmou & Righteous- dikaiou. dikaiou. dikaiou. dikaiou. Does any of the red underlined Greek words look
like the word dikaiou dikaiou dikaiou dikaiou ? ?? ? I didnt think so. The Greek cannot give an accounting for the Aramaic reading , at least, not a very
credible one, when compared to the Aramaic Peshitta words in old Aramaic above. I have not even mentioned the fact that the
Greek reading of this verse doesnt make much sense, whereas the Peshitta does. Why would it be hard to die for the righteous
and easier to die for the good ?

Peshitta can account for both the Greek and Latin readings, but they cannot account for the Peshitta.

* Greek has amartolov amartolov amartolov amartolov Sinful. Sinful in Aramaic could be any number of forms of the word Sin ajx. Since
the Peshitta reading condemned is a verb, I looked for a feminine verb form of sin to see what looked like byxtt-

The Greek amartolov amartolov amartolov amartolov Sinful literally means, sinner which would be a verb in Aramaic , hence my finding of a
future verb is validated as what a Greek translator probably interpreted The Peshitta reading to be.
I dont see that The Aramaic verb condemned would have come from the Greek amartolov amartolov amartolov amartolov Sinful. It would be
Condemned in Greek is katadikasyhsh katadikasyhsh katadikasyhsh katadikasyhsh katadikasythaysay , which is nothing like amartolov amartolov amartolov amartolov - -- -Amartolos (0%

This is more strong support for Peshitta primacy and evidence against Greek primacy.

* Greek has Abba Abba Abba Abba (Abba) which is not a Greek word, nor even a loan word, but an Aramaic word transliterated into Greek
letters. Why in the name of Sam Hill would Paul be writing Aramaic words to Greek speaking people in Rome (not that I grant
his audience spoke Greek) ? And why would he report that the cry of The Spirit of adoption (The Holy Spirit) would cause us to
cry Abba, unless he were translating from an Aramaic original ?This word Abba occurs in the Greek NT in Mark 14:36,
here and in Galatians 4:6. Why this occurs in The Greek is not seriously dealt with by Greek primacists; one writer cites such
Aramaic transliterations in Greek as proof of a Greek original ! He seemed to think that if the original were Aramaic, every
word should be transliterated and then translated into Greek !
has numerous examples of this phenomenon of transliteration of Aramaic words into Greek; The Peshitta has The Greek NT
no such examples of Greek words transliterated into Aramaic (apart from a few proper Greek names).

N * Greek has will separate us.The difference between the two in Aramaic is one letter at the end of y yy ynsrpn will sever
me.In DSS script the word is yn$rpn ; will sever us is } }} }$rpn . The Greek for us is hmav ; hmav ; hmav ; hmav ; me is me me me me or eme eme eme eme .
These pronouns are not similar in Greek as they are in Aramaic, therefore the evidence supports the theory that the Greek is
translated from The Peshitta rather than vice versa. The Greek hmav hmav hmav hmav Us would not likely give rise to Me in Aramaic.

Greek Uncial script:
HMAS HMAS HMAS HMAS Us
EME EME EME EME -Me

y yy ynsrpn-will separate me
Nsrpn-will separate us

yn$rpn-will separate me
} }} }$rpn-will separate us

Estrangela Aramaic script:
yn$rpn-will separate me
N NN N$rpn-will separate us

The Greek word pair have a 25% letter correlation between them; The Aramaic pair , in each of the three scripts, have 66% to
83% letter correlations (Dead Sea Scroll has 83%; the other two -66%).This shows that the Greek reading was much more
likely to come from the Aramaic than vice versa.

And the patriarchs, and from them The Messiah appeared in the flesh, Who is The God Who is over all, to Whom are
praises and blessings for an eternity of eternities, Amen.

This is a very important doctrinal statement of the Deity of The Christ.Paul wants it understood that Yeshua is not merely an
addition to a pagan pantheon of deities; He is The Supreme God over all the universe.
The Greek mss. have- o w o w o w o wn epi pantwn yeov euloghtov eiv touv aiwnav amhn n epi pantwn yeov euloghtov eiv touv aiwnav amhn n epi pantwn yeov euloghtov eiv touv aiwnav amhn n epi pantwn yeov euloghtov eiv touv aiwnav amhn: Who is over all, God blessed to the ages.
Amen. This looks like a paraphrase of The Peshitta, substituting blessed to the ages for- to Whom are praises and
blessings for an eternity of eternities. The Peshitta did not get that reading from a Greek manuscript.

I show the Hebrew verse being quoted from Hosea atop The Aramaic of The Peshitta so the reader can compare the two
texts.The Hebrew verse word order I have rearranged somewhat, switching the last half of the quoted portion with the first half.
It is not uncommon for a translator or writer to quote a verse with a different word order than the original. This does not
change the meaning at all.Cognate and parallel words in the Hebrew and Aramaic of the two verses are highlighted in the same
color.

with The Name of Yahweh. It occurs twice in The Peshitta, here and in James 5:4. ayrm Marya is the Aramaic cognate
for Yahweh , the Hebrew Name for God usually translated in English Bibles as LORD in The OT; sometimes translated
Jehovah , with which I translate ayrm Marya in The Peshitta Interlinear.

I have displayed the Hebrew verse of Isaiah and The Peshitta below it to show the reader how the Aramaic quotations are
written in the same letters and have the same structure as the Hebrew Bible they quote. Cognate words are highlighted in the
same color, so the reader may see how many cognate words in Hebrew are similar to the Aramaic words. An Aramaic quote
like this from The Peshitta would be a much more precise representation of the state of the first century Hebrew Bible which
was available to the Jews of Israel at the time, than a Greek translation could be. Greek and Hebrew are very different
languages in many ways. Hebrew and Aramaic are very similar in grammar, syntax, spelling, vocabulary and appearance, both
Semitic, and using the same alphabet and first century script in Palestine. Notice also that Aramaic has the sacred
Tetragrammaton Name MRYA which parallels The Hebrew YHWH and is used only to designate Yahweh, The LORD
GOD of Israel. Greek does not have this Name, substituting Kurios Lord, which can often refer to a mere human master
or king. The Peshitta NT designates Yeshua (Jesus) as MRYA(The LORD GOD of Israel) over 30 times ! The Greek NT
does not do so , as it adheres to Kurios only in most of those places.

In verse 20, as in others, The Peshitta shows a strange independence from The Massoretic Hebrew Bible and from The Peshitta
OT. It also disagrees with the Greek reading of the verse and with The LXX , except that The LXX has the same meaning for
the first word of the verse I am manifest, where the other texts have I am sought. The Peshitta has a different word
order for the two verbs , not sought and not asked, the reverse of all other OT texts. It also disagrees with The Targum of
Jonathan in this verses word order.The Peshitta NT has all the earmarks of an original text; it is not artificial, contrived or
conventional. It shows no signs of being standardized or conforming to any known traditional text, either in the Gospels,Acts or
Romans, or anywhere else in The New Testament.
Those who contend that it is a translation cannot point to the text it translates; those who say it is a revision cannot show what it
revises nor by what text it is revised. Furthermore, no one can give any historical evidence for either a translation which
produced The Peshitta nor for a revision which produced it, yet it is and has been the sole New Testament text used by Eastern
and Western Aramaean Christian churches from their schism in AD 451 ( & it certainly existed before that time, being
extensively quoted verbatim by Aphraates in Aramaic circa AD 330).

Verse 21 is different from The Hebrew Bible and is more similar to The LXX reading, though the verbs contentious and
disobedient are reversed in The LXX. The Apostle Paul seemed to use a hybrid Hebrew text with many readings midway
between The Massoretic and LXX type text.

* Greek has crhmatismov crhmatismov crhmatismov crhmatismov The Divine response, oracle; The Aramaic rmata -It was said - may have been seen as
a code word to a Greek translator meaning God spoke. The Greek uses an active verb legei legei legei legei says with
crhmatismov crhmatismov crhmatismov crhmatismov as the subject . This occurs in quite a few places in The NT where a word with Alap-Tau - ta at the start or end
occurs and Greek supplies a Divine title or Name where it does not exist in The Peshitta . Alap-Tau is found in Rev. 1:8 and
other places as a Divine title for The Messiah. (See note at 1 Timothy 3:16).I have an article on this at my web site
http://aramaicnt.com called The Alap Tau Code.

* Greek has I shall take away. tlqs is the most common verb form for I shall take away; compare to the
reading here I shall forgive tqbs ; In Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script , they are tlq$ tqb$ . With the Dalet
proclitic added , we have tlqsd tqbsd ; tlq$d tqb$d there is 60-80% correlation between the two words,
depending on how you analyze them. In DSS , the letters Lamed l ll l and Bet b are similar enough to mistake one for another,
even though they have slightly different positions in their respective words; all the other letters are each in both words, so it is
very easy to believe they could be confused, each for the other. The human eye is the best judge of this. Here are the two words,
one atop the other: Ashuri Aramaic script:
tlqsd-I shall take away
tqbsd-I shall forgive


tlq$d-I shall take away
tqb$d-I shall forgive
80% correlation for both Aramaic pairs

Here are the Greek words for I shall take away & I shall forgive : afelwmai & afhsw (36% correlation)

The quotation is quite different in The Peshitta from that of the Greek and Latin versions.The Greek is a quote from Deut. 32:35
(not LXX, but Hebrew or Peshitta).The Peshitta text of this verse cannot have come from the Greek of this verse; it is not like
any OT text that I can find in Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic. It may be a quote from The Apocrypha or Pseudopigrapha.

Greek has two readings: Critical Greek has aga aga aga agayw ergw yw ergw yw ergw yw ergw -to a good deed ; The Majority Greek has agaywn agaywn agaywn agaywn
ergwn ergwn ergwn ergwn -to good deeds. The Aramaic of The Peshitta can have either meaning.It can also mean what I have translated
the doer of good. The Greek has also two readings for asyb Beesha : kakw kakw kakw kakw Evil & k kk kakwn akwn akwn akwn Evils.The
Aramaic can explain all four Greek readings in this verse without changing one letter of Aramaic.

* Klyd ald -dla dilak not yours is matched with the Greek word allotrion allotrion allotrion allotrion allotrion- strange, foreign in three
places in the NT: Luke 16:12 , Here (Romans 14:4) & Hebrews 9:25.If the Peshitta were a translation of Greek, this Aramaic
phrase would not exist in those places. Other words would be much more suitable anrxad , ayrkwn , atyrkwn .
Klyd ald -dla dilak not yours is not a translation of the Greek allotrion allotrion allotrion allotrion- -- - strange, foreign .The Greek seems to
be a paraphrase of the Aramaic phrase. Most Greek mss. also have yeov yeov yeov yeov God where The Peshitta has hrm his Master.
The Aramaic hrm -his master is no translation of yeov yeov yeov yeov God; yeov yeov yeov yeov -God is an interpretation of hrm -his master.
ydyab ajm Mta beeday is an idiom meaning, to have power, to be able .

, yet the Majority The Peshitta times in 303 was the title the disciples used for Jesus; it occurs Our Lord Maran Nrm *
Greek has it kuriov hmwn, kuriou hmwn, kuriw hmwn, kurion kuriov hmwn, kuriou hmwn, kuriw hmwn, kurion kuriov hmwn, kuriou hmwn, kuriw hmwn, kurion kuriov hmwn, kuriou hmwn, kuriw hmwn, kurion nmwn nmwn nmwn nmwn, with and without def. articles, 79 times and The
Critical Greek text 73 times. That is only 26% and 24% , respectively , of the Peshitta occurrences ! The Peshitta then has
about four times as many references to Our Lord as the Greek texts ! That is a staggering number for a Greek primacist to
account for, by which I mean, the hypothetical Aramaic translator of Greek into The Peshitta added the personal plural
pronoun our at least 220 times to his translation where it did not exist in Greek from Matthew to Revelation. That is highly
inconsistent with what occurs in translations. Translators invariably drop pronouns , prepositions and definite articles in an
attempt to simplify and smooth out a text in a translation for its readers-especially in a Semitic to non-Semitic language like
Aramaic to Greek.I have documented this in a comprehensive study comparing The LXX (Septuagint) with The Hebrew Old
Testament, where this is exactly what I found in a computer analysis of the texts. The Greek NT and The Peshitta also compare
in the same way as The LXX to The Hebrew Bible in every one of the twenty cognate word pairs I examined and searched
throughout the NT. The Peshitta has much more information than does The Greek NT (Byzantine or Westcott & Hort). The
Hebrew Bible has much more information than The Greek LXX. This fits the template of the relation of an original text to its
Divine reader to my web site and my book I again refer the . translation, as verified by linguistic scholars for many years now

N * Greek has ierourgounta ierourgounta ierourgounta ierourgounta perform priestly function where The Peshitta has & I may labor; A very similar Greek
verb ierateuein ierateuein ierateuein ierateuein occurs in one other place Luke 1:8 , matching the Aramaic Nhkm .Another form is Nhka ; & I may
function as priest would be Nwhkaw .Lets compare the Peshitta reading with this in DSS script: xwl wl wl wlp)w : }w }w }w }wh hh hk)w The Kap
-k and p -(Pe) could be easily confused, as Kap in Ashuri script is k . The h He and wl Lamedh-Waw could easily be
confused by pushing the latter two together more; the same applies to x Khet & }w Waw-Nun . Here they are again without
color coding :
Ashuri Aramaic:
xwlpaw-& I may labor
Nwhkaw-& I may serve as a priest

DSS Aramaic:
xwl wl wl wlp)w & I may labor(Peshitta)
}wh }wh }wh }whk)w & I may serve as a priest(Greek reading)

Notice how the last three letters of The Peshitta reading xwl wl wl wl can be matched with the last three of the hypothetical reading
behind the Greek -}wh }wh }wh }wh : x split vertically through the middle would be -}w }w }w }w ; wl wl wl wl could be fused together to form h hh h . DSS
p (Pe) is very similar to an Ashuri k (Kap) , which is k (Kap) in DSS script. These considerations give almost 100%
correlation for the two words in DSS Aramaic script.

* Greek mss. Vaticanus (B) and Sinaiticus (a) (both 4
th
century) have Yew Yew Yew Yew-God without the personal possessive pronoun
mou mou mou mou-my.The difference between these two readings in Aramaic would be (not that the Aramaic has two readings):
yhlal & ahlal. In Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script, these look like this:
yhl)l -to my God
)hl)l - to God-

Might this explain the Greek readings ? There is only one letter distinguishing the two in Aramaic. Perhaps a Greek translator
mistook the first one for the second word and translated it as Yew Yew Yew Yew-God, whereas most Greek mss. have Yew mou Yew mou Yew mou Yew mou-my
God.The two major Greek texts (Critical Alexandrian and Byzantine) would be the result of separate translations of The
Aramaic of The Peshitta; the Alexandrian appears to have been done a bit later as a revision, not a completely new translation,
using the Byzantine text as a base..

Greek mss. P
46
,B and a (The major reps. of Alexandrian text) have ebaptisyhte ebaptisyhte ebaptisyhte ebaptisyhte you were baptized. The Peshitta has
tdmea I have baptized. You were baptized could be one of a few forms; the most likely candidate for explaining the
Greek variant reading is Nwtdme , which has simply two letters added onto the end and one at the beginning of the actual
reading. Here are the two in DSS script:

tdm() I have baptized
}wtdm(You were baptized

If a Greek translator skipped a letter ()) and read tdm( , he would still have interpreted I have baptized; the next letter
is an Alap ) in verse 16 (another tdmea I baptized follows), in which the Alap ()) could be dropped and still the word
would make sense.Suppose that the Alap - ) were seen as part of the previous word tdm( (v. 15) as the last letter -
)tdm( but somewhat distorted - h or x or }w }w }w }w . If this last }w }w }w }w were what he saw (actually the two letters Waw,Nun) then we
can understand how the Greek variation }wtdm(You were baptized originated. Here are the actual words in The Peshitta
verses compared to the hypothetical Aramaic behind the Greek variant:
tdm()tdm()ym$d-in my name I baptized;I baptized..(Actual Peshitta reading)
tdm(}w }w }w }wtdm(ym$d--in my name you were baptized;I baptized..(Hypothetical Aramaic base of Greek)
The difference in the two readings is two letters in Aramaic or four letters in Greek.
The two readings rendered in Greek are: ebaptisa ebaptisa ebaptisa ebaptisa & ebaptisyh ebaptisyh ebaptisyh ebaptisyhte; te; te; te;
In ancient uncial script: EBAPTISA EBAPTISA EBAPTISA EBAPTISA & EBAPTISYHTE. EBAPTISYHTE. EBAPTISYHTE. EBAPTISYHTE.
It appears the Aramaic forms can explain the Greek readings but not vice versa.Alexandrian Greek has 4 letters more than the
Majority Greek reading, which is not a likely cause for mistaking EBAPTISA EBAPTISA EBAPTISA EBAPTISA for EBAPTISYHTE EBAPTISYHTE EBAPTISYHTE EBAPTISYHTE or vice versa.

Aramaeans would most likely be a reference primarily to Syrians. Syria had ruled the Northern half of Israel many centuries
before and shared the Aramaic language and Semitic culture of the Hebrew people.

* The Peshitta has the word, (Aramaeans) aymra twenty times in Matthew,Luke,Acts and Pauls epistles. (Aramaic)-
tyamra, occurs twice once in Gal. 2:14 and once in Rev. 9:11. What is really interesting is that almost all The Greek mss.
use the word ellhn ellhn ellhn ellhn (Helleine) in all but one of the above places . Here is the Strongs entry for the word:
1672 ellhn ellhn ellhn ellhn Hellen hel-lane from 1671; TDNT-2:504,227; n m ;AV-Greek 20, Gentile 7; 27
1) a Greek either by nationality, whether a native of the main land or of the Greek islands or colonies
2) in a wider sense the name embraces all nations not Jews that made the language, customs, and learning of the Greeks their own;
the primary reference is to a difference of religion and worship .

The Greek NT has no reference whatever to Aramaeans or Aramaic. It does have the word , Syros (Syrian) once in Luke
4:27, Naaman the Syrian. The Greek has apparently de-Aramaized The NT ! The Peshitta has eight references to Greeks as
well as four to the Greek language in Luke,John,Acts, Romans and Colossians. According to The Greek NT, Aramaic and
Aramaeans might as well not have existed ! There is no mention of them anywhere. This makes the Greek highly suspect as a
candidate for an original. It appears to have been culturally purged of all Aramaean references and thoroughly Hellenized or
reculturated to suit a Greek audience. This is a literary genocide I had not encountered prior to this discovery. I am amazed
that it occurs in the Greek New Testament , the supposed original Gospels and New Covenant for all peoples. The Aramaean
people and the Aramaic language were almost universal in Asia Minor and The Middle East and The Holy Land of Israel , and
had been for many centuries.
The proper order of the Gospel testimony would have been to The Jews of Israel first, then the Syrians and Assyrians in Syria,
Mesopotamia, Persia, Asia Minor (called Asia then) all of whom spoke Aramaic and whose written Aramaic was the same
though not spoken the same, since dialects did not affect Aramaic writing significantly. Later, the books were translated into
Greek for Greek speaking peoples of The Roman Empire.

That The Peshitta would be a translation of Greek makes no sense here, or in the 19 other references to Aramaeans in the
Peshitta. There are too many references to Greek in The Peshitta for there to have been a replacing of Greek with
Aramaean . The Peshitta in Luke and John mentions The Greek inscription on the cross; six references to the Greeks and
Hellenists exist in Acts , who heard and accepted the Gospel which Paul preached to them in Greek.There is no anti Greek bias
in The Peshitta NT. There is a very obvious anti- Aramaean bias in The Greek NT.

Please see my book, Divine Contact , in which I discuss the possible reasons for this literary genocide of Aramaeans.My web
site aramaicnt.com also has a study of all the references where Aramaean & Aramaic occur in The Peshitta NT.

phrase arymxbwith the leaven was read as aryjpb -with the unleavened;
Lets look at these two in DSS script: )rymxb -with the leaven In Ashuri Aramaic: arymxb with the leaven
)ry+pb -with the unleavened . aryjpb with the unleavened.
The DSS pair have at least 66% letter correlation (4 of 6 letters are identical) ; In Ashuri, they are even more similar- 82%.
* The last word in Aramaic is atwsydq Holiness . Compare this with atswq Truth (Greek has Truth) .Lets
compare these two side by side in DSS Aramaic script: )tw$ydqdw And of Holiness . Take out the two red
letters w & d and you are essentially left with- )t$wqdw And of truth . The Yodh of the first word
(y ) and the Waw # 2 (w ww w ) of the second word are easily confused or interchanged in The Great Isaiah Scroll without
changing meaning- it is a spelling variation.There is 77% letter correlation in the two Aramaic words.
Here is the actual Aramaic word with the two letters removed: )t$yqdw .
Here is the Aramaic word for & of Truth --------------- )t$w ww wqdw .
It appears that 1 Corinthians was written in Aramaic and in a hybrid script combining features of The Dead Sea Scroll script
(Yodh-y , Waw w ww w ) and Ashuri script (Mem-m, Teth-j, Pe-p) ; more data will be needed to verify or refute the script, but
Aramaic certainly is the better candidate for the original language in Corinthians than Greek .

Greek for holiness is agiwsunhv , agiasmou , osiothv or agiothv. Which of these looks like alhyeiav (truth)? At best,
agiwsunhv & alhyeiav have 22% letter correlation.

hmkoa Iskemeh (form) sounds like the Greek word Euschma Euschma Euschma Euschma- (Euschema), which the Greek mss. have in this
place. Some think this is evidence The Peshitta is translated from the Greek. However, the Greek root schm schm schm schm- -- - occurs 23
times in The Greek NT, whereas The Peshitta has amkoa Iskemeh in only six of those places; so the Aramaic is not a
transliteration of Greek. This kind of charge against the Aramaic being a mere copying of Greek is really without merit .

We know that Aramaic came long before Greek. Aramaic inscriptions date back to 910 BC.
Now lets have a look at the names of their letters (Greek counterparts not in Greek order):

Aramaic was the language of Aram state in Ancient Syria. The alphabet is a development of the
original alphabet developed by the Phoenicians (1100 BC). The Greek and Latin alphabets are
both decendents of this script.

The Greek alphabet was the first alphabet to include vowels. It is over 2500 years old. It is used for
all forms of Greek.


The above charts and comments are from krystal.com , which analyzes the history of writing. Looking at the Greek and
Aramaic letters, one can see how Greek letters are similar in many cases to their Aramaic-Phoenician counterparts.
Compare the Old Aramaic Alap ) with Greek Alpha A ; Alpha is an Alap on its side. An Old Aramaic Bet b , reversed
and enclosed at the bottom is almost a beta - b bb b; Old Aramaic Gimal g flipped over becomes the Greek Gamma g gg g . The same
for the next letters d and d and h and E EE E (flipped left to right) ,w and U UU U , etc.. No one believes Aramaic came from
Greek in its origin. It only stands to reason that many Greek words would have come from Phoenician and Aramaic words. Of
course, Aramaic later picked up Greek words where Aramaic speaking people were exposed to commerce with Greek speaking
people, and vice-versa.

Aramaic has a long and illustrious history in the Middle East and The Holy Land; it was one of the first written Semitic
languages and helped shape the history of the world for almost 2000 years, being distinguished along with Hebrew as a holy
tongue-one of the two original languages of The Old Testament scriptures. Greek was a later tongue which facilitated
propagation of The LXX OT and The NT into The Roman Empire, in which Greek was the most common language spoken.A
major reculteration based on Greek seems to have occurred, starting with Alexanders campaign to make Greek the universal
tongue of his empire in the late 4
th
century BC. He was largely successful, though he could not reform Mesopotamian language
(Aramaic) or that of Israel. Those peoples were too isolated and zealous of their traditions to be purged of their mother tongue.
Josephus made it plain that first century Israel was not Greek speaking. He had to study Greek to learn it well enough to
translate his volumes from the language of our country into Greek , though even then, he wrote that he was not fluent in
Greek . He knew of two or three who were proficient in Greek and had been rewarded for their pains, meaning they had
to have studied long and hard to obtain Greek learning, as the Jews discouraged such education in the pagan tongue.
The argument that first century Israel spoke Greek simply has no foundation in historical fact and is contradicted by the one
historian of Israel (Josephus) who wrote more of Israels history than all others combined- and he lived in Israel from AD
37 until the end of that century.

have -ina pantwv tinav swsw ina pantwv tinav swsw ina pantwv tinav swsw ina pantwv tinav swsw , that by all means I may save some.The Latin Vulgate has: omnes facerem salvos- That
I may save everyone. John The Baptist had the same mission statement for Israel (See John 1:7).Remember the Great
Commission ? Go ye, therefore, and instruct all nations; and baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit.Instructing involved more than evangelizing; it involved baptizing them and teaching them to observe all
that I have commanded you.This is a command to make everyone a believer and disciple of The Lord Jesus Christ.Pauls
heart was fully committed to our Lords command and purpose. In Colossians 1:23 he writes: (MUR) provided ye continue in
your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is
proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister. The world was evangelized in one
generation by Pauls efforts and those of his converts. Paul wrote: the preaching of the cross is the power of God (Coloss.
1:18).

* aopwj Tupsa (Example, Type) occurs six times in its noun form and once in its verb form.Some scholars seem to
think this is a translation-transliteration of the Greek Tupov Tupov Tupov Tupov- -- - Tupos. Tupov Tupov Tupov Tupov -Tupos occurs in only three of the seven
places where aopwj Tupsa occurs; Tupos also occurs in twelve other places where aopwj Tupsa is not found.This
is not evidence for Greek primacy. This data is typical of such supposed examples of Greek being transliterated into Aramaic of
The Peshitta. At most, these Aramaic words are loan words from Greek, even as Greek has loan words from Aramaic, Hebrew
and Latin, and vice versa.

* Greek has to the Greeks.The Aramaic New Testament books would have been addressed to Jews and Aramaeans, since
both groups spoke Aramaic.The Greek NT never has to the Aramaeans in the 20 places where the phrase occurs in The
Peshitta;the Peshitta never has to the Greek where the Greek texts have that phrase.But the Greek (translation) was written
to Greeks, not to the same audience for which the Aramaic original was written.Interestingly, the Greek NT has no reference to
Aramaeans or Aramaic at all, not even Syrians (Naaman the Syrian excepted, who had been dead about 800 years).On the
other hand, The Peshitta has 8 references to Greeks and Greek.This looks suspiciously like a Greek reculturation of Aramaic
references into Greek; the opposite obviously did not happen.

First century Aramaic verse:

& drink you eat of our Lord for the day what is right acc. to not you assemble therefore when
}yt$w }wtn) }ylk) }rmd hmwyl qdzd cy) wl }wtn) }y$nktmd lykh )m

is right as one as is right as one as
Misreading:qdzd Kya as adx Kya, DSS script: qdzd ky) as )dx cy) = Greek epi to auto = together or
into one place.
Apparently , because the writing was difficult to read, the Greek translator saw the two green words (in the color edition)
qdzd cy) -According to what is right and read it as )dx cy) -together , picked up at }rmd -(of our Lord)
and so on to You eat & drink. Since of our Lord- Nrmd is without the normally preceding noun to modify, it was taken as
modifying the phrase after it, which unfortunately is a verb phrase (You eat and drink). This phrase was changed into a
Greek noun deipnon deipnon deipnon deipnon ,deipnon- supper , and the awkward stand alone genitive construct without an accompanying preceding
noun was made into an adjective in Greek k kk kuriakon uriakon uriakon uriakon , kuriakon -belonging to the Lord. Then }ylk) }rmd (the
eating of our Lord) became kuriakon deipnon kuriakon deipnon kuriakon deipnon kuriakon deipnon Lords supper.
The verb }ylk) was probably read twice , the second time as eating, the first as supper.

Kuriakon Kuriakon Kuriakon Kuriakon - kuriakon occurs only in the New Testament and later Christian writings (here and in Rev. 1:10) and seems to have
been invented for this particular verse. Interestingly, the verse in the Aramaic Crawford ms. of Revelation has absbdxd
amwyb the first day of the week, which is the Aramaic term for Sunday, which is what the term to which the day of our
Lord in this verse refers. The LXX has no use of this word among its 475,000 words; Josephus Greek translation of 329,000
words has no such word, nor any Greek writing before the first century.

Hypothetical pre-Greek Aramaic text :
& drink you eat supping of our Lord one as not you assemble therefore when
}yt$w }wtn) }ylk) }ylk) }rmd )dx cy) wl }wtn) }y$nktmd lykh )m

One thing seems clear: The Aramaic of this Peshitta verse did not come from the Greek text.The words qdz qdz qdz qdz -Zadek (it is
right) and hmwy hmwy hmwy hmwy Yoma (day) do not appear in any Greek manuscript.

Critical Greek mss. lack broken. Lukes Gospel records the verb bhytm given; Most Greek mss have
broken. I explain this discrepancy by appealing to the image of our Lord breaking the bread; the action of breaking it was
communication as much as His spoken words; He spoke by demonstration as well as by voice, so the disciples saw the word as
well as heard it. This may explain many apparent discrepancies in scripture. Our Lord communicates to us via five spiritual
senses as well as five physical senses: Oh taste and see that The LORD is good. All thy garments smell of myrhh and
cassia out of the ivory palaces How sweet are Thy words to my lips, sweeter than honey. Kiss The Son.Hear the
word of the Lord and live; Look unto Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth.

No Greek ms. has or can have The blood of Jehovah or The body of Jehovah, as Greek has no word for the Sacred Name
God revealed to Moses. The Peshitta has this Name ayrm MarYah- Lord Yahweh or Lord God. Greek has
Kurios, which means, Lord, whether of God or a human king , landowner or dignity. No text , whether Old or New
Testament, that has not The Sacred Name God revealed to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, can hold any claim to being original or
inspired. Greek cannot be the language of the original, much less the text of the original. Consider that as The Greek LXX

cannot rightly record one word as it was originally given to the Hebrew prophets, so The Greek NT cannot properly contain
one word as it was given to the Aramaic speaking Jews and Aramaeans who wrote the NT. There is absolutely no evidence
that God ever spoke any word of scripture in any languages other than Hebrew and Aramaic.(See Acts 26:14 for NT evidence
of the Deity speaking Aramaic, remembering to look up the Greek definition for ebraiv ebraiv ebraiv ebraiv-Hebrais).

* Is there any question that The Peshitta NT names Jesus The Messiah as Jehovah or Yahweh , if you prefer ? The point
is that He is named as The Deity of the Hebrew people and of the whole world, Who revealed Himself to Moses and the
prophets.The Peshitta NT names Jesus (Yeshua d Natsari) as ayrm -Mar-Yah -Yahweh, at least thirty times. Greek
cannot do this, for it is a non- Semitic tongue which never developed a word equivalent for Yahweh.

But when we are judged by our Lord , we are chastised severely lest we be condemned with the world.

Verse 32 has a doubled verb in Aramaic an infinitive and participle of the verb adr Reda-
travel,proceed,teach,chastise.
This is typical usage in Hebrew and Aramaic used for emphasis; it did not come from Greek, which has no double verb here
and does not employ such except in translating Hebrew or Aramaic, and then very rarely.

* Greek has I do not wish you to be ignorant. This phrase is found in Greek Romans twice, 1 Cor. thrice, 2 Cor. twice, 1
Thess. once and in Hebrews once. The Peshitta never uses that phrase in those places; it has a positive , I want you to know,
which is much more direct and to the point. Greek Mark 2:19 is similarly verbose , supplying ten Greek words for one Aramaic
word al
-No ! It would appear from the pattern in Pauls epistles that the same person translated all of them into Greek.

N * Greek has Fwnwn Fwnwn Fwnwn Fwnwn Phonone Sounds where The Peshitta has languages.The Aramaic for Sounds would be
alq, aynlq , Nylq . In DSS script :. )lq lq lq lq,)ynlq. Languages in DSS is )n$ld .
Lets compare with Aramaic for Sounds :)n$ld
I do not think the Aramaic ) )) )n$ld n$ld n$ld n$ld -Dleshana was misread as ) )) )ynlq ynlq ynlq ynlq Qalanaya. The fact is that the Greek word -
Fwnwn Fwnwn Fwnwn Fwnwn Phonone Sounds can also mean voices or languages ; It refers to language in 2 Maccabees in The
LXX several times. I have highlighted the above two grey shaded words simply to illustrate that even the two most similar do
not reach the level of correlation needed to support a relationship and basis for explaining a Greek reading as a translation of
a misread Aramaic word. There is only 40% letter correlation (2 out of 5) between the two Aramaic words. That is too low a
score to support that )n$ld was read as )ynlq .
What I do affirm of the Greek of this verse is that it is very awkward and that it does not explain the distinct Aramaic words
Leshana ansl Languages and Qala alq Sound at the end. The Greek has in the place of each Aramaic word-
fwnwn fwnwn fwnwn fwnwn Phonone & afwnov afwnov afwnov afwnov Aphonos . Aphonos is a negative of Phonos. It means Noiseless, Dumb,
Voiceless. Both Greek words have the same root fwnh fwnh fwnh fwnh- Phone. It does not make good sense to say , There are many
phonics in the world, and not one of them is without phonics- but this is what the Greek says. If phonics refers to
language, then a-phonics refers to no language; if it is sound, then a-phonics refers to no sound. The Greek is
unclear and confused; The Aramaic is quite clear, using two distinct words : Leshana- Language and Dla Qala-
without sound. I reject the notion that The Peshitta is clear because it fixes the confusing or unclear readings of the
original Greek. The original New Testament would not be ridiculous or absurd; the Greek NT is just that in some places. The
errors cannot be evaded or erased. Some are in every known Greek witness to a particular text.

* Greek has Barbarov Barbarov Barbarov Barbarov- Barbarian, which is a loan word from Aramaic; The Aramaic ayrbrb Barbarya is really a
compound word of two : Bar rb- Son and Baria ayrb - the outside; the compound word then literally means,
Son of the outside; it therefore refers to foreigners or strangers. Greek is not the origin of this Aramaic word, but the
converse is true.

N * Greek has zhlwtai zhlwtai zhlwtai zhlwtai este pneumatwn este pneumatwn este pneumatwn este pneumatwn You are zealous of spirits; Gifts are not mentioned.This makes for a
rather unusual reading.The Peshitta certainly did not get Gifts from Greek.One late uncial Greek ms. (P- 9
th
cent.) has
pneumatikwn pneumatikwn pneumatikwn pneumatikwn -pneumatikwn- spiritual things, but there is no evidence that early Greek mss. had this reading.

N * The Greek mss. agree with The LXX (Isaiah 28:11) with the reading ceilesin ceilesin ceilesin ceilesin-lips; The Peshitta NT agrees with The
Peshitta OT reading in this word, allmmb in speech. The Hebrew OT has Mocking lips. This prophesy probably
refers to the Aramaic language which was to be used during the Babylonian and Persian captivities in writing Daniel 2-7 and
Ezra 4:7-6:18 and later when The NT was given in Aramaic, as well as the gift of many languages spoken to the dispersed Jews
on The Day of Pentecost by the apostles and other disciples.

N * The Aramaic has the 2
nd
person personal pronoun You five times (sometimes doubled in verb and separate pronoun);
Greek has no pronouns here. A translator will normally drop pronouns to smooth out the translation, especially when
translating from a Semitic to a non Semitic language, as Semitic languages like Hebrew and Aramaic have pronouns attached
to verbs , nouns , prepositions and even adjectives like all . The Greek NT is not so pronominal and The Greek NT bears
uncanny resemblance to The LXX in its relationship to The Peshitta in the ratio of pronouns, preps., conjunctions, etc.. See my
study on this in my book- Divine Contact.

N * Greek mss. all have katecete katecete katecete katecete you hold, where The Peshitta has you remember, call to mind.Here is the Aramaic
for hold in the plural: Nydxa , Nydyxa .Compare these with Nydhe remember-The Peshitta reading above.Then see
them in DSS script: }ydx) -Hold ; Here they are in Ashuri Aramaic : Nydxa -Hold
}ydh(-Remember Nydhe -Remember

Either script displays very close resemblance between the two words. One extra small downward stroke on the Ayin of the DSS
script - ( would make it an Alap -) ; Everything else is essentially the same in both words. This illustrates plainly how the
Greek reading was derived from The Peshittas Aramaic. The Greek word for You remember is mnhmoneuete mnhmoneuete mnhmoneuete mnhmoneuete . Does that
resemble katecete katecete katecete katecete you hold ? Hardly ! The Greek cannot account for the Peshitta reading here with credibility.

Nydxa -Hold

Nydhe -Remember

* atym tyx Khayth mitha-life of the dead -See Matthew 22:23; this phrase has to do with the afterlife, not bodily
resurrection. The same phrase was used by the Sadducees who denied the afterlife. Our Lord quoted the Torah (the only books
Sadducees accepted) to show Abraham,Isaac and Jacob were alive after death. He did not refer to their physical resurrection,
as their dead bodies had never been raised from their graves.So this passage in Cor. refers to spiritual life after physical death;
it also would apply to salvation for the lost. The word Khaya very often refers to salvation; a high percentage of occurrences
are paralleled by the Greek root , "swzw swzw swzw swzw- (Sozo)-To save. When The Holy Spirit uses the words Living& Life( tyx
& ayx) , He does not refer to those who are half dead or completely dead. He refers to those who have eternal life. Life from
the dead or Life of the dead is the salvation of those who are lost, not a mere bodily resurrection of spiritually dead people.

Greek has If the dead do not rise added at the end of the verse, which looks like a repetition of the first phrase (If the dead
do not rise) of the next verse, which all Greek mss. also include in its entirety. Codex D is the only ancient Greek ms. that
reads v. 15 without that phrase, as does The Peshitta.

(live again) Nymyq (not) al (for) ryg (those who died) atym (if) Na 16

If those who have died do not live again, neither does The Messiah live.

Mq Quum and Nymyq Quumine can mean , rise,stand,be alive,abide,exist. Here is the entry for Myq from Smiths
Compendious Syriac Dictionary :

Since the same root word is used both of those who died and The Messiah, I have used the same translation here to illustrate
the drama of Pauls argument for the universal results of the resurrection of The Messiah Yeshua, in which uses reverse logic to
illustrate the absurdity of denying universalism; If those who have died do not live again, then The Messiah is dead.

For just as by Adam , all people die , in this way also , by The Messiah , they all shall live.

There is only one word given by Paul as the foundation and cause for universal salvation which outweighs all objections
against his declaration, and that word is axysm -Meshikha- Messiah; Whoever denies the universal effect of the death
and resurrection of The Messiah denies The Person of The Messiah Who is Absolute & Omnipotent Eternal Deity, Who
came to save the world(John 12:47) . If the world is not saved, then The Messiah is dead. That is essentially what verse
16 says. The Messiah Yahweh cannot fail in any way, certainly not in His mission to save the world by His death and
resurrection.

I see at least 66% correlation here.

N * Greek mss. have omilia omilia omilia omilia-companionship (found once in The Greek NT) . The Aramaic atyews
Shawaytha,talking,discourse, is very similar to
atyws Shawytha, agreement, fellowship,equality. The Aramaic
atyews Shawaytha,talking,discourseoccurs four times apart from this verse. In those places the Greek has muyov, muyov, muyov, muyov,
Mythos-speech,saying, story,fable. If the Aramaic were translated from Greek, it is unlikelyomilia omilia omilia omilia would be translated
atyews-Shawaytha .It would most likely be translated atyws Shawytha. The adding of the third letter e (Ayin) to form
atyews-Shawaytha by accident would be too fortuitous and unlikely an event to account for the Peshitta reading. Scribal
errors are far more likely to involve omissions than additions; Nor would omilia omilia omilia omilia(Homilia) be mistaken for muyov muyov muyov muyov or the
plural muyoi muyoi muyoi muyoi. .. . It is far more likely atyews Shawaythawas misread as atyws Shawytha by a Greek translator, who
wrote omilia omilia omilia omilia where he should have written muyoi muyoi muyoi muyoi-(fables,stories).The two Aramaic words have an 84% correlation.

The Majority Greek text contains the word Kurios Lord in its various forms 625 times; in 240 of those places , The
Peshittas Aramaic has ayrm- Jehovah . Why 38% of them ? If The Peshitta were a translation of The Greek NT, it seems
strange that 38% of Kurios Lord would be interpreted as Jehovah, even in such verses as this which does not quote
OT or refer to it at all. About 275 of the 625 are Nrm Maran-Our Lord in Aramaic. So The Peshitta NT uses Mar-
Yah (The Lord Yahweh) about half the time and Maran (Our Lord) about half the time where Kurios occurs.

The Peshitta primacy model explains the data much better than Greek primacy does. A Greek translator would have little
choice in translating MarYah or Maran ; Kurios would be the one Greek word most suitable, since both MarYah and Maran
come from the root rm-Mar, which means Lord. In a few places, Yeov Yeov Yeov Yeov God is used instead or in conjunction with
Kurios to signify The Deity , but like The LXX, which translates Yahweh thousands of times, Kurios is the translation of choice
more than 90% of the time.

Whoever does not love our Lord Jesus The Messiah, let him be damned; our Lord has come.

I think I understand why Paul wrote, let him be damned. Jesus The Messiah is so precious to those who know Him and they
love Him so much that the thought and feeling toward a professing Christian who does not love Him is, to hell with him.I
dont believe this verse consigns the unbeliever to eternal damnation, though it is a very tempting concept for believers; our
love to God can blind us at times to His love for His enemies. We must remember that all of us were enemies toward God at one
time. If we love Him now, it is because He first loved us and sacrificed Himself to save us. It is by sheer mercy and grace that
we are saved; that same grace and mercy is to be extended to all who are lost. They are dead in sins and the emptiness of the
world system.
This verse refers to those in the church body, not those outside. What have I to do to judge those outside ?, wrote Paul. All
false brethren deserve to be excommunicated and ostracized from all Christian fellowship. They belong to Satan, and should be
delivered over to him fully, so that they either repent or die and suffer the eternal torments, that their spirits may be saved in
the Day of our Lord The Messiah.Eternal torment is not everlasting torment; we must distinguish the two. Dlama is
that which is timeless, according to Paul. Everlasting defines an infinite time. Infinite time cannot be timeless. Here I
leave the matter for the reader to decide what eternal torment means.

* Greek mss. have maran aya maran aya maran aya maran aya -Maran atha or marana ya marana ya marana ya marana ya -Marana tha. This two word phrase is two Aramaic words,
not Greek at all, not even loan words from Aramaic; these are two Aramaic words in Greek letters. The Majority Greek text has
maran aya maran aya maran aya maran aya , -Maran atha from ata Nrm meaning Our Lord has come or Our Lord is coming. The Critical Greek
has marana ya marana ya marana ya marana ya -Marana tha, which comes from at anrm ? Come, our Lord.

What business had Paul writing an Aramaic phrase to Greek speakers in Corinth ? The only reasonable explanation is that this
is evidence of an Aramaic original (The Peshitta has ata Nrm -Maran atha -our Lord has come).For some reason, the
Greek translator avoided translating this phrase into Greek and transliterated it instead. I surmise that it was thought
incriminating to write in Greek that our Lord had come in the Roman Empire where Greek was known and where Christian
loyalty to The Christ was considered subversive and treasonous toward Caesar. To write that He was present in The Roman
Empire might aggravate Caesar (especially Nero) as Christs birth did Herod the Tetrarch and he was moved to kill all male
children two years old and under in Bethlehem.The Greek NT was intended for all Greek speaking peoples in The Empire of
the first century.The Aramaic original was sent to all the churches addressed in the Epistles, as those congregations were
founded and largely peopled by Aramaic speaking Jews of the diasporas of Babylon and afterward.

This Maran atha transliteration supports an Aramaic original and a Greek translation of that Aramaic original.

by side in DSS script:

)nysx violent, powerful
)ysx spares,pardons


This is strong support for a Peshitta Aramaic original and a Greek translation version of that Peshitta Aramaic original for
2 Corinthians, as in the case of 1 Corinthians and in Romans as well. This kind of evidence exits through all of Pauls Epistles
, even in the one page Epistle of Philemon !

N * His gift is not in the Greek; nor is may confess Him; Greek has for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many,
thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf. God seems to have been displaced in the Greek text by humans.

Greek has sincerity of God- eilikrineia yeou eilikrineia yeou eilikrineia yeou eilikrineia yeou where The Aramaic verse has only atwykdbw & in purity. This occurs in
about 30 verses in the NT where Greek has God or Christ and The Peshitta does not, or does it ? A careful scrutiny of
such verse shows that in about 22 of those verses, Aramaic has a noun or verb connected to the Deity in which the first two
letters or the last two letters of that word are Alap-Tau or Tau-Alap the first and last letters of the Aramaic alphabet, which
are named in Revelation 1:8 as The Name of The LORD God and Messiah; they are so used three times in Revelation. It so
happens that the word Purity in this verse has Tau-Alap at the end of it: atwykdbw ; It also so happens that the noun
atwykdbw without those last two letters has exactly the same meaning it has with them- Purity.This seems to be the trend in
those 22 verses; the code word with Alap-Tau has essentially the same meaning even without those two letters , which two
letters are then apparently translated as Theos (God) or Christos (Christ) or even a word associated with Deity: creimatizo creimatizo creimatizo creimatizo
Divinely revealed or eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia Divine virtue. See my book , Divine Contact for the complete list and discussion of this
Alap-Tau Code in The Greek NT, available at http://aramaicnt.com

N * For a spectacle - atzx ; In DSS: )tzx .Greek mss. have yriambeuonti yriambeuonti yriambeuonti yriambeuonti to triumph. The Aramaic for to
triumph is akzn - )kzn or aykz - )ykz or atkz- )tkz ; Victory is atwkz - )twkz . Here is the actual Peshitta reading
Vision and the Aramaic for Victory one under the other in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script: )tzx -Vision
)twkz -Victory

How uncanny is that ! If the first two letters of the second word were closer together, the words would be almost identical ! It
is possible to misconstrue the first word for the second. If the original Aramaic manuscript being translated had a slight break
at the top of the first letter- x Khet , it might have looked like the two letters kz Zayin , Kap; indeed the Khet does look
like two letters put together: x and the alternate letter reading in small fonts looks like this: kw .
Here again are the two the actual and the hypothetical as it may have been interpreted by a Greek translator:

Actual Peshitta Aramaic reading: )tzx = Vision,Spectacle
Hypothetical Greek translation Aramaic base : )twkw = Victory

The Greek for vision is yewria yewria yewria yewria or orama orama orama orama or optasia optasia optasia optasia or orasiv orasiv orasiv orasiv - -- - Which of these looks like yriambeuonti yriambeuonti yriambeuonti yriambeuonti to triumph
? It would seem that the Aramaic did not come from the Greek reading, but rather the Greek reading came from the Aramaic of
the Peshitta.

* The Greek NT has epwrwyh epwrwyh epwrwyh epwrwyh were hardened; The Peshitta Aramaic word here is wrweta were blinded.Here is the
Aramaic word for Were hardened is wybeta . Lets line up the two Aramaic words side by side in three Aramaic scripts:

English translation Ashuri Aramaic Dead Sea Scroll Estrangela
Were blinded - wrweta wr rr rw(t) wrw(t0
Were hardened- wybeta wyb(t) wyb(t0

Again, the DSS script reveals the closest resemblance between the actual Peshitta reading and the hypothetical Aramaic base
for The Greek NT translation. There is 83% letter to letter correlation in the two DSS words. The underlined letters are Resh
and Yodh, respectively, which are practically identical but are oriented a bit differently. I suspect that the Resh r rr r would have
been rotated about 35 degrees counterclockwise - and the Waw w to its right had been written hastily with an extra and
inadvertent leftward bottom stroke after the down stroke- The result would be something like w (t) , which might well
pass as wyb(t). The Estrangela pair is second with 65% correlation.
The Greek word for were blinded would be etuflwyh etuflwyh etuflwyh etuflwyh.Compare epwrwyh epwrwyh epwrwyh epwrwyh were hardened , the actual Greek
reading.
In uncial Greek, these words are: E EE ETUFL TUFL TUFL TUFLw ww wYH YH YH YH - -- - : E EE EP PP Pw ww wR RR Rw ww wYH YH YH YH (uncial script was used in most ancient Greek mss.).This is
63% correlation. The root words of each of these Greek words are what differ here, TUFL TUFL TUFL TUFL- (Blind) and P PP Pw ww wR RR R-
(Hard), which makes unlikely the prospect that the one was mistaken for the other . The similar letters are the grammatical
verb endings that define person, number and mood of the verbs; The first letter E E E E helps define tense all these letters are the
same in hundreds of different Greek verbs. No matter how one analyzes this, Peshitta primacy finds support here while Greek
primacy suffers another setback.

N * For Satan , Greek mss. have beliar beliar beliar beliar Beliar a name of Satan- of Syriac (Aramaic) origin according to
Thayers Greek English Lexicon. What business had Greek speaking Corinthians with an Aramaic name for Satan- especially
one as obscure as Beliar ? The fact is that the Corinthians were Aramaic speakers, as this and other Aramaic words in the
Greek translation show. See Maranatha and Satan(both found in Corinthians) in Strongs Concordance. I challenge
anyone to find this Greek transliteration beliar beliar beliar beliar -Beliar anywhere else in any Greek literature in the world. leylb
Belial is found in The Hebrew Bible 27 times;once The Greek LXX translates this as belial belial belial belial- -- - Belial.

N * For adas Demons , Greek mss. have eidwlwn eidwlwn eidwlwn eidwlwn idols. It seems the Greek translator had a problem translating
Satan and Demons in this passage.Perhaps this was due to the cultural gap separating the Greek culture of the readers of
The Greek NT from the Semitic Eastern culture of The Jews who received the Peshitta original. Greeks did not esteem demons
as evil spirits, but as benign and desireable deities, such as the Muses. The famous philosopher Socrates had spoken of his
Daemon-(demon, deity) which inspired him to speak wisdom.The Jewish culture did not seek to be possessed by spirits; All
such spirits were unclean to them and the thought of being possessed was repulsive to them.Greeks also were not familiar with
the concept of Satan, as that was also a Jewish doctrine and belief.The Greek NT is inconsistent in this regard, which does
transliterate Satana 37 times out of the 49 times this Aramaic name occurs in The Peshitta.

* There is an important clue in discerning which of two versions is the original and which the translation, when it is known that
this relationship exists between them, as in the case of The Peshitta NT and The Greek NT. Lets use Satan as a model
case:The Aramaic word for Satan anjo occurs in the Peshitta NT 49 times . The Greek word satana satana satana satana- Satana
occurs 37 times. When I look (using Online Bible, with dozens of Bible versions, including The Peshitta, Greek NTs, Latin,
KJV, Murdock,etc.) at the parallel versions of The Greek and Aramaic verses after searching for all the verses with the Greek
word satanav satanav satanav satanav Satanas(all forms of the word are searched), I find that everyone of these is matched by The Aramaic
word anjo Satana . When I do the search for the Aramaic anjo Satana, I find that it occurs a total of 49 times and that
the Greek word satanav satanav satanav satanav (in all its forms) is found to match it only 37 times. The version that is matched with the greater
percentage of the cognate language word occurrences is the translation ; the other version is its original ! This method is
consistent with the LXX-Hebrew Bible model in a study of matching cognate words in each. The Peshitta NT comes out
consistently as the original behind The two Greek NTs I compared with it, even as The Hebrew Bible is shown to be the
original behind The LXX Greek text. This method is consistent for the many thousands of data I have tested and accumulated
thus far for The Old Testament and The New Testament. The reader may read the data and results of this experiment in my
book, Divine Contact, available at http://aramaicnt.com

* ayohrp (Parehesya) Frankness has a cognate in Hebrew ayohrp (identical) ; this is possibly a loan word from
the Greek word parrh parrh parrh parrhsia sia sia sia (Parraysia), in which case, the Hebrew is also borrowed from Greek, or else the Greek borrowed
this from Aramaic or Hebrew. There are many such words in Greek which may be borrowed from Aramaic. Please know that
Greek borrowed the Semitic Phoenician alphabet for its own Greek alphabet. Aramaic is very similar to Phoenician , from
which the written form was derived around 1100 BC.
* My afflictions is Our afflictions in all Greek mss. apparently. This same phenomenon occurs in Mark 9:22,Romans 8:35
& 39, Galatians 2:4, 1 Thess. 2:18 & [2 Tim. 1:18]. The suffix y (Yodh),meaning My was mistaken or not seen after the n
(Nun) . A final Nun often means Us or Our. Us in Greek is hmav hmav hmav hmav; our is hmwn hmwn hmwn hmwn My is mou mou mou mou . In uncials
(capital letters) they are HMw HMw HMw HMwN & or EMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU or MOU. . . . Us and Me are HMAS HMAS HMAS HMAS & EME EME EME EME or ME ME ME ME. .. .
ynulwa looks much more like nulwa than EMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU looks like HMw HMw HMw HMwN. This supports Aramaic primacy here and in those other
references where these pronouns differ. The Greek primacy position is weak here and in those places.

For us & for our sake is for me in the Greek mss. This is the reverse phenomenon of what I present above in
verse 4.
Ntwld for us was probably read as ytwld for me.Here are the Greek phrases for each: HM HM HM HMw ww wN & EMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU. . . . Only one
letter in each word is the same-M MM M ( (( (called Mu). ). ). ). That is 25% correspondence.
Here are those words in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script:
}twld }twld }twld }twld
ytwld twld twld twld

Every word pair comparison in Aramaic is a powerful exhibition for Peshitta primacy !

Four of the five letters in each are identical. That is 80% correspondence ! It is far more likely Aramaic was the original and a
Greek translator mistook the Aramaic word }twld }twld }twld }twld for ytwld twld twld twld than the reverse scenario of a Greek original where HM HM HM HMw ww wN is
mistaken for EMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU. .. .

They sought of us with much entreaty that they might share in the grace of the ministry of the saints.

M * Critical Greek has With much exhortation, entreating of us the favour and the fellowship of the ministry which was for
the saints. The Greek here is vague; Did they want to serve or be served ? The Majority Greek adds, to receive after
entreating of us. The Majority Greek is closer to The Peshitta here, but both Greek texts lack the verb Nwptwtsnd that
they may share, which has been turned into a noun - koinwnian koinwnian koinwnian koinwnian fellowship. I dont see either Greek text behind The
Aramaic text; I do see omission and very loose paraphrase of the Aramaic text behind the Greek readings.

Greek has h cariv tou kuriou ihsou cristou cariv tou kuriou ihsou cristou cariv tou kuriou ihsou cristou cariv tou kuriou ihsou cristou The grace of The Lord Jesus Christ; The Peshitta has The peace of our
Lord Jesus The Messiah. Grace in Aramaic can be htbt . Peace is hmls . Lets compare the two in three Aramaic
scripts:

Ashuri:
hmls Peace
htbj- Grace,Goodness

DSS:
hml$ Peace
htb+ -Grace,Goodness

Estrangela
hml$ Peace
htb+-- -Grace,Goodness
It appears that either the Ashuri or Dead Sea Scroll scripts could account for the Greek reading of cariv . cariv . cariv . cariv .The DSS pair look
the most alike. Three of the four letters (75%) of each word look similar and could have been confused. An argument could even
be made that the remaining letters l ll l and b may be confused one for another.

The Greek for Peace is eirhnh ; eirhnh ; eirhnh ; eirhnh ; Compare to cariv cariv cariv cariv Grace . . . . Here they are in ancient uncial Greek script:
EIRHNH EIRHNH EIRHNH EIRHNH Peace & CARIS CARIS CARIS CARIS Grace. . . . There is no resemblance between them whatsoever. So how would an Aramaean
translating Greek into Aramaic see CARIS CARIS CARIS CARIS and translate as if he saw EIRHNH EIRHNH EIRHNH EIRHNH ? Beats me, but this is typical of the many
differences between The Peshitta and The Greek NT ; The Aramaic of The Peshitta can account for many Greek readings where
they differ; the Greek cannot account very well , if at all, for The Peshitta readings.

The data in Corinthians decidedly supports Peshitta primacy -(The Peshitta as the original behind the Greek texts).

* Most Greek mss. have Petrov Petrov Petrov Petrov ,Petros Peter; some old uncial Greek mss. have khfan khfan khfan khfan Cephas , which is the Greek
transliteration of the Aramaic name apak (Kaypha). Petros is the Greek translation of Kaypha- A stone, A
rock.As you examine Galatians, look for other verses with these names. In some verses, the Aramaic name is used in all Greek
mss (2:9) whereas in other verses , only the Greek name is used in all Greek mss (2:7,8). This is more evidence added to the
heap of witnesses for Aramaic primacy. The Peshitta has Kaypha in all these places.John 1:42 in Greek plainly declares that
our Lord named this disciple Kaypha, and that his name translated into Greek is Petros. Some Greek scribes chose to
transliterate the name in Pauls epistles, showing that the original epistle had the Aramaic name; others chose to translate it,
but not consistently, for they sometimes also transliterate it,also giving evidence of an Aramaic original.

aymra Aramaean is ell ell ell ellhn hn hn hn Greek in the Greek mss. Greek- ellhn, ellhn, ellhn, ellhn, would not be translated as aymra
Aramaean.But 20 times out of the 21 occurrences of Aramaean in The Peshitta NT , The Greek mss. have ellhn ellhn ellhn ellhn
Greek; once the word surov surov surov surov Syrian is used , which is an acceptable Greek translation. So the Greek NT has only the
word Greek for Aramaean and Aramaic. The Peshitta NT , on the other hand, has a dozen occurrences of Greek
aynwy & tyanwy.It certainly was not cleansed of references to Greek by changing them to Aramaic.How can these things
be, if The Peshitta is a translation of The Greek NT and The Greek NT is not a translation of The Peshitta ? It does appear
that the Greek books were purged of all reference to Aramaic and Aramaeans from Luke,
Acts,Romans,1Cor.,Galatians,Colossians and Revelation !The LXX at least uses surov surov surov surov * suristi suristi suristi suristi ( (( (Syrian & Syriac)
for the Hebrew Mra & tymra (Aramaean & Aramaic). Syrians are Aramaeans; Greeks are not Aramaeans. I detect
some funny business in this. See my web site http://aramaicnt.com for an article on this subject (Aramaic to Greek in The Greek
NT).

* For to enslave me- Greek mss. have that they might bring us into bondage:
Here is the Peshitta reading: ynnwdbesnd ;
Here is the Greek reading in Aramaic Nnwdbesnd -that they might bring us into bondage. The relevant variant parts are
highlighted in blue.
In Dead Sea Scroll script, we have: ynnwdb($nd-to enslave me.
} }} }nwdb($nd- that they might bring us into bondage.
Only one letter difference exists between these readings in this old Aramaic script.

In Greek the two readings are: INA HMAS KATADOULWSOUSIN
INA EME KATADOULWSOUSIN

The Greek readings highlighted in blue differ in three of four letters of the critical words . It is unlikely that a scribe translating
Greek into Aramaic would mistake HMAS for EME. This same phenomenon occurs in Mark 9:22,Romans 8:35 & 39,
Galatians 2:4, 1 Thess. 2:18 & [2 Tim. 1:18]. The suffix y (Yodh),meaning My was mistaken or not seen after the n (Nun) .
A final Nun often means Us or Our. These all argue strongly for a Peshitta original of which the Greek text is a
translation.

* Greek has he was to be blamed. The Peshitta reading They were stumbledis }ylqttm
wbyxtm means to be condemned .Here are the two readings in Aramaic, one atop the other for easy comparison:
}ylqttm They were stumbled.
wbyxtm - To be condemned. I have shaded similar corresponding letters in grey. 4 out of 6 in the second word match
closely , or 67% correspondence.
In square Aramaic we have:
Nylqttm They were stumbled.
wbyxtm - To be condemned. Again , here is 67% correspondence.
In Estrangela script:
Nylqttm
wbyxtm - Only 2 of 6 letters correspond- 33% correspondence.
The similarities may account for the Greek reading, which is not as clear a reading as the Aramaic. The Greek word for they
were stumbled is ESKANDALIZO ESKANDALIZO ESKANDALIZO ESKANDALIZON NN NTO TO TO TO-
nothing like KATEGN KATEGN KATEGN KATEGNw ww wSME SME SME SMEN NN NOS OS OS OS- he is condemned. I see only one letter correspondence here- 1/13 or 8%
correspondence.Another possibility is the Greek word AFISTANTAI AFISTANTAI AFISTANTAI AFISTANTAI for They stumbled, , , , but that does not help Greek
primacy prospects here at all.The Aramaic could not have come from the Greek reading.

language or the Aramaean people; The Syrians were the neighbors to Israel on the north and were probably the Arama-it
referred to here.

*-by the faithfulness- I think Pauls purpose is to magnify The Christ as our Savior, not our faith in The Christ. Our faith in
Yeshua is a result of His grace toward us, not the other way around. Some have made faith into a work of man rather than the
gift of God in Christ. Romans 3:22 , Gal. 2:20,3:22,Ephesians 2:8,9 , 3:12, Philipp. 3:9 and others have this same phrase
hymnotha dYeshua(the faith of Jesus) or hymnotha dMeshikha (The faith of The Messiah) as the cause of our
justification.Our faith in Him must come from His faith (or faithfulness) or it is useless and false.

Us- All Greek mss. seem to have Mein two places in this verse where the Peshitta has Us. Here is loved us
as The Peshitta has it in this verse: Nbxad ;
Here is loved me: ynbxad.
In Dead Sea Scroll script they are: }bx)d
ynbx)d
In Estrangela , they are : Nbx0d
ynbx0d The DSS script seems most easily to account for the two readings-Peshitta and Greek. The
final Nun } and regular Nun n are almost identical ; not so in square Aramaic or Estrangela.
No matter what Aramaic script is used, the differences are miniscule . The Greek for Me is ME ME ME ME and Us is HMAS HMAS HMAS HMAS. .. .
Loved me in Greek Uncials would look like : AGAPHSANTOS ME.
Loved us in Greek Uncials would look like : AGAPHSANTOS HMAS.
For us in Aramaic is Nyplx . For me is yplx. In DSS script : }yplx & yplx ; Estrangela : Nyplx & yplx . One
letter difference !
In Greek the same phrases are UPER UPER UPER UPERHM HM HM HMw ww wN NN N & UPER UPER UPER UPEREMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU. . . . This kind of reading difference occurs not infrequently in The
NT far too often to be accounted for by mistaking one Greek word such as HM HM HM HMw ww wN N N N for EMOU EMOU EMOU EMOU . The Aramaic primacy theory
best explains the Greek readings in such cases.The Greek cannot well account for the Aramaic.

* Aramaean is not in the Greek text; The Greek text has Greek. All 21 references in the Peshitta to Aramaic-Aramaean
are Greek in the Greek texts, except in Luke 4:27 , where we find Surov Surov Surov Surov-Syrian.Here is Jastrows Hebrew Aramaic
Targum Dictionary entry for Mra Mra Mra Mra the root of aymra :

A disguise for amwr amwr amwr amwr - -- -Rome ! This is starting to make sense in explaining why The Greek NT has Greek in those 21
places where The Peshitta has Aramaic or Aramaean.The Greek translator perhaps looked at aymra as code for

Roman and wanted to disguise the fact by translating it as Greek. There was good reason for that during the first century,
especially during Nero the maniacs reign (circa AD 54-68), who was so paranoid about Christians that he declared open
season on them in the empire for several years and had them set aflame to light his gardens at night !Here are two more entries
from the same Dictionary:

The above notes in these entries confirm my previous suspicions that there was deliberate alteration of the original meaning
(or apparent meaning) by disguising Aramaith & Aram as Greek. The reason may have been as I stated above, or it
may have been to create a decoy from Aramaeans and Aramaic scripture by translation of the texts into Greek and affirming
Greeks as the Gentile group being converted to The Christ and Greek manuscripts as the original text, whereas it was primarily
Aramaic speaking peoples being converted, as theHoly Land and The Middle East was primarily populated with Aramaeans
and Jews who had been speaking Aramaic for many generations and centuries. Greeks were a respected ethnic group as their
culture and language were very popular with the Romans and had great influence in shaping Roman culture and the Latin
language. The fact that the changes would exist in 20 out of 22 places throughout The NT from Luke to Revelation also
confirms my former position that all 27 Greek books were translated before the end of Neros reign in AD 68. Revelation in
Aramaic has a prologue attached to it that says it was written by the Apostle John who was exiled by Nero Caesar to Patmos.
The number of the beast of Revelation 13 is the number of Nero Ceasar in Hebrew letters roq Nwrn , which letters numerical
values add up to 666.

* Greek has stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia elements, principles ; the Greek word sounds like a transliteration of the Aramaic, though the
Aramaic is probably a Greek loan word. Some have intimated that the Peshitta transliterated the Greek here and in other
places where aokwjoa Estoksa occurs; the problem with that theory is that the evidence is decidedly against it; stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia
and stoicew stoicew stoicew stoicew roots occur 13 times in the Greek NT; The Aramaic aokwjoa root occurs only 6 times (even in Galatians,
where the Greek root stoic stoic stoic stoic- -- - occurs 5 times while the Aramaic counterpart aokwjoa occurs only twice !). There is more
evidence that the Greek is the transliteration of Aramaic than vice versa every one of the Aramaic aokwjoa Estoksa
occurrences is matched by the Greek stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia stoiceia elements, principles. I am not arguing for that , however. I believe the
Greek is simply translating Aramaic here, not transliterating.

* aba Abba is found in the Greek mss. transliterated as Abba Abba Abba Abba. What is another Aramaic word doing in the Greek ms.
presumably sent first to Greek speaking Galatians ? Abba Abba Abba Abba is not a loan word in Greek; it is simply an Aramaic word written
in Greek letters.We do not find the converse scenario ever in The Peshitta- i.e. , a Greek word simply written in Aramaic letters.
There are some loan words, but that is to be expected at a time when Greek and Aramaic speakers had been neighbors in the
Middle East for centuries.Greek and Latin loan words are found in Hebrew as well; they are not transliterations, but foreign
words adapted and adopted in the borrowing tongue. Greek also has loan words from Aramaic and Hebrew. They should never
be confused with transliterations, which abound in the Greek NT.: (Satan,Mammon,Korban,Messiah,Maranatha,Talitha
cumi, Epatha,Eloi Eloi lama shabaqthani ,Rabbi, Pasca ,Sabbath,Abba,Sabaoth,Raca,Rabboni,Hosanna,Boanerges). These
words are found by the hundreds in toto in The Greek NT.

* Most Greek mss. have What is your blessedness? The Textus Receptus (KJV Greek text) and The Critical Greek text
(Westcott & Hort 1881) have Where is your blessedness?. The Aramaic word wkya (Aykaw) usually means Where is
?, but could have been construed to mean What is ?It is a compound word , made up of wh, Is + akya Where?= wkya
But Kya Ak (aKya0 in Estrangela) can also mean What . Here is Smiths Compendious Syriac Dictionary entry:
- Notice the second to last word in the excerpt
(what). So the Aramaic again explains two Greek readings, even if one of the Greek readings is a misreading of the Aramaic.

* Greek has energoumenh energoumenh energoumenh energoumenh - -- -working ; The Peshitta reading is armgtmd that is perfected may have been misinterpreted
by a Greek translator. Aramaic words for working that may be relevant are :

Ashuri Aramaic:
atjypxd of work
ajpxtmd-which is worked
adbetmd-which is performed (72% correlation)
armgtmd- which is perfected (Original Aramaic reading)
ardetmd-which is helped
areotmd-which is done

Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic:

)r(stmd-which is done

F+ypxd of work

0rmgtmd which is perfected (Original Aramaic reading)
0db(tmd- which is performed (86% correlation)
0r(stmd-which is done
0rd(tmd which is helped The DSS script and Estrangela each have an 86% best correlation score . I take the DSS to
be the script in which this epistle was originally written, as 2:11 and 2:20 show that script to be the likely script used in those
places.
Perfected in Greek would be teleioutai teleioutai teleioutai teleioutai or katartismenh ; katartismenh ; katartismenh ; katartismenh ; Neither of these looks like the actual Greek reading
energoumenh energoumenh energoumenh energoumenh. It appears that the Greek does not account for The Peshitta reading ; the correlation between Greek words here
is very low: 33% at best, and that is only in the verb endings, not in the root words.

Here is the Aramaic reading compared with what I believe a Greek translator construed the original to be:

* Greek has anakefalaiwsasyai anakefalaiwsasyai anakefalaiwsasyai anakefalaiwsasyai to sum up, which looks like a compound made up of syr -Rish-(head,first,top)
and tdx khadath- (make new,renew). Anakefalaiwsasyai Anakefalaiwsasyai Anakefalaiwsasyai Anakefalaiwsasyai literally means, to rehead or to head up, from
ana(again,up) + kefalay- (Head). The Aramaic phrase syrd Nm is an Aramaic idiom meaning, again. The Aramaic
for renew would not likely come from this Greek word , though I can see how the Greek may come from the Aramaic phrase.

* atrbo -Sbartha comes from a root word Sbar which means To be bright. From this are derived the meanings:
Hope,Think,Look for, Be pleasant,Be intelligent,Conclude,Argue,Plan, Have an idea, Preach good news.All these are
light shedding activities.

Therefore you are not strangers or guests , but inhabitants of The City of The Holy One and children of the household of
God.

* asydqd atnydm ynb -Bnay mditta dqadisha is literally children of the City of The Holy One(s) ; Greek has
sumpolitai twn agiwn sumpolitai twn agiwn sumpolitai twn agiwn sumpolitai twn agiwn fellow citizens of the holy ones, taking asydqd qadisha as plural; asydq qadisha can be
singular or plural. Paul had already addressed the Ephesians as qadisha holy ones in the first verse of this epistle; it would
be no great statement to then say they were fellow citizens of the holy ones.They were holy ones themselves, not fellow
citizens !

Believers in The Messiah are inhabitants of The City of The Holy One and are also Gods household.How many of us
believe we are now in The City of God, which is not nearly as intimate and significant as being Gods household ?

* Greek has to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge. Here is an excerpt from Jastrows Dictionary of The
Targums , etc. , for the Aramaic word , atwbr Rabotha :

The Greek reading thn uperballousan thv gnwsewv thn uperballousan thv gnwsewv thn uperballousan thv gnwsewv thn uperballousan thv gnwsewv , normally translated-surpassing knowledge may be translated
simply excellence of knowledge , which is exactly the meaning of the Aramaic phrase in The Peshitta- atwbr artym . The
Greek after that takes on a new meaning with the word agaphn agaphn agaphn agaphn-agapayn (form of agapay)- then we have to know the
love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, which is nonsense. How can one know something that surpasses knowledge ?
Another translation of the Greek is, to know the surpassing love of the knowledge of Christ, but that is just as confusing or

moreso than the other. I think a Greek translator put agaphn agaphn agaphn agaphn- -- - love- agapay in the wrong case (accusative instead of
genitive) , which changes one letter at the end (agaph agaph agaph agaphn nn n instead of agaph agaph agaph agaphv vv v) . ) . ) . ) . If that were the case, the Greek would have the
same meaning as The Aramaic text here: the excellence of the knowledge of the love of The Messiah.

Most Greek mss. have Spirit for Light (No capital letters exist in Aramaic).The Latin Vulgate and Critical Greek
text have Light. arhwnd- Of the Light in Dead Sea Scroll script is )rhwnd .
ahwrd -Of The Spirit in Dead Sea Scroll script is )xwrd .It is easy to see how the second DSS term may have
been misread from the first , especially if the third and fourth letters rh were pushed together , looking like x . We are not
sure how the Resh r and Nun n looked ; They may have been as r n or r - n . The former pair are more similar. Even
without that supposition, there is 67% correspondence between the two words- enough to account for the majority Greek
reading.If therh letters were pushed together in the original Peshitta ms. from which Greek was being translated, that would
give 80% correspondence.
The same in Estrangela script (used in all the oldest Peshitta mss.) is a0rhwnd & 0xwrd. They are not quite as similar (50%)
.

Of Light in Greek is Fwtov Fwtov Fwtov Fwtov or F FF Fw ww wTOS TOS TOS TOS ; ; ; ; Of Spirit is pneuma pneuma pneuma pneumatov tov tov tov or PNEUMA PNEUMA PNEUMA PNEUMATOS TOS TOS TOS. . . . That is a mere 33%
correspondence. It is not very likely a translator would see PNEUMATOS PNEUMATOS PNEUMATOS PNEUMATOS and think F FF Fw ww wTOS. TOS. TOS. TOS. Peshitta primacy explains the
Greek much better than the Greek can account for The Peshitta reading.

* Greek mss. have works ergoiv ergoiv ergoiv ergoiv or ERGOIS . ERGOIS . ERGOIS . ERGOIS . The written Aramaic word for Works and Servants is the same
(adbe). The Works interpretation of Greek does not fit. A person does not fellowship with works or rebuke works; one
fellowships with people and may rebuke people.The next verse confirms that the servants meaning is the correct one.

(they do) Nydbe (that in secret) yyswjbd (for) ryg (the thing) Mdm 12
(to mention it) htwllmml (also) Pa (is) wh (abomination) dydn

The thing they do in secret is an abomination to mention.

Who are They , according to the Greek text of verse 11 ? They are The servants of darkness according to The Peshitta.
The works of darkness do nothing in secret or in public; they are what is done (object, not subject).

* Greek has a middle-passive verb faneroumenon faneroumenon faneroumenon faneroumenon- appears, is revealed . This is probably due to the fact that the Aramaic
word alg can be active or passive -reveals or is revealed, though the active sense is plainly intended. Light is what
reveals something, not what is revealed.The Greek is incorrect.

Be giving thanks always for everyone to God The Father in The Name of our Lord Jesus The Messiah .

* Greek has eucaristountev pantote uper pantwn eucaristountev pantote uper pantwn eucaristountev pantote uper pantwn eucaristountev pantote uper pantwn -Give thanks for all things, though it could mean, Give thanks
for all people; it is ambiguous in Greek. The Aramaic is very clear.Scripture says In everything give thanks, but that is a
different proposition from , For everything give thanks. I cannot see the Peshitta reading as a translation of the Greek.

* Greek has sunaylountev sunaylountev sunaylountev sunaylountev - -- -striving together; Here is the Aramaic word in the Peshitta Nwtyxuntmw & you are
celebrated. Here is the Aramaic for & you are striving: Nwtyuntmw . This is the original Nwtyxuntmw reading with one
letter dropped-x xx x.What an amazing coincidence, is it not ? Nwtyxuntmw & you are celebrated without the letter x is
Nwtyuntmw & you are striving ! You are celebrated in Greek would be ainesye ainesye ainesye ainesye or ainoumenoi ainoumenoi ainoumenoi ainoumenoi.That looks nothing
like sunaylountev sunaylountev sunaylountev sunaylountev - -- -striving together. There is no evidence here to support the idea that The Peshitta was translated from

Greek; on the other hand, the evidence for The Greek being a translation of a Peshitta original is quite compelling here and
elsewhere.

Nwtyxuntm & you are celebrated (Peshitta)
Nwtyuntm & you are striving(Greek reading in Aramaic)

The Peshitta mss. have no variant readings in this verse.
Is there any question that the Greek reading is derived from the Peshittas Aramaic ?

* The Name higher than all names is ayrm MarYah- Jehovah or Yahweh written in The Hebrew Old Testament as The

which is used for landowners, merchants and nobles, and also is used of many pagan deities, as well as for the God of Israel in
the Greek language.Greek has no name answering to The Tetragrammaton sacred Name YHWH as Aramaic does : ayrm.

The Peshitta mss. have no variant readings in this verse.

There is very little difference between the two readings in Aramaic. Part of the problem a first century translator may have had
was poor lighting much of the time; couple that with reading someone elses handwriting in an age when eyeglasses were not
available and there were no typewriters and word processors (and you must admit, the DSS script above has rather strange and
distorted looking letters , many of which are very similar in appearance).Considering everything, the Greek translator did a

very good job overall. The error rate in translation of the Aramaic is 0.4 % in 1 Corinthians by my estimation of 26 significant
word errors in the Majority Greek text; that is an accuracy rate of 99.6% ! That is not too shabby ! I doubt there are many
today who could do as well at the same task, under 1
st
century circumstances.

* Greek has politeuma politeuma politeuma politeuma-government, citizenship; I suspect that Nnxlwp (Business) was misread as Nyjwlwp
(Government) ; Look at these in DSS script: }nxlwp : }y+wlwp -government; In Estrangela :Nnxlwp Nny+wlwp
If you look carefully at the underlined letters- x & w , you can see x appears as two letters put together zw Zayin
,Waw , left to right . The letter to the left of x is n, which if pressed to the Zayin like half of xKhet , looks like a Tau nz nz nz nz
t tt t. Tau t tt t and Tet + sound very similar (T sound) ; If a Greek scribe were reading and mentally pronouncing the word
Nnxlwp as Nnytwlwp or Nnyjwlwp , he may have seen something like }nxlwp (Business) as }ntwlwp and read it aloud and then
translated from - }y+wlwp (Government). The evolution of this would look like:
1. }nxlwp }nxlwp }nxlwp }nxlwp- Our Business
2. }nz }nz }nz }nzw ww wlwp lwp lwp lwp (Khet broken into two letters- Zayin z zz z ,Waw w )
3. }yt }yt }yt }ytw ww wlwp lwp lwp lwp-A phonetic spelling of Paulautayan(Tau -t tt t [T] sounds like Tet- j [T]) (Our Commonwealth)
4. }y+ }y+ }y+ }y+w ww wlwp lwp lwp lwp- Paulautayan (Our Commonwealth , the Aramaic base for politeuma politeuma politeuma politeuma-Government )
The Greek reading may have been based on sounding out word # 3 (Paulautayan) and then writing it as #4 (Paulautayan).

And the peace of God ,Him Who is greater than every mind, will keep your hearts and your minds by Yeshua The
Messiah.

This verse could be translated , The peace of God which is greater than every mind, but then that would include Gods
mind, would it not ? Obviously, Paul was saying that God is supreme over all His creatures , not that His peace is greater than
His own mind. The Greek has: The peace of God which surpasses all understanding,and presents a contradiction in
terms which I am sure The apostle never would have written-( not to mention that The Holy Spirit would have never
written).The Aramaic verse avoids the dilemma of the Greek verse.Most people would probably not object to the Greek reading,
but our expectations from scripture should be higher than that of mere common sense or conventional understanding.The Bible
was written for all the ages to come and for eternity; It must be able to withstand the most rigorous assaults that logic can
mount against it.

The middle letter of the second word is the only significant difference in the appearance of two words; here are the two words

* Greek has kratov kratov kratov kratov Power,Dominion ; Lets compare the Aramaic of The Peshitta reading - atwbr Rabotha
(Greatness,Majesty) with an Aramaic word for Victory atwkz -Zakutha ; Here are the words in Dead Sea Scroll script
: )twbr : )twkz . How about Estrangela script ? - 0twbr : 0twkz . Any one of these scripts could justify a misreading
of the first word as the second, but I think the DSS is the most likely candidate as the source for the Greek reading (at least 80%
letter correlation).
In Greek, Greatness ,Majesty could be megalosunh megalosunh megalosunh megalosunh , uperbolh , uperbolh , uperbolh , uperbolh , megeyov , megeyov , megeyov , megeyov , uperecon , uperecon , uperecon , uperecon , megaleiothtov. megaleiothtov. megaleiothtov. megaleiothtov. Which of
these looks like kratov kratov kratov kratov Power ?
The most similar in appearance is megeyov megeyov megeyov megeyov , which has only 2 letters corresponding to kratov kratov kratov kratov (33% correlation- a generous
calculation). The Greek primacy theory again suffers a defeat here.The Greek word kratov kratov kratov kratov Power,Dominion is matched
with )twkz Zakutha(Victory) in Luke 1:51.

* Greek lacks By putting of His body, which is a very significant phrase, indicating that the events in this verse would have
occurred between the crucifixion and the bodily resurrection. This phrase in Aramaic did not come from Greek texts, as the
Greek texts simply do not have it! Apparently a Greek translator simply missed it when translating the Aramaic.

* owkra -Arkas in one definition by Aramaean Christians and in their lexicons is The seventh order of angels. anjyls
and anjwls Shultana , in its third definition is defined as The sixth order of angels. These are probably the meanings
here, as the verse seems to describe The Messiahs spiritual activity after His physical death -Putting off His body. Paul
seems to use these words in this way in his epistles.
* hmwnq Qnoma is a word used only 15 times in The Peshitta NT; It may mean self , whether of a person or a thing, but
it seems to indicate the essence of a thing, according to Paul Younan, a native Aramaean and member of The Church of The
East. With reference to our Lord, it indicates, as here, His Divine Spirit as considered apart from His physical nature.Hebrews
1:3 (Peshitta) also refers to The Qnoma of The Son of God, as does John 5:26,Ephesians 2:15 & Hebrews 9:28. Hebrews 10:1
illustrates most clearly the meaning of the word: the very essence (qnoma) of the things. The official doctrine of The Church
of the East is that The Messiah has two qnomas (a Divine qnoma and a human qnoma), not to be confused with two natures,
which according to that most ancient church are also possessed by The Messiah (called Kayana). I find no scriptural
statements to the effect that our Lord possessed two qnomas. This verse and others mention only one, by which He purged our
sins , put to shame the Principalities and Powers , made atonement for the sins of the many, has Life in His qnoma
as The Father has Life in His qnoma & in His qnoma He made of the two, one new man. Hebrews 1:1-3 indicates that
He Who purged our sins was The Divine Qnoma Who created all things and is The very Image of Gods Being. Nowhere is
there mention made of two qnomas existing in The Messiah. That concept is schizoid , it seems to me. No person or object can
have two essential identities without being two persons or two objects. Our LORD Yeshua Meshikha is One Person - One God
and One Man, as One essence and nature, completely Divine in His Person and completely human in His nature, now
glorified and raised to reign as Jehovah God , omnipresent,omnipotent and omniscient as He was from eternity.

For because of these things the anger of God comes upon His disobedient children.

Greek has The children of disobedience. Romans 11:32 says God hath shut up all men in disobedience, that upon all men he
might have mercy. The same phrase atwnoypjtm al La mettapasnawtha is used in that verse. There is hope for the
disobedient, for all of us were disobedient, but God has a plan of mercy for all people. Our hope is that God is The Father of
all, and deals with us all as His children.

So this verse shows that God saves the disobedient; who else is there to save ? Does he save the obedient ? Of course not; the
obedient have no need of salvation any more than the healthy need a physician.

The Messiah is all and in every person, is the literal statement at the end of this Aramaic verse. The Greek has literally ,
Christ is all things and in all things. Our choice is between the Universalism of The Peshitta text or the Pantheism of the
Greek text !

N * The Majority Greek has , And the peace of God.. , and The Messiah is lacking at the end. The Critical has And the
peace of Christ.. & The Messiah is lacking at the end. The Aramaic text disagrees with both Greek texts here. The Critical
reading at the beginning agrees with the Peshitta where The Majority Greek does not; both Greek texts disagree with The
Peshitta at the end.

N * Greek has The word of Christ which appears to be the transfer of the dropped Messiah at the end of the previous
verse to the beginning of this verse: axysml at the end of The Peshitta verse 15 can mean,of the Messiah. So the Greek text
appears to have interpreted The Aramaic verse 15 as ending one word short of Messiah, and then read the next sentence as
starting with axysml Of The Messiah. The Aramaic reading cannot have come from any of the major Greek texts
extant. The Greek , on the other hand, can be explained on the basis of the Aramaic.
C * The Critical Greek has , to God , whereas the Majority Greek has to The Lord.

last word in the verse and then looked back to the preceding word Nhlad of our God instead of the following word
axysmd-of The Messiah and translated tou yeou tou yeou tou yeou tou yeou - -- -of God and finally anwgab in a struggle, which in the Peshitta
verse is in the middle of the verse, but in Greek, is at the very end, so the Greek translator was accustomed to jumping around

the Aramaic verses to accommodate the Aramaic syntax to a somewhat more idiomatic Greek syntax (Though it does seem the
Greek normally follows Aramaic word order fairly closely, which testifies strongly for an Aramaic original).

(of The Messiah) axysmd (apostles) axyls (as) Kya (to be) awhml (honored *) aryqy

Greek has en en en en barei barei barei barei with a burden; aryqy can mean heavy,burdensome,honored,dear,precious. It appears
a Greek mistranslated aryqy ; Paul spoke of not seeking axbws glory and not being aryqy honored here, and of
being akykm meek in the next verse. Thayers Greek-English Lexicon has for barei barei barei barei a possible secondary meaning of
authority. I doubt Paul wanted to relinquish his authority as an apostle; that would have defeated his purpose as Gods
messenger. It also seems to me the Greek construction, en barei en barei en barei en barei belies the interpretations put upon it ; If Paul meant to
convey the idea of being a burden (in Greek) , he would not have used the preposition en en en en in, with before barei barei barei barei- -- -
burden. Even the Greek betrays a Semitic original; aryqy has a basic meaning of weight; the noun derivative of this verb
is arqya glory,honor,magnificence. Hebrew has a cognate word for rqy heavy (the root of aryqy used in this verse)
which is dbk kabad (be heavy, get honor,get glory) and it has a noun form : dwbk Kabowd-
weight,glory,honor. The Greek en barei en barei en barei en barei reflects the Semitic construction , arqyab in honor like theHebrew
dwbkb in honor, both of which are based on the root word for heavy.
So literally, en barei en barei en barei en barei is a Greek reflection of an Aramaic idiom whose literal sense is in weight not a Greek concept at all,
but definitely a Semitic one- (Hebrew,Aramaic,Arabic,Ethiopic)

(meek *) akykm (among you) Nwktnyb (we were) Nywh (but) ala 7
(her children) hynb (who cherishes) abbxmd (a nursemaid *) atynybrm (& as) Kyaw

humble is akykm ; Some Greek mss. have nhpioi nhpioi nhpioi nhpioi Babies, which is very close to the spelling in the Majority
Greek text reading hpioi hpioi hpioi hpioi- Gentle just take the first letter off nhpioi nhpioi nhpioi nhpioi and you have hpioi. hpioi. hpioi. hpioi.
Humble akykm in DSS script is )kykm . Here is the Aramaic word in DSS script for Babies- ) )) )dwly dwly dwly dwly. Lets line them
up, one atop the other in three different Aramaic scripts:
Ashuri DSS Estrangela
akykm Humble )kykm Humble 0kykm Humble
adwly adwly adwly adwly Babies )dwl wl wl wly Babies 0 00 0dwly dwly dwly dwly Babies

It appears the Dead Sea Scroll script pair are the most alike. I think four of the five letters in )kykm could have been read as
they are in )dwl wl wl wly (shaded red & underlined); but wait- if )dwl wl wl wlyBabies were close against the preceding letter Nun
(last letter of the previous word) , it might have looked like )dwl wl wl wl
y
} }} } ; now if the Yodh were rotated a bit - )dwl wl wl wl

} we can see
how this could look like a Mem m . Lets compare them again in DSS script:
)kykm Humble
)dwl wl wl wl Babies (Pressed against final Nun)

Each Aramaic corresponding letter is similar and could be read for the other- that is close to 100% correlation.
If there were only one Greek ms. with the silly reading, Babies, I would chalk it up to a misreading of the Greek majority reading
in an uncial manuscript, in which the preceding letter N NN N was read as the first letter of the following word HPIOI HPIOI HPIOI HPIOI- Gentle ,

forming NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI- Babies; Uncial mss. in Greek have no spaces between words , so this kind of error would have been
easy to make.An uncial ms. would have looked like this in verse 7:

ALLEGENHYHMENHPIOIENMESWUMWNWSANTROFOSYALPHTAEAUTHSTEKNA

HPIOI HPIOI HPIOI HPIOI- Gentle is highlighted red and underlined; Adding the previous letter N makes it NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI Babies.
However- there are too many early and diverse witnesses to this absurd reading to write it off as a Greek misreading
error.Here are the witnesses for the reading NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI NHPIOI Babies : P
65
(3
rd
century),a aa a,B,C,D,G,I,Q QQ Q, Ten Italic mss (5
th
cent. -
10
th
), Latin Vulgate , Coptic 4
th
cent. Mss., Clement (2
nd
cent., Origen (3
rd
cent.) , and other church fathers of the 3
rd
and
fourth centuries, including Ephraim the Syrian of the fourth century..
The fact that there are witnesses to Aramaic here-( Codex D quite often follows Peshitta readings- and Ephraem the Syrian
used Aramaic mss. as his authority), says that this error occurred very early and was widely copied into many languages in a
widespread geographical area from Egypt to Syria to Rome.Even P
65
, the earliest Greek ms. listed here, disagrees often with
the other Greek mss. cited here in The Epistles. The fact that all these bear witness to this absurd reading is testament to an
authority higher than a Greek uncial (no existing Greek uncial is followed closely by any group of Greek mss. in any book of
The NT). I submit that the authority behind all these witnesses was The Peshitta. There apparently was an early Aramaic mss.
which had the above error as illustrated in DSS Aramaic and was translated into Greek in the first century and thence into the
several languages- Coptic,Latin,Italic,Ethiopic. So it was not properly a translation error, but an error of transcription in
Aramaic into an early Aramaic manuscript of the first century. The error would not have survived in Peshitta mss., as the
Aramaean scribes would have easily detected and rejected it; a Greek translator was not in the business of textual criticism ; he
would merely translate what he saw and pass it on. So there is widespread though still a minority- witness to this early error
in an Aramaic ms.

The fact remains that Greek mss. have these two readings, both of which may be explained as being derived from Aramaic. The
Peshitta has no variant reading here among its mss. .(v. Juckel:Ms. Schoyen 2530/Sinai Syr. 3 & The NT Peshitta- Hugoye

Apparently they worked by night and preached by day. The Greek includes the preaching in this verse to clarify that. Actually,
the two verses should be combined , as they are one continuous sentence and thought.

adverbs describing a verb of being, which egenhyhmen egenhyhmen egenhyhmen egenhyhmen is ; It is incorrect to say : we were blamelessly, or we were
righteously . In The Aramaic text, the first two adverbs describe their preaching, which is fine grammar: they preached
purely and rightly.The following phrase is an adjective, not adverb, in Aramaic: without fault we were ; that too is perfect
Aramaic grammar. These things are explained by Aramaic primacy; Greek primacy is being increasingly clobbered by the facts
and statistics.

* Greek has Satan hindered us; ynkwe is hindered me;Nkwe is hindered us;
Here are the two words in DSS script: ynkw( & }kw( ; In Estrangela script: ynkw( & Nkw( . A Yodh is the smallest
letter in Aramaic and easily missed.The Greek for me is me me me me or eme eme eme eme ; Us is hmav hmav hmav hmav. In uncial (capital Greek letters used in
ancient mss.) they are :
me is ME ME ME ME or EME EME EME EME ; Us is HMAS HMAS HMAS HMAS. These are not easily confused, hence the Aramaic may account much more easily
for the Greek reading than vice versa.

* Another difference between the Greek and Aramaic texts here and in more than ten other places in The Gospels and The
Epistles, is the use in Greek of a double negation (I would not have you to be ignorant) where the Peshitta has a simple
positive I want you to know. The LXX does employ this construction in The Apocrypha a couple times and once in Hosea
4:15 where the Hebrew text does not have anything like it. I have some thoughts on this, but they are mere conjecture at this
point.

N * The Greek mss. have anesin anesin anesin anesin Rest ; The explanation for this is very simple:
Here is the Aramaic word for Rest: axyn ;
Here is He shall save: axn ;
The Yodh y is in Rest- axyn and not in He shall save axn . The Greek for He shall save is swsei swsei swsei swsei, nothing like
anesin anesin anesin anesin. . . . Another possibility is zwopoihsei zwopoihsei zwopoihsei zwopoihsei (He will give life)- even less like anesin anesin anesin anesin .

Of course, one might object that an Aramaean might have translated Greek anesin anesin anesin anesin - -- -Rest- axn , simply omitting the
Yodh- y , which would be easy enough . There are several problems with that hypothesis, however, one of which is that The
Peshitta NT should have demonstrable errors in it somewhere , if it were a translation; no one has produced any, to my
knowledge. The Peshitta mss. have no variants in this verse to support a Greek original behind it.(Based on Gwilliam-
Pinkertons collation of Peshitta mss. of Pauls epistles).
The Greek NT, on the other hand, is replete with variant readings galore in all of its mss. and many errors of all sorts, which I
and others have pointed out and will continue to do so. The fact that there is a Massora for The Peshitta , proving that its
scribes counted words and even letters in the mss. and kept records of the statistics sets The Peshitta far above The Greek NT in
accuracy and precision. Where, oh where is such a tradition associated with the copying of Greek mss. ? Another argument,
and probably the strongest possible scientific support for the absolute accuracy of The Peshitta is the fact that this text contains
numerous codes going through it, beginning to end, end to beginning, backwards and forwards, some starting in the middle of
the canon, some elsewhere, by skipping a particular and consistent number of letters from a starting point to its end- one with
17,921 letters skipped each time , to spell out a 61 letter code that loops through Matthew alone 18.6 times, beginning to end !
Others have longer skips, all the way up to 99,021 letters each time and 191 letters long ! Most go through the entire NT
several times. If one letter were removed from The Peshitta version I searched with Codefinder software, none of those codes
would exist at all. If one letter were added, the same holds true; all the codes disappear. The Greek NT has no such code in it,
try what edition you will. Many have tried for years, to no avail.
Some codes in The Peshitta are in Aramaic reading forward and Hebrew when reading the same code backward !
And then there is the promise of Yeshua Meshikha Maran:

Not one Yodh ( y ) or Tittle ( ) shall pass from the Law ; Heaven and earth will pass away; My words shall not pass
away.

N * Greek has eiv peripoihsin doxhv eiv peripoihsin doxhv eiv peripoihsin doxhv eiv peripoihsin doxhv for possession of the glory ; The Aramaic construction Nrml atxwbst Nwwhtd
has two possible meanings; in the idiomatic sense, (Nwwhtd may be a 3
rd
person fem. singular future, matched with Glory-
fem. sing. ) it means that our Lord may have glory; In a more straightforward sense,( taking Nwwhtd as 2
nd
person plural
masculine future That you would be), it means that you would be glory. The Greek seems to favor the former sense,
though it is misleading, implying the glory of Jesus may go to the believer. The Greek seems to be an awkward translation of
the Aramaic here. I doubt an Aramaean would get the Peshitta reading from the Greek reading.

M * The Majority (Byzantine) Greek text mss. has They received; The Critical Greek has You received(plural) ; The
Textus Receptus Greek has , He received.
The Aramaic for They received(Peshitta reading) is wlbqd ; You received is Nwtlbqd ; He received is lbqd
Interestingly, The Eastern Peshitta differs here from the Western mss. and has lbqd He received. The Western
Peshitta reading seems to stand between the other two and best explains the Greek and The Eastern reading:
Nwtlbq You received (Critical Greek reading)
wlbq They received (This Peshitta editions reading , Majority Greek & Latin Vulgate)
lbq He received [Eastern Peshitta and Textus Receptus Greek- (KJV)]

Add two letters to the Peshitta reading in this edition and you have the Critical Greek reading; Take off the last letter of the
original reading and you have the Eastern reading and the reading of The Textus Receptus in The King James Version.

(Amen) Nyma (all of you) Nwklk (with) Me

The Eastern Peshitta has all of you my brothers. Amen. No Greek text has that reading.
See how similar the Aramaic words Amen and Brothers are:
}ym)Amen
}yx)- Brothers

Perhaps an early scribe read Amen twice , the first time as }yx)- Brothers and the second as }ym)Amen.The word
}yx) Brothers also may be spelt in a shorter and common form - yx) Akhay, which would explain why the final
Nun } is missing in The Eastern Peshitta - yx) Akhay. (In Estrangela , the common script of Peshitta mss. since the second
century AD, it is - yx0 ) Akhay.
Here is a photo of these last two words from the Khabouris Manuscript (an Eastern Peshitta ms. copied from a fourth century
ms.):
- Nym0 yx0 - Akhay Amayn
Of course, one may argue that the Eastern Peshitta is correct and that a scribe simply skipped yx) Akhay and went to the
following and similar }ym)Amen. There are several problems with that position; first, there is no Greek manuscript with
the reading Brothers. That is a bit of a problem for both Greek primacists and for Aramaic primacists -(those who support
an Eastern Peshitta original) . There are however, many Peshitta readings without Greek witnesses, so this is not a major
problem by itself. In conjunction with the fact that the Western Peshitta tradition lacks the word Brothers here, the lack of
Greek witnesses becomes significant. It is reasonable that Aramaic primacists would expect that if all Greek mss. support one
Aramaic reading where there is a variant reading in The Peshitta NT , that this would settle the matter . There are not many
places where the two Peshittas differ. The argument that The Peshitta was based on or revised to the Greek standard is simply
nonsense and has no foundation in the textual evidence. Neither The Western nor The Eastern Peshitta can be shown to
conform to any Greek standard, whether Byzantine, Alexandrian or Western. More often than not, it differs with all Greek
readings, where Greek variants occur.

Another argument for the originality of the text presented in this edition (Gwilliams-Pinkerton 1920 critical edition of The
Peshitta) is that this is practically identical with the edition in which the author has discovered seven long codes that extend
throughout The NT several times and one that covers 96% of The NT , some in Hebrew and some in Aramaic. The codes are
spelled out by skipping many thousands of letters at a time (17,000 up to 99,000) to form sentences of 25 to 191 letters. What is
significant about these codes for Textual Criticism is that if one letter were to be added to the Peshitta edition tested, or one
letter were deleted, none of the codes would exist at all ! No other edition of the several I have tested of The Peshitta has any
such codes. I have also performed an exhaustive experimental search of The Peshitta (two editions) for 95 Hebrew and Aramaic
Divine names and titles as codes. The resulting data is several million words of information called Equidistant Letter
Sequences which demonstrate statistically that the Peshitta NT was deliberately coded with many of these Divine names and
titles. They cannot be due to random occurrences; none of the control texts tested shows positive results, and they were tested
alongside The Peshitta , word for word, skip number for skip number, in exactly the same way as it was.

I believe Gwilliams & Pinkerton did a magnificent work in compiling this edition of The Peshitta Pauline epistles. It is
practically impeccable ,as is The Gwilliams-Pusey edition of The Gospels before it.

little sense, especially when compared to The Peshitta reading: Those who hit their fathers and those who hit their mothers,
and murderers.

N * The Aramaic has males lying with males (as the word is a masculine participle, it refers to masculine subjects) ; the
Greek mss. use arsenokoithv arsenokoithv arsenokoithv arsenokoithv , which is a compound word not found in Greek literature, made of the words
arshn arshn arshn arshn(male) and koith koith koith koith (copulation) . The Greek word is unclear in meaning: Male copulation , or Copulation
with males ? Koith Koith Koith Koith , the base word of this compound word, never refers to a copulator but to a bed or to lying down
or copulation. In the context, the Greek is disjointed ; The Law was written for fornicators, for males who lie down with
males, for kidnappers , etc.., whereas the Greek has: fornicators, lying down with men, kidnappers, etc... The Law was

written for certain people, not for certain activities. So the Greek word focuses on one activity lying down with men,
alongside of people-fornicators, kidnappers, etc.. rather than the people who perpetrate it; this is an error in a
grammatical sense as well as a theological sense and contextual sense; The Laws purpose was for people, not certain sins
people commit. In this light, the Peshitta reading is clearly superior to the Greek. There are many apparent Greek word
inventions in The Greek NT which look like compound words in which two or three Aramaic words in the text are combined.
This is one example, in my view.

Greek has satana satana satana satana Satana, which is not a Greek word; it is an Aramaic word transliterated into Greek from the
Aramaic NT 35 times in 12 books from The Gospels,Acts,Pauls Epistles and Revelation. 14 times , Greek has Diab Diab Diab Diabolov, olov, olov, olov,- -- -ew ew ew ew
( (( (Diabol[os],-ew) The Devil, slanderer, slander, where the Aramaic anjo Satana occurs. So 35 of the 49
occurrences of anjo Satana- are paralleled by Greek satana satana satana satana Satana,while the other 14 occurrences are matched with
Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov The Devil, Slanderer. Aramaic does have a term for Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov The Devil, Slanderer; it is
aurq lka Akal Qartsa-The Devil, Slanderer;This occurs 27 times in The Peshitta NT.
The LXX translation has Diabol.. Diabol.. Diabol.. Diabol..- Diabol. root 19 19 19 19 times for the Hebrew Bibles 27 occurrences (70%) of Njs

C * The Majority Greek text has mh aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh no filthy gain. It is a senseless reading consisting of two words
combined to form a compound word: aiscrov aiscrov aiscrov aiscrov ( (( (filthy) )) ) + kerdhv + kerdhv + kerdhv + kerdhv ( (( (gain) )) ) there is no verb with this reading, like being
greedy or given to, not to mention that without love of money is at the end of the verse :afilargurov afilargurov afilargurov afilargurov. Below is a
comparison of the Peshitta reading , not swift of hand to strike with the Aramaic for lover of filthy gain in three different
Aramaic scripts:

Ashuri script:
axmml hdya ajhr his hand is swift to strike
atpnj Nrtwy amxr-lover of filthy gain
69% letter correlation

Dead Sea Scroll Script:
)xmml hdy) )+hr his hand is swift to strike
)tpn+ }rtwy )mxr-lover of filthy gain

Estrangela Script:
a0xmml hdya0a0+hr his hand is swift to strike
Fpn+ Nrtwy a0mxr -lover of filthy gain

The Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script best illustrates how the Aramaic phrase His hand is swift to strike may have been
misread as Lover of filthy gain.The grey shaded letters are those I think are similar to the originals letters. The Dead Sea
Scroll script usually fares better than the others in such comparisons, so I conclude that this is the script from which the Greek
versions were translated. The Greek has three words meaning to hit: tuptew ,rapissw, patassw tuptew ,rapissw, patassw tuptew ,rapissw, patassw tuptew ,rapissw, patassw . None of these looks
similar to aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh aiscrokerdh filthy gain. I conclude that the evidence here supports a Peshitta original for the Greek.

Lets place the two readings in DSS Aramaic side by side in enlarged script:

htbcnd )l+ -a young plant

* Greek here and in verse 7 has Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov The Devil; Aramaic has Satan in both verses. Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov is a Greek
word; Satana Satana Satana Satana Satan is not, it is Aramaic. The Greek NT does have this word (See 1:20), though one third of references
in which The Peshitta has Satana , the Greek word used is Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov. In The LXX (Greek OT) , 19 of 27 references to
Satan are translated as Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolos The Devil. On the other hand, an Aramaean would most likely translate
Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov Diabolov as aurq lka The Devil, Slanderer.

N * Most, if not all Greek mss. have eusebeiav eusebeiav eusebeiav eusebeiav of Godliness ; In Aramaic, Godliness would be atlxd or ahla
tlxd . The Peshitta has atwnakd (of righteousness) .There seems to be another explanation for this beside word
similarity in Aramaic, as atwnak occurs four times in 1 Timothy matched in Greek with the word eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia Godliness.
Since Godis implied in Godliness , and since the most common Aramaic match for this Greek word is ahla tlxd -
fear of God, we should look for an Aramaic indication of God in the text which leads the Greek translator to translate
with eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia eusebeia Godliness four times in this book and four times it also matches ahla tlxd -Fear of God. I believe
I have found that God is in the text in every case, but in code form in the plain text. For more on this, see my book, Divine
Contact , the chapter on Alep-Tau codes, available at http://aramaicnt.com

Compare with the word in this verse for in form amkoab ; Here they are, one atop the other, in three Aramaic scripts:
Ashuri:
algd amkoabd In false form
apab abombd In hypocrisy
Dead Sea Scroll:

)p)b )bsmbdIn hypocrisy
Estrangela:

0p0b 0bsmbdIn hypocrisy
Shaded letters correspond with each other in the word pairs.
Here is The Peshitta reading, )lgd )mks)bd dbaskama degla- In false form.
The DSS script shows the most promise in the words )p)b )bsmbd -Mesaba bapha-In hypocrisy, as the supposed
source for the Greek reading upokrusei upokrusei upokrusei upokrusei-Hypocrisy. There is 73% correspondence (8 of 11 letters) with the Peshitta
reading.

M * Critical Greek has agwniz agwniz agwniz agwnizomeya omeya omeya omeya - -- -we struggle ; Compare the Aramaic Nnydoxtm We are reproached, with
Nnymoxtm Compete zealously ; the two words are identical but for one letter ! Here are the two words enlarged and one
atop the other:

Ashuri script:
Nnydoxtm We are reproached
Nnymoxtm We compete zealously

DSS Script :
}nydsxtmWe are reproached
}nymsxtm We compete zealously

Estrangela :
NnydsxtmWe are reproached
Nnymsxtm We compete zealously .
It hardly matters which Aramaic script is used, though the DSS and Estrangela pairs are a bit more alike than the Ashuri script
pair. The differences in each pair are those between a Dalet and a Mem (Blue highlighted letters) . In DSS , there are two
strokes and a bit of an up stroke difference between the two letters-d & m . In Estrangela , there are three strokes and a dot
difference -d & m; In Ashuri, there are two strokes and two humps on the Mem m that distinguish it from Dalet d . Each
Aramaic script presents at least 88% letter to letter correspondence between each word pair.

The two Greek words involved in the variants are: agwn agwn agwn agwnizomeya izomeya izomeya izomeya & onei onei onei oneid dd dizomeya. izomeya. izomeya. izomeya. There are four letters distinctly different
here in each, and they are the most vital the root words of each Greek word; these would not be confused one for another.

Greek Uncial (All CAPS) :
AG AG AG AGw ww wN NN NIZOMEYA IZOMEYA IZOMEYA IZOMEYA
ONEID ONEID ONEID ONEIDIZOMEYA IZOMEYA IZOMEYA IZOMEYA The probability seems small that Greek was translated to Aramaic here. On the contrary, The Peshitta
seems to account for the two Greek readings.This is 58% letter correspondence.

aatmyj Timothy here is strangely similar to the Greek vocative form used in this verse. This occurs with the name
Theophilus as well, in Luke 1:3 and Acts 1:1. In Greek Timothy in 1 Tim. 1:18 is vocative, though the Peshitta does not
have this form there. Timothy & Theophilus are Greek names; both were probably from Syria, where like Luke, they
spoke Aramaic and Greek , at least in Antioch and its environs. In these three places, it seems that the rare Greek form is orally
transliterated in The Peshittas Aramaic text.It appears that the Aramaic form is not copied from the Greek text, as the Greek
vocative form used in 1:18 does not occur in the Peshitta text of that verse.The Greek name Petros also occurs three times
for Simeon Kaypha (Simon Peter) in 1 & 2 Peter and Acts as an acknowledgment of that apostles fame for being the first
Jewish apostle to preach to Gentiles and make converts. The Greek Petros occurs 162 times in the Greek NT. The Gentiles
would call Kaypha- Petros(Greek) or Petrus(Latin).
Another evidence that this verse is original in Aramaic is the idiom Bnayth qala sriqta (Daughters of the voice of vanity)
Bnayth qala means echo , sound or saying. The Greek is understandable as a translation of Aramaic , but the
Aramaic is an idiom that looks original and an unlikely translation of the Greek- profane & vain babblings-bebhlouv
kenofwniav as a source for this Aramaic idiom . Far more likely is a Greek translation of this Aramaic idiom.
Here follows another bit of Peshitta primacy evidence in this verse:Pnj is profane; tnb is daughters, found in this
verse;Here are the two words: Pnj : tnb.Here they are in DSS script: vn+ vn+ vn+ vn+:tnb tnb tnb tnb; in Estrangela we have Pn+-:tnb;. How
about a hybrid Ashuri & DSS script ?: Pn+:tnb.Another word for profane is tlx (a very loose association
grammatically) ; In DSS -tlx: The pair for comparison:tlx tnb;
In Estrangela :tlx:tnb.
The DSS pair tlx:tnb are the most similar - 66% correspondence. Not bad for two three letter words.Now try to envision
rotating the first letter of tnb -Bnath (the letter b) 90 degrees counterclockwise ( ) and compare it to the first letter of
the word tlx x. & . Then we would have the word tn ; Compare that to tlx Profane. That would
seem even more like Khelath (Voice).

N * Greek has swfronismov swfronismov swfronismov swfronismov sound mind ; The Aramaic word Instruction- (Martinotha) - atwnytrm &
atwnyerm Reasoning are very similar; only one letter difference exists between them. These words come from different
roots and are unrelated to each other. It appears a Greek translator looked at atwnytrmdw and saw atwnyermdw , which has a
88% correspondence for the 8 letters (underlined) of each of the two words. Sound mind is atwpkndw , though that is not as
good a match (50% ?); atwnqtmdw is Stability (63% match) , so there are several possible Aramaic words which could
account for the Greek reading. Greek for Instruction in the genitive case is paideiav ; paideiav ; paideiav ; paideiav ; Exhortation is paraklhsewv paraklhsewv paraklhsewv paraklhsewv;
these are not similar at all to swfronismov. swfronismov. swfronismov. swfronismov.Here are the two Aramaic words Instruction and Reasoning for comparison

* Greek has pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn before eternal times , which , frankly , is a ridiculous phrase. Time and Eternity are
opposites; there is no such thing as an eternal time, nor can eternity or the eternal be measured with a timepiece, as eternity is

timeless. While we look not at these seen things, but at those not seen; for these seen things are time related, but those
not seen are eternal. -2 Cor. 4:18 .Titus 1:2 also has this Greek phrase -pro cronwn pro cronwn pro cronwn pro cronwn aiwniwn. aiwniwn. aiwniwn. aiwniwn. In both places, the Peshitta
has amled anbz Mdq Before the time of the world. amled is of the world ; Eternal in Aramaic is amleld one
letter added , so possibly a Greek translator misread amled (of the world) as amleld -Eternal in these two places.

Greek has oryotomounta oryotomounta oryotomounta oryotomounta - -- - to cut straight ; The idea seems to be ploughing a straight furrow.Here is the Aramaic word
for preaches- zrkm ; Here is the word for ploughing- brkm ; Here they are in order in DSS script: zrkm brkm;
In Estrangela : zrkm brkm ; ;Ashuri Aramaic script: zrkm brkm. Any of these three scripts shows a 75% correspondence
between these two words. I therefore hypothesize that the Greek reading came from a misreading of the Aramaic word zrkm as
brkm .
The Greek has no word similar to oryotomounta oryotomounta oryotomounta oryotomounta - -- - to cut straight that means to preach straight . The Greek words for
to preach would commonly be, khrusswn khrusswn khrusswn khrusswn, euaggelizomenov euaggelizomenov euaggelizomenov euaggelizomenov,or perhaps anagellizwn anagellizwn anagellizwn anagellizwn. It appears the Greek
cannot account for the Peshitta reading; The Peshitta can account for the Greek.

Greek has yeopneustov yeopneustov yeopneustov yeopneustov God breathed. This word, like many other Greek words in The Greek of Pauls epistles, occurs
nowhere in Greek literature or in The LXX , just one time in The NT Greek. They seem to combine two adjacent Aramaic words
into compound Greek words. The Aramaic has , btkta axwrbd which is written by The Spirit. The Greek translator
may have seen Gods name in code in the Aramaic text btkta (btk ta) -Alap-Tau wrote. Revelation 1:8 and other
verses reveal that God is called Alap-Tau (the first and last letters of the Aramaic alphabet).If this verse were the only example
where God is not named in Aramaic but is in the Greek, I would abandon this notion, but this occurs 22 times in The NT where
the specific Aramaic word connected to God in the Greek verse has -Alap-Tau- ta as the first two letters of that word, or
it has Tau-Alep at at the end of the word as the last two letters of the word. (See my book, Divine Contact, for the list of
those verses and analysis of this phenomenon; the book may be purchased at my web site http://aramaicnt.com as either a

Greek has Cloak felonhn felonhn felonhn felonhn, instead of Book case .
Cloak in Aramaic could be ajwjrm or atxn or anwryb
In DSS script:Cloak-)tw+rm,)txn)nwryb
Book case in DSS script is )btk tyb .The word for Book-kthava looks very similar to Cloak-
nyakhta in DSS (Dead Sea Scroll script) ; both are underlined & highlighted in blue. The Greek translator apparently
glossed over Bayt tyb (Place) and translated )btk as )txn. Three of the four letters of each word are very similar
or identical (75% correspondence).The two in Estrangela are: 0btk , 0txn . The DSS pair are the most similar; it appears
that the Peshitta reading accounts for the Greek reading here, as in so many other places.Consider also that the Greek
failonhn failonhn failonhn failonhn is found nowhere in Greek literature and is , according to Thayers Greek English Lexicon is a misspelled
transposition of fainolhn fainolhn fainolhn fainolhn - -- - referring to a travelling coat, for protection against stormy weather. According to this
interpretation, Paul was asking for a raincoat from prison ! Add to this that most Greek mss. have felonhn felonhn felonhn felonhn equally strange
and unprecedented in Greek literature and not really a word at all. And neither failonhn failonhn failonhn failonhn nor felonhn felonhn felonhn felonhn resembles Biblon , Biblon , Biblon , Biblon ,

closings confer grace upon others, not himself.

N * Greek has aqeudhv aqeudhv aqeudhv aqeudhv not lying. Quite often the Greek has a double negative construction where The Peshitta has simply
a positive statement: not lying = True ; Not ignorant = Knowing.
* Greek has pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn pro cronwn aiwniwn before eternal times , which , frankly , is a ridiculous phrase. Time and Eternity are
opposites; there is no such thing as an eternal time, nor can eternity or the eternal be measured with a timepiece, as eternity is
timeless. While we look not at these seen things, but at those not seen; for these seen things are time related, but those
not seen are eternal. -2 Cor. 4:18 .1 Timothy 1:9 also has this Greek phrase -pro cronwn pro cronwn pro cronwn pro cronwn aiwniwn. aiwniwn. aiwniwn. aiwniwn. In both places, the
Peshitta has amled anbz Mdq Before (antecedent to) the time of the world. amled is of the world ; Eternal in
Aramaic is amleld one letter added , so possibly a Greek translator misread amled (of the world) as amleld -
Eternal in these two places.

* Lifegiver is the literal sense of anyxm; it can also have the sense of Savior, referring to Him Who gives eternal life, not
merely the natural life of the body. Either translation would be acceptable, though I believe Pauls emphasis was on salvation,
not natural life, so I have in the interlinear translation Lifegiver as the literal meaning in most of the 16 places where it
occurs in The NT, but in my prose translation I would use Savior in most places to signify the specific kind of life
(Eternal) to which the word refers. Nnyxm (Our Lifegiver) occurs six times just in Titus.Usually Jesus is mentioned as
our Lifegiver just after God our Lifegiver is mentioned. See the next verse.

is a concern has - (lyjbw) , gives Nyejw . Lets see these two in DSS script and enlarged:

The DSS Aramaic script in shaded grey seems to be the Aramaic script behind the base Greek translation.

not intend for women believers to be men lovers -Philanderers, but to love their husbands. This Greek wording is
unworthy to be the inspired original word of God.

Greek has akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston that cannot be condemned, nowhere else in The LXX OT or The Greek NT, but once in the
Apocrypha akatagnwstoi akatagnwstoi akatagnwstoi akatagnwstoi in 2 Maccabees 4:47.The Peshitta reading ,not corrupt - albxm al , certainly did not
come from the Greek reading.The Greek for incorruptible is afyarton , afyarton , afyarton , afyarton , not much like akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston at all.
An Aramaic word meaning accused is alybqm or albqtm . In DSS : )lybq or )lbqtm ;
Corrupt is albxm ;In DSS script: )lbxm ; Now lets compare the two most similar forms of these two Aramaic words:
)lbxm Corrupt
)lbqtm Accused

I see only a one letter difference between these two words in DSS script; That is 83% correlation between these two readings in
Aramaic !That seems pretty strong evidence that The Peshittas Aramaic is the base from which the Greek akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston akatagnwston was
translated.

M * A few Greek mss. have , & to Apphia our sister... Most Greek mss. have ,& to Apphia the beloved... Our Beloved
in Aramaic is Ntbybx ; Our sister is Ntx ; In DSS script they are : }tbybx - }tx ;In Estrangela : Ntbybx- - Ntx . Our
beloved has all the letters of Our sister, which are highlighted in blue (in the color edition) and also underlined (1
st
, 5
th
and
6
th
from the right), which, in that order, spell Our sister in the Aramaic language. A careless and bleary eyed scribe might
skip a few letters in translating, from time to time, (The Critical Greek mss. Vaticanus and Siniaticus are famous for omissions)
especially when the omission of three letters still leaves a coherent and contextually fitting word. Hence, the Aramaic primacy
hypothesis (I believe I have accumulated enough supporting evidence in The NT to establish it as a theory) explains many
Greek readings; the Greek for Beloved is AGAPHTH ; AGAPHTH ; AGAPHTH ; AGAPHTH ; Sister is ADELFH ADELFH ADELFH ADELFH. Only the first and last letters are the
same, which letters have no meaning by themselves, neither is either word mistakeable for the other. It is very difficult to see
how, if the Greek were the original, an Aramaean translator would misread ADELFH ( ADELFH ( ADELFH ( ADELFH (Sister) ) ) ) as Ntbybx (Beloved), if
that were the original reading.

Certainly The Peshitta agrees here with the Majority Byzantine reading much more closely than with the Critical Greek text, as
it generally does, however it also differs here and in many places radically from all Greek readings. Besides, if Greek were the
original, and Aramaic the translation thereof, we would expect the variant readings to occur in the translation language
(Aramaic), not in the original. There are practically no variant readings to speak of in The Peshitta mss., but The Greek mss.
abound with them ! Too large a number of these are traceable to the Peshitta text for this to be coincidental. I hope that anyone
reading the voluminous evidence shown in Gospels and Epistles of this interlinear,will see that The Greek NT is a translation
of The Peshitta NT text.

M * The Critical Greek has I had great grace where the Majority Greek and The Peshitta has We have great joy. Joy
in Greek is caran caran caran caran, whereas Grace is carin carin carin carin, so the Critical Greek reading is probably a misreading of caran caran caran caran as
carin carin carin carin, only one letter a a a a ( (( (Alpha) )) ) being mistaken for i i i i ( (( (Iota) )) ) . . . . The change of subject from We had to I had may be
explained on the basis of misreading one letter in Aramaic : Nl - to us & yl - to me . These words are part of an idiom in
Aramaic describing possession or ownership. The final Nun (N) in Nl is sometimes mistaken for Yodh y if the bottom stroke is
faint or missing. Here are the words at issue in DSS script : }l : yl ; In Estrangela:Nl : yl . Either the square Ashuri
Aramaic , DSS or Estrangela may account for the variant Greek reading. In Greek, the word We have is ecomen ecomen ecomen ecomen ; I had
is escon . escon . escon . escon .

N * Greek mss. have splagcna splagcna splagcna splagcna- bowels . In Aramaic, that would be amxr- Rakhma (mercy,affection,friend,love).
Here are the actual Aramaic reading adlyld -Son and amxrld- Rakhma in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script: )dlyld
: )mxr rr rld ; If you will notice the second words fourth letter from the right , x (Khet) , you may notice that it looks like two
letters just barely touching at the top . If I take the letters of the other word dl dl dl dl and compress them together, you might mistake
them for a x (Khet) or a m Mem. I propose that a Greek scribe did both ! First he saw y as r rr r (as if it were rotated
counterclockwise a bit, then dl dl dl dl compressed as x (I think the copy he had must have been illegible at this place and he was
deciphering, leter by letter here) , then he looked back at the same letters and saw dl dl dl dl as m mm m ; hence )dlyld became )mxr rr rld.
Even discounting my letter theory, these two words have a 66% letter correspondence.
The Greek word for son is uiov uiov uiov uiov or teknon teknon teknon teknon; Compare those with splagcna splagcna splagcna splagcna- bowels. How would an Aramaean
translating from Greek mistake splagcna splagcna splagcna splagcna for teknon teknon teknon teknon or uiov uiov uiov uiov ? This would be the scenario if The Peshitta were translated
from Greek. That theory is not supported by the facts here.Peshitta primacy wins in Philemon, hands down.
)dl dl dl dlyld -Son
)mxr rr rld- Mercy,Affection,Friend,Love

Depending on how one sees the letter correspondence in the above two words, there is 66-99 % correlation between the two
words.

(in The Messiah *) axysmb (my love) ymxr (satisfy) xyna

C * Most Greek mss. have In The Lord ; Critical Greek texts. have In Christ, agreeing with The Peshitta.. . The likely
Aramaic for In The Lord would be ayrmb or Nrmb. In The Messiah is axysmb. ayrmb is much more similar, with
66% letter correspondence.
DSS script: )xy$mb- In The Messiah
)yrmb .- In The LORD
Estrangela script: 0xy$mb.
0yrmb .

The Greek for Christ is Cristw Cristw Cristw Cristw
Lord is Kuriw . Kuriw . Kuriw . Kuriw .

That gives a 16% correlation for the two Greek words. The Aramaic copy translated into Greek must have been unclear at this
place in the letter, so that two letters in axysmb were unreadable; x was not read; s was read as r . . . .

ams (Shema) The Name is Ha Shem Msh - in Hebrew , which is the common Title for God in Hebrew liturgy. This
verse in Aramaic makes much better sense than the Greek text which says , ..He has inherited a more excellent name than
they as if The Christ is greater than angels because of an inheritance rather than His very nature and Person as God ! The
context of verses 1-12 bears this out; The Name MarYah Yeshua Meshika is Divine and higher than every name because He
is absolute Deity of absolute Deity- The LORD GOD of The Heavens and of the earth by His very eternal nature.

But we see that He is Jesus - He Who was a little lower than the angels for the suffering of His death ; glory and honor are
placed on His head, for God Himself, by His grace , tasted death in the place of everyone.

M ? N ? * The Eastern Peshitta differs considerably here; it reads : But we see that He is Jesus - He Who was a little lower than
the angels for the suffering of His death , and glory and honor are placed on His head, for He , apart from God, tasted death
in the place of everyone. The Greek mss. agree with the Western Peshitta (& my interlinear). The Western Peshitta could be
translated as the Greek texts have it: By the grace of God He tasted death for everyone., though the Aramaic ahla
htwbyjb is not the normal construction used for that sense :The norm in Pauls writing and in Hebrews would be
ahlad htwbyjb The red underlined letter is a Dalet proclitic. That is the norm for genitive constructs with Alaha (God). The
only apparent exception I can find in the epistles is ahla tlxd the fear of God, which is not a true genitive construct, for
the true sense in that expression is fear toward God , which disqualifies it as a genitive, in which case the Dalet proclitic d
would not be used and would be incorrect.The Greek text of 2:9 is apparently a mistranslation of the Aramaic in that sense. I
dont believe Paul would have written ahla -God if he had meant ahlad - of God. That would only create confusion for
the reader.I also cannot accept the Eastern Peshitta version of this verse for several reasons, the first of which I cannot go into
here, but recommend my first book, Divine Contact-Discovery of The Original NT for an explanation of how I found the
original text of The whole NT.
The second reason is doctrinal ambiguity. The Eastern reading implies that Jesus either was separated from God: For He , apart
from God, tasted death for everyone or that He tasted death for everyone but God. I cannot accept that Paul stated either
proposition. The first possibility is simply contrary to the Gospels, in which Jesus asserted His eternal unity with God His
Father, without Whom He could do nothing and Whose actions He imitated and Whose words He repeated (See John 5:19 and
10:30). If The Christ could do not the least thing without His Father, He certainly could not do the greatest thing, which was
His death for a lost world as atonement for sin.Consider also that He saw His Father dying :
And Jesus answered, and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you: The Son can do nothing of his own pleasure, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things the Father doeth, these in like manner doeth the Son. (Murdock)
Nothing but what He sees The Father do ? If that is what He said, and I believe it is, then our Lords death was truly not unique to
His Person in The Godhead; He saw The Father dying and followed His example ! They truly died together as One just as they
did everything in Life. This is the mystery of the Gospel: God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit died as One in
The Messiah for the sin of the world. That was the end of the old creation, as it could not endure without its Living Creator
God. God also arose from the dead, not on the third day in the physical resurrection of Yeshua, but on the cross before His
physical death. The atoning death and the resurrection occurred on the cross before He said, It is finished! and Father,
into Thy hands and He bowed His head and expired. If The One died for all, then all died with Him. And he died for all,
that they who live should not live to themselves, but to him who died for them and rose again. And therefore, we know no
person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we know him no more. (2 Cor.
5:14-16) .
We must see the world in a new light- the light of the atoning death of God The Creator and His regenerating resurrection.
Whoever therefore is in the Messiah, is a new creature: old things have passed away; And Who is The Messiah ? He is The
Yahweh of Israel, The Creator of The Heavens and the earth- Omnipotent,Omniscient,Omnipresent,Eternal. Who is not in the
Omnipresent One, Who is all and in all and fills all in all ?We must see all people as in The Messiah and as His new

creatures, created by Him for good works.All their sins have passed away. We must believe the Gospel if we are to ask others to
believe it. Old things have passed away. We must think anew and act anew, said Abraham Lincoln; never were such
words more appropriate than applied to the Good News of Yeshua Meshikhas Death,Burial and Resurrection. Let us discard
old thinking- that is, thinking based on the unbelief that we live in the old fallen world, riddled with sin ,misery and death.
And all things are made new, by God; who hath reconciled us to himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry
of reconciliation. No qualification is made to these statements. It does not say, the believers old things have been passed
away. It does not say, All things are new in the believer; it is a universal and unqualified truth unqualified except by
whoever (or whatever) is in The Messiah, which is all- inclusive. For it was God by the Messiah who hath reconciled the
world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and who hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.What
Jesus did on the cross, God did. There was no suffering of The Messiah that His Father did not endure as well. The Godhead as
a whole suffered death in becoming sin;Lamsas translation of 2 Cor. 5:21 says: He who knew no sin has made Himself to be
sin for us That is the death God died. In The death of The Creator, all creation died. In His resurrection, all things were
raised from the dust of oblivion into New Heavens and a New Earth- justified by The Divine blood, bathed and regenerated by
The Divine Spirit of Holiness, sanctified by The Word of God The Son: If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people
unto Myself. John 12:32.
Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his
glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel.- Matthew 19:28

Rev. 21:5,6
22 But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the Jerusalem that is in heaven; and to the assemblies of
myriads of angels;
23 and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven and to God the judge of all; and to the spirits of the just,
who are perfected;
24 and to Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant; and to the sprinkling of his blood, which speaketh better than that of Abel.
25 Beware, therefore, lest ye refuse to hear him who speaketh with you. For if they escaped not, who refused to hear him who
spake with them on the earth, how much more shall we not, if we refuse to hear him who speaketh with us from heaven?

For death was not authorized over the angels, but over the seed of Abraham it was authorized.

N * In this verse The two Peshittas (Eastern & Western) differ considerably: The Eastern Peshitta has : He took not from
angels but He took from the seed of Abraham. The Greek mss. agree with the Eastern Peshitta, though either seems awkward
at best.
The Western reading here is coherent and fits the context of the verses before and after.The Greek and Eastern readings seem
out of joint with the context as well as being an incomplete statement. Considering that in verse 9 also there is a major and
famous variant between the two Peshittas about the death of Christ, I suspect a doctrinal controversy (Nestorian vs.
Monophysite) was behind this and that verses variants.
The Nestorians believed (and still do) that The Messiah had two natures -Kyanas and two Qnomas (consciousnesses
?)- a Divine and human one of each . The death of The Messiah was physical only and involved only His human qnoma. The
Divine nature and qnoma are impassible incapable of suffering. The Monophysites (One nature) branch of the Aramaean
church had held that the nature and Person of The Messiah was simply Divine and nothing more. They had no problem with the
concept of God suffering and dying, since Jesus was and is God and the scriptures plainly state that He died.
Personally , I disagree with both positions in this matter, though I believe the Western readings are correct in Hebrews and
Acts 20:28 (Another Death of The Messiah reading) and that the Nestorian doctrine was not developed until the fifth century
and resulted in these few late alterations in the Peshitta text to support itself. Below I list the Eastern reading of this verse:

[ (He took *) bon (the angels) akalm (from) Nm (for) ryg (it was) awh (not) al 16
(He took *) bon (of Abraham) Mhrbad (the seed) herz (from) Nm (but) ala ]

The words for Took & Authorized are : bon & jlsm : In Estrangela: bsn +l$m; In DSS :bsn & +l$m . I see no
similarities or any reason for the omission or addition of words was & death aside from doctrinal zeal on the part of some
early Aramaean scribe who knew of the longer reading and preferred the latter or invented it himself.

M * The Critical Greek mss. and Latin Vulgate lack The Messiah . In 2:7 , the Critical Greek text agrees with The Peshitta
reading whereas the Byzantine Greek mss. omit a significant portion of the verse. If the Peshitta were a translation of Greek, in
2:7 it would be a translation of the Critical Greek and here in 3:1 it would be a translation of the Byzantine Greek text. But this
is a phenomenon often found in the NT which does not favor Greek primacy and rather supports Peshitta primacy. Quite often,
The Peshitta agrees with no known Greek reading (See 2:6 and 2:16).

proclitic to mean in, which is very rare.This reading also occurs in verse 15. The Hebrew of Psalm 95:8 has In Meribah
;Meribah,which means provocation, was the place where Moses smote the rock and brought water out for Israel. He
named the place Massah (Temptation) & Meribah (Provocation).The place name was not transliterated in The Peshitta
OT or in The LXX; it was translated, as the meaning was more important than the name. The Hebrew of Ps. 95:8 has ,In
Meribah in the day of Masseh.

N * No Greek mss. have to anger Him . How would this reading have come from Greek ? The Aramaic htwzgrml ,however,
could loosely be interpreted in the provocation , but it ignores the pronoun enclitic h (Him,His) and forces the proclitic l
to mean in, which is rather rare. The next verse supports the Peshitta reading here: Who are those who heard and angered
Him ? So the Greek may have come from the Aramaic, but the reverse scenario is not as likely.

words in DSS script:
)tb$ - (Sabbath)
)(b$- (Seven)
In Estrangela script: 0tb$ 0(b$ . Either Aramaic script shows 75% correspondence.

The Peshitta reading Sabbath explains the Greek Seventh much more credibly than the Greek Seventh can explain the
Sabbath reading. Here are the respective Greek words: sabbata sabbata sabbata sabbata ebdomhv ebdomhv ebdomhv ebdomhv and in Greek uncial script:
SABBATA SABBATA SABBATA SABBATA EBDOMHS EBDOMHS EBDOMHS EBDOMHS - -- - (0% correspondence) !

and is an obvious reworking of the Aramaic wtbsml Lamshebatu- (to keep Sabbath) in Greek letters with grammatical
noun ending.The word sabbaton sabbaton sabbaton sabbaton occurs 68 times in the Greek NT, including in Acts,1 Corinthians and Colossians.

So The Messiah did not glorify His Soul to be High Preist, but He Who said to Him, You are My Son, today I have
begotten You.

* The Greek has Christ did not glorify Himself to be High Priest, but He Who said to Him. This means God glorified
Himself to be High Priest and is incorrect and poorly worded. The Peshitta has the word Napsa which can mean , Self,
Soul or Life. This is a case in which the Greek is not coherent and The Peshitta is.

* Many Greek mss. have poihswmen poihswmen poihswmen poihswmen- We should do, an aorist active subjunctive verb; Many also have poihsomen poihsomen poihsomen poihsomen
We shall do, an future active indicative verb. The Aramaic verb dben dben dben dben can have either meaning. All Aramaic imperfect tenses
may be translated variously as future-shall-verb, optative-may-verb,hortatory-let-verb, purpose-should-verb,
habitual present verb or as an imperative verb-Thou shalt-verb, Do-verb, etc.. Many Greek variant readings may be traced
to this Aramaic verb phenomenon as their source. Aramaic participles also have considerable flexibility in that they may be
translated as present tenses , future tense or past tense, depending on the context (very much like Hebrew).

(of Holiness) asdwqd (The Spirit) axwr (& received) wbonw

But those who have gone down once to baptism and have tasted a gift from Heaven and have received The Holy Spirit

N * atydwmeml baptism is similar to atwnrhnml enlightenment, which the Greek mss. all have. Here are the terms in
DSS script:
)tydwm(ml -Baptism

)twnrhnml.- Enlightenment

In Estrangela they are a0tydw(eml a0twnrhnml; - not quite as similar as in DSS script,with 66% correspondence ; DSS
script words have 78% correspondence .
I fail to see how this and the previous verses were taken from the Greek . The Greek word for enlightened is fwtisyentav fwtisyentav fwtisyentav fwtisyentav;
Baptized is baptisyentav baptisyentav baptisyentav baptisyentav; Here are the two in uncial script: FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS & BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. The Greek
endings are standard and long for passive participles (6 letters long here) , hence the words are very similar, but not as similar
as their Aramaic Estrangela counterparts. Assuming the Greek FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS (Enlightened) ) ) ) is original , , , ,
BAPTISYENTAS ( BAPTISYENTAS ( BAPTISYENTAS ( BAPTISYENTAS (Baptized) ) ) ) represents 82% correspondence, however, the first letters of a word are the most important
for recognition; the first two of F FF Fw ww wTISYENTAS TISYENTAS TISYENTAS TISYENTAS are nothing like the first letters of BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. The rest of each
word in Greek is basically an added ending for the particular masculine accusative plural of the aorist passive participle of a
verb with an izo ending, which Baptizo and Photizo are.The root words are the most critical in distinguishing one
word from another. These are the first part of the word, usually three to five letters long. I doubt therefore that a translator of
Greek would mistake the root F FF Fw ww wT TT T- -- - Phot- as BAPT BAPT BAPT BAPT- -- - Bapt-. . . . (Yes , the English Photo and Baptize come from these
Greek roots.) Notice also The Peshitta has the word descended wtxn before baptism . The Greek does not have this.
This same word discrepancy occurs in Hebrews 10:32 ! See note below at that place.

(of God) ahlad (good) atbj (the word) atlm (& have tasted) wmejw 5
(that is future) dyted (of the world) amled (& the power) alyxw

and have tasted the good word of God and the power of the future world

(to conversion) atwbytl (to be renewed) Nwtdxtn (the top) syrd (from) Nmd (they would sin *) Nwjxn (who again) bwtd 6
(& to become contemptible) Nwreunw (of God) ahlad (The Son) hrbl (to crucify) Nwpqzn (the top) syrd (& from) Nmw

are unable to sin again to be renewed to conversion and to crucify again The Son of God and to become contemptible.

N * Greek mss. have parapesontav parapesontav parapesontav parapesontav falling away . I suspect a Greek translator looked at the Aramaic Nwjxn -they
sin and saw Nwlpn (falling).
Here are those two Aramaic words in three different scripts:
Ashuri: Nwjxn
Nwlpn ;

Dead Sea Scroll: }w+xn
}wlpn
Estrangela: Nw+x xx xn
Nwlpn .
The Estrangela pair are the most similar, which may indicate Estrangela was the original script used in composing Hebrews, or at
least used in the copy translated into Greek. The letter correspondence in that pair is 80%. The others have 60% correspondence.

The Peshitta here says that a true believer in The Messiah cannot sin and be reconverted. 1 John 3:6-10 goes even further and
says a person born of God cannot sin at all ! See also Hebrews 10:26.

Without his father or his mother being written in the genealogies, neither beginning of his days
nor end of his life , but in the likeness of the Son of God , his priesthood remains for eternity.

The Greek mss. have: (YLT) Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of
life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

The Peshitta text has eight more words of information than the Greek text. These are underlined in my translation to illustrate
what is fairly typical in the NT comparisons of Greek and Aramaic versions. Translation normally involves a loss of
information (Lost in translation) , not adding of information. This phenomenon of less info. in the Greek texts supports
Peshitta primacy and mitigates strongly against a Greek original for NT books. See my book Divine Contact for several
experiments in which this phenomenon is analyzed statistically throughout the NT. The resulting thousands of data all support
Peshitta primacy (an Aramaic original NT) unanimously.

For he was yet in the loins of his father when he met Melchizedek.

The Greek has when Melchizedek met him; not a major difference, but explainable on the basis of the Aramaic, which
literally says, he met him Melchizedek.This could be construed to say when Melchizedek met him, but only by forcing
the grammar unnaturally.

N * All Greek mss. have And inasmuch as it is not apart from oath. The Greek seems to be a long winded paraphrase of the
Aramaic with the double negative not without instead of the straightforward positive He confirmed it.This occurs in the
Gospel of Mark, Romans,1 & 2 Cor. , 1 Thess. and elsewhere not a few times.

Peshitta: in the image of Melchizedek. The Hebrew text of Psalm 110:4 can mean in the order of Melchizedek or in
the manner of Melchizedek , the latter of which fits the word htwmdb badmotha.

N * (of the house) tybd (the family) atyb- Baytha dbayth occurs twice, and is an Aramaic idiom here- definitely original

covenant I gave to their fathers and I rejected them. The Greek obviously loses something in translation here, and
generally throughout the NT.

N * Greek mss. have ilewv ilewv ilewv ilewv esomai esomai esomai esomai-Merciful I will be . The Aramaic word owxa ,from owx , can mean I shall have
mercy ; the form of the word used here is aoxa , from yox to make atonement, to pardon,to purge. The Greek seems to
have come from owxa to pity,have mercy.

N * Greek mss. have prwthn prwthn prwthn prwthn- -- -First. At the first in Aramaic would probably be syrb ; Compare that with ayrb
Outer, and you can see the probable explanation for the Greek reading.

Inner.
Have a look at these in Dead Sea Scroll script: }yrtd :: wgld and you can see a probable explanation for the Greek
reading.Here they are in Estrangela: Nyrtd : wgld . The DSS script pair have at least 60% correspondence. If Nyrt Two
were the mistaken reading interpreted by a Greek translator, we would have this comparison:
}yrt - -- -Second
wgld - -- -Inner
The DSS seems to explain the Greek.
N * Greek has agnohma agnohma agnohma agnohma agnoayma, ignorance. The Aramaic has htwlko - saklotha ,foolishness,evil doing,
offense.It is a mistake to say The High Priest sacrificed for the ignorance of the people. The Greek appears to me to be a
mistranslation of the Aramaic.

C Majority Greek has things to come mellontwn mellontwn mellontwn mellontwn- -- - mellontone . .. .The Aramaic reod -that He did looks
similar to dyted , that is coming. In DSS , they are: r(sd : dyt(d . Personally, the square Aramaic pair look more
similar than DSS:reod dyted . I see 60% correspondence here in these three letter pairs: reod:dyted out of the five of the
longer word of the pair- dyted (3/5=60%).It is also noteworthy that the word dybe occurs in this verse and has essentially
the same meaning as reod and also looks even more like dyte .

Century Papyrus ; it (and Codex B (4
th
Cent.) has the following reading in the place of mellontwn mellontwn mellontwn mellontwn :
genomenwn genomenwn genomenwn genomenwn ( (( (things which happened). This word is quite in keeping with The Peshitta reading reod , which can have the
sense of happening. Here is the Syraic definition exerpt:


The part c) meaning is based on the Ethpeel (Passive) form of the verb not used in The Peshitta, but another passive form
meaning of this verb (to be) is used with the active form and is so confirmed by the Greek version in 1 Cor. 12:29
(dunameiv dunameiv dunameiv dunameiv-can be) .Quite often a passive form meaning is a reflection of the active form as well in Aramaic.

N The Hebrew of Psalms 40:6 has, yl tyrk Mynza -Ears You have opened for Me . The Peshitta OT has the same
reading. The Clementine LXX has , wtia de kathrtisw moi wtia de kathrtisw moi wtia de kathrtisw moi wtia de kathrtisw moi ears You have prepared for Me. Another LXX version
has :swma de kathrtisw moi swma de kathrtisw moi swma de kathrtisw moi swma de kathrtisw moi a body You have prepared for Me.The OT text followed here certainly was not The
standard Massoretic nor The Peshitta OT text. The LXX represents another Hebrew text which was known in the first century
AD. We see it here and there in the quotes from the OT in the Peshitta NT, which quotes are certainly not conformed to any one
standard OT text known.

(O God) ahla (Your will) Knybu (to do) dbead

Then I said, Behold I come, because in the beginning of The Writings it is written of Me, to do Your will, O God.

N * The Hebrew Scriptures are arranged into The Law, The Prophets (Major & Minor) and The Writings. The
Writings-Mybwtk Kethuvim start with The Psalms.There are twelve books (in the Hebrew reckoning) in The
Writings.This verse is a quotation from Psalms 40:7-9. The Aramaic word for this section of The Old Testament is abtk
Kthavay. The Greek phrase in this reading is kefalidi kefalidi kefalidi kefalidi Bibliou Bibliou Bibliou Bibliou (In the heading of the book) which really does not
make sense with regard to this quotation; neither does the translation In the volume of the book fare much better. What
book ? It is too vague to carry much authority, as there is no reference to the authority of scripture in the Greek.

The Peshitta OT version is essentially the same as this quotation in The Peshitta NT, with the exception of the verb form in
Behold, I come; there the OT Peshitta has , tyta ahd Behold, I have come instead of ana ata ana ahd
Behold, I come and the last verb , dbead -to do, where The OT version has dbeml to do.There is also an additional
verb at the very end of The OT version : tybu I delight. This NT Peshitta verse does not appear to be taken from The
Peshitta OT version;neither does it agree with the Massoretic Hebrew text or the LXX version. The Greek NT version does
appear identical to the LXX of Psalms 40:7. I present both here for the reader:
LXX :tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai

NT : tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai : tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai : tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai : tote eipon idou hkw en kefalidi bibliou gegraptai peri emou tou poihsai
o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou

The red underlined words at the end of The LXX verse are omitted in the NT quote, probably as extraneous to the point of the
quotation. Everything else is the same except for the word order of the last phrase
to yelhma sou o to yelhma sou o to yelhma sou o to yelhma sou o yeov yeov yeov yeov - -- -
o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou o yeov to yelhma sou , , , , both of which have the same meaning- Your will, O God.

N atydwmeml baptism is similar to atwnrhnml enlightenment, which the Greek mss. all have. Here are the terms
in DSS script: )tydwm(ml-Baptism
)twnrhnml -Enlightenment

In Estrangela they are a0tydw(eml a0twnrhnml; - not quite as similar as in DSS script,with 66% correspondence ; DSS
script words have 78% correspondence .
I fail to see how this and the previous verses were taken from the Greek . The Greek word for enlightened is fwtisyentav fwtisyentav fwtisyentav fwtisyentav;
Baptized is baptisyentav baptisyentav baptisyentav baptisyentav; Here are the two in uncial script: FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS FWTISYENTAS & BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. BAPTISYENTAS. The Greek
endings are standard and long for passive participles (6 letters long here) , hence the words are very similar, but not as similar
as their Aramaic counterparts. Assuming the Greek FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS ( FwTISYENTAS (Enlightened) ) ) ) is original , BAPTISYENTAS , BAPTISYENTAS , BAPTISYENTAS , BAPTISYENTAS
( (( (Baptized) ) ) ) represents 82% correspondence. The first letters of a word are the most important for recognition; the first two
of FwT FwT FwT FwTISYENTAS ISYENTAS ISYENTAS ISYENTAS are nothing like the first letters of BAPT BAPT BAPT BAPTISY ISY ISY ISYENTAS. ENTAS. ENTAS. ENTAS. The rest of each word in Greek is basically an
added ending for the particular masculine accusative plural of the aorist passive participle of a verb with an izo ending,
which Baptizo and Photizo are.The root words are the most critical in distinguishing one word from another. These are
the first part of the word, usually three to five letters long. I doubt therefore that a translator of Greek would mistake the root
FwT FwT FwT FwT- -- - Phot- as BAPT BAPT BAPT BAPT- -- - Bapt-. . . . (Yes , the English Photo and Baptize come from these Greek roots.)

* CM The Critical Greek and Latin Vulgate agree with The Peshitta here with the words those who were imprisoned where
The Majority Greek has me in my bonds, but in the last part of the verse, the Majority Greek agrees with The Peshitta
reading in Heaven , whereas the Critical Greek and Latin Vulgate do not. No Greek text has & it passes not away; they
have ,& it remains. As in so many places, the Greek looks like a paraphrase of the Aramaic reading here. The Aramaic can
explain the various Greek readings, but The Peshitta does not follow any Greek text standard. There are too many unique
significant Aramaic readings and variations from every known Greek text for The Peshitta to be a translation of any or even of
a collation of Greek texts. (Remember 2:7,9,16, 3:1, 6:4,10:32 , etc. ?)

N * Greek has, nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou who had become dead , where The Peshitta has atwbyob ljbd-who was failing in
old age. Have a look at atwtymb in death, in mortality. Here are the comparisons in three scripts:
atwbyob atwtymb )twbysb )twtymb 0twbysb 0twtymb . The first pair have a letter to letter correspondence
of 86%.o & m are very similar and could easily be confused one for another; the other letters except for b & t are identical ;
The DSS pair have close to that 86%, though s & m are not as similar as the same letters in Ashuri script : o & m . The
Estrangela pair are least alike , with 72% letter correspondence. Any of these scripts presents a much better basis for the Greek
reading than vice versa. Here is old age in Greek : ghrei ghrei ghrei ghrei ; compare that to nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou who had become dead. See
any resemblance ? Here are the Greek words, side by side: ghre ghre ghre ghrei ii i & nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou nenekrwmenou

Here are the two Aramaic words again in Ashuri Aramaic:
atwbyob -In old age
atwtym mm mb -In mortality
I see Greek primacy lagging far behind Peshitta primacy.

N * The Greek NT uses the word eruyrov eruyrov eruyrov eruyrov- (eruthros) - Red, here and in Acts 7:36, for The Red Sea. The Hebrew OT
uses the term, Yam - Suuph Sea of Reeds (Yamma dsuuph here in Aramaic). Red is a mistranslation. The Sea
of Reeds was much larger 3500 years ago than it is today. A major earthquake has shifted the Euro-Asian plates which meet
at a fault line that ran under that Sea in Moses time and drastically changed the coastline to what it is today. The Peshitta
reading in Acts and here cannot be from Greek. The Greek LXX also has eruyrov eruyrov eruyrov eruyrov - -- -(eruthros) throughout the OT and in Isaiah

63:2 -Why are you red in your garments ?It mistranslated the Hebrew text consistently.The actual crossing point for the
Hebrews was an inlet about 10 miles wide near lake Timnah at the northern extension of what is called The Red Sea, based on
The LXX translation. The Hebrews called it Yam Suuph. This and Acts 7:36 is major support for Peshitta primacy and
Divine inspiration and opposition to Greek primacy and inspiration.

Greek mss. have , They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted , in the killing of the sword they
died

They were sawn in half is wronta. Nyonta is They were tempted.Here are these two in DSS: wr rr rsnt) }ysnt) ;
In Estrangela : wrsnt0 Nysnt0. The DSS pair is most similar , with almost 100% correspondence; even the last two
letters ,
wr rr r- & }y- are very similar in this script. The Estrangela script pair are the least similar , with 66% correspondence. I
calculate about 90% correspondence for the Ashuri script . Apparently a Greek scribe read wrsnt wrsnt wrsnt wrsnt) )) )- twice , once correctly
as wrsnt wrsnt wrsnt wrsnt) )) )-They were sawn in half, and again as }ysnt }ysnt }ysnt }ysnt) )) ) They were tempted.The Critical Greek has the two
interpretations in reverse order to The Byzantine Greek text. The Greek words involved are : EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN &
EP EP EP EPEIRA EIRA EIRA EIRASYHSAN. SYHSAN. SYHSAN. SYHSAN. These have 75% correspondence , which is higher than other Greek examples, but still not as high as
Ashuri and DSS Aramaic pairs. Here is the Greek pair, one atop the other: EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN EPRISYHSAN
EP EP EP EPEIRA EIRA EIRA EIRASYHSAN SYHSAN SYHSAN SYHSAN

,scourges, is out of context with the Aramaic word phrase Nwhb abu whd Nylya aynbl Children with whom He is
Pleased. A good human father does not scourge his children at all, in my opinion; Much less would he scourge those with
whom he is pleased. The Greek reading paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradechetai - -- -receives, seems a misreading of the Aramaic abu
Tsaba (Pleased) . In other places where reading paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradechetai - -- -Receives occurs , the Aramaic verb
albq Qabal (Received) is used in The Peshitta. Here are the these Aramaic verbs for Pleased and Received in DSS
script: )bc : )lbq .
In Estrangela script: 0bc a0lbq .

The Aramaic verb abu Tsaba (Pleased) has a form abjum which means , Accepted. The two Aramaic words in
Estrangela script are 0bc a0b+cm . IIt appears that the Greek readings in this verse are based on The Peshittas Aramaic. It
also appears that in the two Greek readings mentioned here, the Greek translator selected an incorrect meaning among the
possible interpretations of the two Aramaic words dgn Nagad and abu Tsaba .
Now here is an interesting fact. The Greek word prosdecetai prosdecetai prosdecetai prosdecetai prosdechetai comes from the same root as paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai
paradechetai Receives and can have the same basic meaning: Receive , and this Greek word parallels the Peshittas
Aramaic word ako Expect,Wait,Look for.Another Aramaic candidate for the base behind the Greek reading
paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradechetai - -- -Receives , is abon (Take,Receive). Ashuri Aramaic script: 1. abu & 2. ako & 3. abon
:
Estrangela Aramaic script: 1. a0bcu & 2. 0ko s & 3.0abosn : Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script : 1. )bc & 2. )ks & 3.
)bsn.
abu Tsaba (Pleased) & abon Nsaba (Take,Receive) are very similar phonetically. It is possible that a Greek
translator relied on dictation at this point or simply pronounced the word Nsaba instead of Tsaba and translated it
paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradechetai - -- -receives accordingly.
abu Tsaba (Pleased)
abon Nsaba (Take,Receive)

The Greek for Pleased is eudokhsa eudokhsa eudokhsa eudokhsa, or areskein areskein areskein areskein , neither of which looks anything like the reading paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai paradecetai
paradechetai - -- -Receives. The Greek reading cannot credibly account for the Peshittas Aramaic reading. The Peshitta can
account for the Greek.

The Greek reading is noyoi noyoi noyoi noyoi nothoi-illigitimate. The Aramaic for this would be arwg ynbl benay gora (sons
of adultery) ; In DSS script )rwg ynbl ; In Estrangela : aa0rwg ynbl . Compare arwg ynbl with ayrkwn Nwkl -
Strangers : )rwg ynbl with )yrkwn }wkl: aa0rwg ynb & a0yrkwn Nwkl . The grey highlight marks the Aramaic
letters in the actual Peshitta reading that are quite similar to the hypothetical Aramaic behind the Greek. The letters are in the
same order as in the hypothetical reading for illegitimate.Here they are in Ashuri script with three letters removed after the
hypothetical reading: arwg ynbl - arwn Nkl (88% match) . In Estrangela : 0rwg ynbl & a0rwn Nkl; ; In DSS :)rwg
ynbl with )yrwn }kl . The Ashuri script presents the greatest similarities; indeed the word arwg is almost identical to
arwn (extracted from ayrkwn). Estrangela script is close behind with 0rwg and 0rwn - (from 0yrkwn) . The DSS falls short
as a candidate here , with )rwg & )yrwn. It is most likely Paul wrote to the Hebrew Christians in the Ashuri script; they
would have probably been unfamiliar with Estrangela unless they lived in Persia or perhaps Syria. The DSS would have been
confined to Israel, and probably to the Western part.
It is doubtful that noyoi noyoi noyoi noyoi nothoi - illigitimatewould be translated ayrkwn -Nukraya- Strangers by an Aramaean
translator.The Peshitta primacy theory is strongly buttressed here; Greek primacy suffers another resounding defeat.

C * Most Greek mss. (The Byzantine class) have orei orei orei orei -The mount; The Critical Greek agrees with The Peshitta
reading-The fire. Here is the Aramaic for Mountain: arwj ; Compare Fire- arwn . Here are the words in Estrangela:
a0rw+ a0rwn ; In DSS script: )rw+ )rwn . Any more evidence needed to see where the Greek Mount came from ?
Another possibility is that a Greek scribe saw: (the fire) arwnl (you have approached) Nwtbrqta and translated Nwtbrqta ,
then looked back at verse 22 to the verb in :(to the mountain) arwjl (you have come) Nwtbrqta , which is identical to that
in verse 18, and then saw arwjl instead of arwnl and translated orei orei orei orei -The mount. He then resumed work in the next word
in verse 18 (that burned) adqyd, etc..
arwn-Fire(Peshitta)
arwj -Mountain(Greek reading in Aramaic)

Byzantine mss. have skotov skotov skotov skotov Darkness ; The Critical Greek mss. have zofw zofw zofw zofw , a word meaning ,Darkness , Mist.It
just so happens that the Aramaic word, alpre , the corresponding word in The Peshitta verse, is defined
So it would appear two different Greeks translated this
Aramaic word each with a different Greek word meaning Darkness.

alpre-Dark fog(Critical Greek reading)
alpre-Thick darkness(Majority Greek reading)


Of course, one may argue The Peshitta could have translated either Greek word as alpre , and that is theoretically possible,
however, The Peshitta has only one reading here, while the Greek mss. have two readings. The Peshittas textual integrity
overall and the Greek mss. wide variety of readings throughout the NT are not consistent with Greek primacy and a Peshitta
translation. The data support and account for the Greek NT as a translation of Aramaic words in The Peshitta NT in so many
places, including also Greek variants of many sorts and places, while the Greek readings can scarcely provide convincing
evidence to the contrary anywhere that I am aware of in The Peshitta NT. The vast bulk of evidence supports Peshitta primacy,
not a Greek original at all.

ai ai ai aidouv kai eulabeiav douv kai eulabeiav douv kai eulabeiav douv kai eulabeiav shamefacedness and fear. Both Aramaic words - atlxd & atumxt (The last two in the verse)
have several meanings: atumxt -Takhmatsta means ,reverence , bashfulness, modesty . atlxd- Dakhlatha means
, fear,reverence,worship,awe,piety. Here are the entries for these words from Smiths Compendious Syriac Dictionary:

The Majority Greek Text probably follows the Peshitta reading (Fear is matched with atlxd aa0tlxd in Estrangela , the
last word in The Peshitta verse.The Critical Greek , however, may simply follow the same text with alternate translations of the
same words. aidouv aidouv aidouv aidouv in Greek has two meanings: Shamefacedness or Reverence. Eulabeiav Eulabeiav Eulabeiav Eulabeiav also has more than one
meaning:Fear, Reverence, Piety, Fear of God, Caution. So both Greek readings could be explained by The Peshitta
reading.

Your mind has not loved money, but let whatever you have suffice for you, for Jehovah has said, I shall not forsake
you, neither shall I let go of your hand.

* The two verbs Kqbsa & apra are used together in The Peshitta OT several times, and are translated by Lamsa as ,I will
not fail you (Kpra) , nor forsake you - Kqbsa. aydya + apra is an idiom meaning to let go, to lose hold of. apra
by itself could mean, egkataleipw egkataleipw egkataleipw egkataleipw -forsake, but it is part of an Aramaic idiom which is more specific in meaning, as shown
above. This idiomatic phrase (the hand) aydya (of you) Kb (shall I let go *) apra did not come from the Greek se se se se
egkataleipw egkataleipw egkataleipw egkataleipw forsake you. It does appear the Greek came from one definition of apra , which I show here:
Actually, the Greek reading seems to have its last two verbs reversed from The
Peshitta order: the second to last Greek verb is anw anw anw anw, from anihmi anihmi anihmi anihmi aniemi an-ee-ay-mee ,
from 303 and hiemi (to send); TDNT-1:367,60; v
AV-loose 2, forbear 1, leave 1; 4
1) to send back, relax, loosen
2) to give up, omit, calm
3) to leave, not to uphold, to let sink . This conforms generally to the last Aramaic verb apra from apr

The last Greek verb kataleipw kataleipw kataleipw kataleipw ( (( (Forsake) )) ) conforms to the second to last Aramaic verb Kqbsa , from qbs :

All major Greek texts have exw thv pulhv exw thv pulhv exw thv pulhv exw thv pulhv Outside the gate. From the Gate in Aramaic is, aert Nm ; atnydm is City.
These words in Estrangela are ae09rt Nm & aFnydm . DSS has )(rt }m & )tnydm . Papyrus 46 and Uncial P has
perembolhv perembolhv perembolhv perembolhv Camp; the Aramaic for Camp is atyrsm which occurs in the verses before and after this one . Lets
compare City with Camp in Aramaic: atnydm atyrsm a . In Estrangela script: Fnydm aFyr$m . In either script,
these words look similar.DSS script: )tnydm : )tyr$m . All three have 83% letter correspondence.
The definition for the Greek word perembolh perembolh perembolh perembolh follows :

Here are the parallel Greek words used : PULHS = PULHS = PULHS = PULHS = Gate
POLE POLE POLE POLEw ww wS = S = S = S = City
PEREMBOLHS = PEREMBOLHS = PEREMBOLHS = PEREMBOLHS = Camp

Gate and City in Greek have a 60% letter correspondence. The two Aramaic words for City and Camp have 83%.
It seems the Aramaic atnydm was mistaken by at least two Greek scribes as atyrsm. It also appears that the first Greek
translator put pulhv pulhv pulhv pulhv for atnydm City as metonymy (A part of speech using a part of something to stand for the whole)-
Gate=City.
Here are the two Ashuri Aramaic words in question, one atop another, for comparison:

The Revelation
which came to John The Evangelist from God
in Patmos the island to which he was exiled by
Nero Caesar

Introduction

The Date of Authorship

Sir Isaac Newton wrote the following concerning the date of the writing of Revelation. Isaac Newton, one of the greatest
scientists of all time, wrote voluminously on the subject of Bible prophecy, especially of the books of Daniel and Revelation:

Irenaeus introduced an opinion that the Apocalypse was written in the time of Domitian; but then he also postponed the writing
of some others of the sacred books, and was to place the Apocalypse after them: he might perhaps have heard from his master
Polycarp that he had received this book from John about the time of Domitians death; or indeed John might himself at that time
have made a new publication of it, from whence Irenaeus might imagine it was then but newly written. Eusebius in his
Chronicle and Ecclesiastical History follows Irenaeus; but afterwards
[a]
in his Evangelical Demonstrations, he conjoins the
banishment of John into Patmos, with the deaths of Peter and Paul: and so do
[b]
Tertullian and Pseudo-Prochorus, as well as the
first author, whoever he was, of that very antient fable, that John was put by Nero into a vessel of hot oil, and coming out
unhurt, was banished by him into Patmos. Tho this story be no more than a fiction, yet was it founded on a tradition of the first
churches, that John was banished by him into Patmos in the days of Nero. Epiphanius represents the Gospel of John as written
in the same time of Domitian, and the Apocalypse even before that of Nero.
[c]
Arethas in the beginning of his Commentary
quotes the opinion of Irenaeus from Eusebius, but follows it not: for he afterwards affirms the Apocalypse was written before
the destruction of Jerusalem, and that former commentators had expounded the sixth seal of that destruction.
With the opinion of the first Commentators agrees the tradition of the Churches of Syria, preserved to this day in the title of the
Syriac Version of the Apocalypse, which title is this: The Revelation which was made to John the Evangelist by God in the
Island Patmos, into which he was banished by Nero the Caesar. The same is confirmed by a story told by
[d]
Eusebius out of

Clemens Alexandrinus, and other antient authors, concerning a youth whom John some time after his return from Patmos
committed to the care of the Bishop of a certain city. The Bishop educated, instructed, and at length baptized him; but then
remitting of his care, the young man thereupon got into ill company, and began by degrees first to revel and grow vitious, then
to abuse and spoil those he met in the night; and at last grew so desperate, that his companions turning a band of high-way men,
made him their Captain: and, saith
[e]
Chrysostom, he continued their Captain a long time. At length John returning to that city,
and hearing what was done, rode to the thief; and, when he out of reverence to his old master fled, John rode after him, recalled
him, and restored him to the Church. This is a story of many years, and requires that John should have returned from Patmos
rather at the death of Nero than at that of Domitian; because between the death of Domitian and that of John there were but two
years and an half; and John in his old age was
[f]
so infirm as to be carried to Church, dying above 90 years old, and therefore
could not be then supposd able to ride after the thief.
This opinion is further supported by the allusions in the Apocalypse to the Temple and Altar, and holy City, as then standing;
and to the Gentiles, who were soon after to tread under foot the holy City and outward court. Tis confirmed also by the style of
the Apocalypse itself, which is fuller of Hebraisms than his Gospel. For thence it may be gathered, that it was written when
John was newly come out of Judea, where he had been used to the Syriac tongue; and that he did not write his Gospel, till by
long converse with the Asiatick Greeks he had left off most of the Hebraisms. It is confirmed also by the many false
Apocalypses, as those of Peter, Paul, Thomas, Stephen, Elias and Cerinthus, written in imitation of the true one. For as the
many false Gospels, false Acts, and false Epistles were occasioned by true ones; and the writing many false Apocalypses, and
ascribing them to Apostles and Prophets, argues that there was a true Apostolic one in great request with the first Christians: so
this true one may well be supposd to have been written early, that there may be room in the Apostolic age for the writing of so
many false ones afterwards, and fathering them upon Peter, Paul, Thomas and others, who were dead before John. Caius, who
was contemporary with Tertullian,
[g]
tells us that Cerinthus wrote his Revelations as a great Apostle, and pretended the visions
were shewn him by angels, asserting a millennium of carnal pleasures at Jerusalem after the resurrection; so that his Apocalypse
was plainly written in imitation of Johns: and yet he lived so early, that
[h]
he resisted the Apostles at Jerusalem in or before the
first year of Claudius, that is, 26 years before the death of Nero, and
[i]
died before John.
The Nature of The Crawford Manuscript

John Gwynn has written at length concerning this unusual manuscript in his The Apocalypse of St. John, in a Syriac Version
Hitherto Unknown .Gwynn believed the manuscript to be a copy of an early 7
th
century translation from Greek, yet significantly
and radically different from The Harklean Syraic Version translated in A.D. 616 . He notes that the book contains more
Hebraisms than any other NT book and that it is idiomatic- Aramaic used throughout, unlike The Harklean Version which is
Graecianized (conformed to Greek language). He also is of the opinion that the writer was thoroughly familiar with the
Peshitta O.T. and used its vocabulary and style extensively, listing dozens of words peculiar to that version found only in
Crawford Revelation and not in The Peshitta N.T. .

I have a different view of the nature of this text which Gwynns findings support; for instance, Hebraisms (or Aramaisms) would
not come from Greek, they would come from Hebrew or Aramaic. Aramaic idioms, of which Gwynn lists a considerable number
specifically, are evidence of original Aramaic, not Greek. The Peshitta O.T. vocabulary is Aramaic, not Greek, so the abundant
usage of its style and vocabulary strongly indicates that The Crawford is an Aramaic original, not a translation from
Greek.Greek primacy has ruled Western Biblical scholarship for so long that even the suggestion of an Aramaic original New
Testament has been laughed out of the court of scholarship every time it has been proposed. I have uncovered evidence recently
which overwhelms all Greek primacy claims and proves (and I use that word as appropriately as it can be used) that the
original New Testament was written in Aramaic.I cannot present the case here, but refer the reader to my book, Divine
Contact-Discovery of The Original New Testament , available at http://aramaicnt.com .
Suffice it here to say that The Peshitta NT plus Gwynns edition of The General Epistles and Revelation are demonstrated to be
the original autographs of the Apostles. That claim may be ridiculed and regarded as suspect on the face of it, but the evidence
is irrefutable , and the evidence isnt going away; neither is The Aramaic NT.

The text presented in this interlinear is what I believe is the letter perfect Divinely written original word of The Living God.
Everyone who reads it will be judged by what he reads and is accountable before God to accept and obey it as His word and
revelation. I count it a high honor and privilege to read it for myself and also to present it as Gods original utterance to The
Apostle John on The Isle of Patmos circa AD 55.
May you experience the revelation of Yeshua The Messiah from The Spirit of The God Who gave it to His Only Son.
Amen.

* He symbolized edws -Shooda is an important key for unlocking the meaning of Revelation. Symbolic language and

and the visions Joseph had interpreted in Genesis. Here is Smiths Syriac Dictionary entry for the word edws -Shooda in

C * Most Greek mss. have apo apo apo apo yeou yeou yeou yeou o wn kai o hn kai o ercomen o wn kai o hn kai o ercomen o wn kai o hn kai o ercomen o wn kai o hn kai o ercomenov ov ov ov - from God who is, and who was, and who is
coming ; Some omit God; all the Greek readings here are a mess grammatically; three nominative (subject) cases are used
where 3 genitives should be used as the object of apo apo apo apo from. This is an introduction to the quality of Greek in The
Apocalypse, which is rather shoddy. I give here an exerpt from Charles Torrey:

It has long been recognized that the New Testament is written in very poor Greek grammar, but very good
Semitic grammar. Many sentences are inverted with a verb > noun format characteristic of Semitic languages.
Furthermore, there are several occurrences of the redundant "and". A number of scholars have shown in detail the
Semitic grammar imbedded in the Greek New Testament books. (For example: Our Translated Gospels By Charles
Cutler Torrey; Documents of the Primitive Church by Charles Cutler Torrey; An Aramaic Approach to the Gospels
and Acts by Matthew Black; The Aramaic Origin of the Fourth Gospel by Charles Fox Burney; The Aramaic
Origin of the Four Gospels by Frank Zimmerman and Semitisms of the Book of Acts by Max Wilcox)
In addition to the evidence for Semitic grammar imbedded in the Greek New Testament, the fact that serious
grammatical errors are found in the Greek New Testament books may be added. Speaking of the Greek of
Revelation, Charles Cutler Torrey states that it "...swarms with major offenses against Greek grammar." He calls it
"linguistic anarchy", and says, "The grammatical monstrosities of the book, in their number and variety and
especially in their startling character, stand alone in the history of literature." Torrey gives ten examples listed
below:
1. Rev. 1:4 "Grace to you, and peace, from he who is and who was and who is to come" (all nom. case)
2. Rev. 1:15 "His legs were like burnished brass (neut. gender dative case) as in a furnace purified" (Fem. gender
sing. no., gen. case)
3. Rev. 11:3 "My witness (nom.) shall prophesy for many days clothed (accus.) in sackcloth."
4. Rev. 14:14 "I saw on the cloud one seated like unto a Son of Man (accus.) having (nom.) upon his head a golden
crown."

5. Rev. 14:19 "He harvested the vintage of The Earth, and cast it into the winepress (fem), the great (masc.) of the
wrath of God."
6. Rev. 17:4 "A golden cup filled with abominations (gen.) and with unclean things" (accus.)
7. Rev. 19:20 "The lake of blazing (fem.) fire (neut.).
8. Rev. 20:2 "And he seized the Dragon (accus.), the old serpent (nom.) who is the Devil and Satan, and bound
him."
9. Rev. 21:9 "Seven angels holding seven vessels (accus.) filled (gen.) with the seven last plagues."
10. Rev. 22:5 "They have no need of lamplight (gen.) nor of sunlight (accus.)." Dr. James Trimm

The Aramaic text of The Crawford ms. has no such grammatical problems. Are we to believe the original was written with poor
Greek grammar and that the Aramaic translation is flawless ? Some may believe just that; as for myself, I find no precedent
for that position in any other book of scripture, in either OT or NT, nor does the Christian doctrine of inspiration of scripture
allow for such a poor original text. The best objection one may offer is that we are left with poor copies of Revelation whose
original Greek text was free from all such errors. It would be passing strange to find that not one manuscript or group of
manuscripts remains with original readings and that only the errors in all the above cases survived. Aramaic primacy clears up
the problem quite easily; The Greek text is a translation of an Aramaic original.

* I submit an excellent article on this verse by Chris Lancaster, a long time Peshitta researcher and Peshitta primacy
advocate
The Greek:
alfa alfa alfa alfa w ww w
(/ego emi to alpha kai to o legei kurios ho theos ho on kai ho en kai ho erchomenos ho pantokrator/)
Translation:
"I am the Alpha and the O(mega), says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Chapter 21 Verse 6
The Greek:

(/kai eipen moi gegona ego to alpha kai to o he arche kai to telos ogo to dipsonti doso ek tes peges tou udatos tes
zoes dorean/)
Translation:
"And he said to me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the O(mega),the beginning and the end. I will
give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
Chapter 22 Verse 13
The Greek:

(/ego to alpha kai to o ho protos kai ho eschatos he arche kai to telos/)
Translation:
"I am the Alpha and the O(mega),the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
In the vast majority of Greek manuscripts, they state:
alfa alfa alfa alfa w ww w (/to alpha kai to o/ : The Alpha and the O(mega))
(/alpha/ : Alpha) being the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and (omega), the last.
One VERY strange thing of note:
(/alpha/ : Alpha) is spelled out while (omega) is simply the single letter (omega).
All of the Aramaic texts of Revelation that survive to date:

'alf 'af tu : The Alap, also the Tau)
[Note: in the above picture, the circled word on the left is the word for Tau in Aramaic. Aramaic is written from
right to left - Chris]
Alap is the first letter of the Aramaic alphabet, where Tau is the last, in parallel with the Greek Alpha and Omega.
How similar a lone (/omega/ : Omega) (or w ww w) looks like Tau [wt Chris] in Estrangelo script!
Taking a look at how (/omega/ : Omega) was written at the time of the New Testament, we get a good idea
of what shape was recognized. The similarity is rather striking between Omega and the letters of Tau [wt Chris]
closely written together.

Since copies of this book were written by hand, if wt : Tau was written closely together, it would be easily
indistinguishable from an (/omega/ : Omega). The translators then must have simply thought to transliterate
it, thinking that it was an (/omega/ : Omega) in the first place. Arguably this error can only go in one direction

word for Sunday. The Aramaic would hardly have been a translation of the Greek.

In Exodus 28:31, the Hebrew word dwpa Ephod (compare the Aramaic word in Rev. 1:13 adwpa Ephod) may have been
translated with the Greek word podhrh ; podhrh parallels the following Aramaic words in The OT (In Dead Sea Scroll script)
:)dwp)-ephod, )syrp-breastplate, )tdp-ephod ,)cwb-fine white linen ,)mwzrp-girdle
adwpa is matched in The Harklean Syriac Version by ardwp Pawdara-A long priestly garment down to the feet. Here is a
comparison of two Aramaic words in Ashuri script:
adwpa Ephod
auwb-Fine linen

DSS script:
)dwp) Ephod
)cwb -Fine linen

These two words in DSS script are strangely similar (80% correlation).

Estrangela script:
0dwp0 Ephod
0cwb -Fine linen
They are not nearly as similar in Ashuri or Estrangela scripts.

The second word )cwb-Bawtsais represented in The LXX by the Greek podhrh podhrh podhrh podhrh in several places.Thus the Greek reading
podhrh podhrh podhrh podhrh may be explained on the basis of the Aramaic reading )dwp) Ephod.The Aramaic word is not from the Greek
podhrh podhrh podhrh podhrh - -- -down to the feet.The word Ephoda is a Semitic word which occurs once in The Peshitta OT (Hosea 3:4) and
once in The Aramaic NT right here.

pepurwmenhv pepurwmenhv pepurwmenhv pepurwmenhv (Burning- feminine noun , genitive case) this is a grammatical no , no in Greek. Both case & gender
should agree for these two words. The Greek calkolibanw calkolibanw calkolibanw calkolibanw seems also to be an invented word, not occurring elsewhere in
Greek lit. It appears a translator made a compound Greek word out of two Aramaic words Brass & Lebanon, which did
not exist before and confused all the translators. Most translations of the Greek have, Burnished brass as the meaning.The
Greek of The Apocalypse (Gilyana in Aramaic) seems to contain many new compound words like calkolibanw calkolibanw calkolibanw calkolibanw which
combine two Aramaic words to form a new Greek word.

N * axmwr Rawmkha is used in Luke 2:35 and here in The NT. It is a feminine noun, contrary to Smiths Syriac
Dictionary, and is accompanied by a feminine verb in Luke 2:35 and by a feminine adjective here (atpyrx Kharripta-
Sharp). Greek has romfaia distomov oxeia romfaia distomov oxeia romfaia distomov oxeia romfaia distomov oxeia-a sword double edged sharp (Literal word order).Here is the Aramaic
for Double : atynyrt Trayyanita; Compare the Aramaic here for Sharp- atpyrx. It seems that here and in Rev.
19:15, atpyrx -Kharripta- Sharp was read doubly as both double and sharp.Here are both words in Dead Sea
Scroll Aramaic script:
)tpyrx-Sharp
)tynyrt-Double

Ashuri Aramaic Script:
atpyrx-Sharp
atynyrt-Double

Estrangela Aramaic Script
a0tpyrx-Sharp
a0tynyrt-Double

The two words are even more similar in Ashuri script than in DSS script. You can see how even the Nun- Yodh pair- yn could
have been mistaken for Pe- p. It seems our Greek translators vision was not too sharp and instead was seeing double !
N * Greek has oqiv autou oqiv autou oqiv autou oqiv autou -His appearance .

Here is the Aramaic Crawford reading in DSS script: htzxw & I saw Him.
Compare the Aramaic for the Greek reading in DSS script: hwzxw & His appearance-
Here is the Aramaic Crawford reading in Estrangela script: htzxw & I saw Him.
Compare the Aramaic for the Greek reading in Estrangela: hwzxw & His appearance-
Any of these Aramaic scripts presents at least 80% correlation between Aramaic word pairs.

Greek for I saw would be eidon eidon eidon eidon not very like oqiv oqiv oqiv oqiv appearance .The Greek does not seem to account for the Aramaic

* Greek has of Antipas. Antipas in Aramaic would be opytna , opyjna or oapytna.Frankly this does not look like any
Aramaic word in the text, so I dont see the explanation for the Greek reading based on word similarity in Aramaic. I do see
that the Aramaic verse speaks of My witness and does not name him. This may have presented a problem to a Greek
translator who seems to have also played the role of editor as well.A second phrase for the sake of all My witnesses is
missing in the Greek texts; after careful inspection , I saw that for the sake of all Mettul dcol was probably translated
as the Greek name Antipav Antipav Antipav Antipav -Antipas, which strange to say, means For the cause of all, from two Greek words, anti anti anti anti
for,instead of, for the cause of + pav pav pav pav - -- -all,every. So may the Greek translator have put a name to My
witnessasAntipas.

The Aramaic from the verse:- (faithful) anmyhm (My) ylyd (witnesses) adho (of all) lkd (for the sake) ljm
using the hypothetical Greek method above could be rendered: Antipas my faithful witness. adho sahda can be plural or
singular witnesses orwitness.

Why would a translator add all the information in the Aramaic (underlined words in prose translation) if the Greek were the
original ? Why also would he have not simply copied Antipas instead of translating it into a phrase for the sake of all ?
Invention and addition are not the signs of normal translation; omission and simplification are; therefore the Greek evinces
evidence of being a translation here as in many other places in Revelation and in other NT books.

T.R. The Greek mss. (Byzantine Majority + The Critical Greek text) have - en laodikeia en laodikeia en laodikeia en laodikeia in Laodicea; The
Textus Receptus (KJV Greek text base) has laodikewn laodikewn laodikewn laodikewn of Laodiceans. This agrees with the Aramaic reading here. The
Textus Receptus has a good number of readings which differ from other Greek (Byzantine and Critical) texts and which agree
with The Peshitta and Crawford ms. . The Peshitta does not follow The TR Greek text or any other Greek text known. All Greek
texts are supporting witnesses derivable from The Peshitta-Crawford Aramaic text.
An interesting note in Thayers Greek-English Lexicon under the entry for laodikeia laodikeia laodikeia laodikeia - -- -Laodicea documents that
Laodicea , Colossae and Hierapois were destroyed by an earthquake in AD 66 . Laodicea was not rebuilt until 120 years later
by Marcus Aurelius. This little known fact is extensively documented by Bishop Lightfoot in His commentary on Colossians and
Philemon, pp 274-300. This says volumes about the date for The Book of Revelation, does it not ? It must have been written
before AD 66 , else there had been no Laodicea left to which John could write ! Tacitus , the Roman historian, wrote that
Laodicea without any relief from us,recovered itself from its own resources.Tacitus wrote this in the early second century.
Another source says that Laodicea lay in ruins for quite a period of time until the Roman emperor Hadrian, at the
beginning of the second century (reigned AD 117-138) revived it after he visited the place. It was almost totally rebuilt
during the reign (AD 188-217) of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (Nicknamed Caracalla) . There was apparently no major
rebuilding of Laodicea before the second century and it is highly unlikely that this destruction should go unmentioned if a letter
to its church were written after AD 66 to a place in ruins and which furthermore boasts ,I am rich and affluent and have
need of nothing (v. 17). It is amazing that modern Bible commentators seem to be completely ignorant of this historical
information, dating the writing of Revelation at AD 95- an absurdly late date.

Greek mss. have tuflov tuflov tuflov tuflov Blind after Poor, which The Aramaic Crawford does not have. The Aramaic for Blind is
usually aymo . Have a look at this word and Poor ankom in DSS Aramaic script :

)ymsw-& Blind
)nksmw-& Poor

Estrangela script:
0ymsw-& Blind
0nksmw-& Poor
The DSS Aramaic Simkat s & Mim m (each word has both letters in corresponding places) appear more similar to each other
than the Estrangela counterparts s & m ,thus making it more likely a translator would confuse the DSS script words than the
Estrangela script words. The DSS letters y -Yodh & n nn n Nun are also much more similar (y -Yodh & Kap -k also) than in the
other scripts.
I do not pretend to ignore the possibility that an Aramaen might have translated this text from Greek and simply omitted a word
(Blind) , which is much more common than the addition of words in translation. I simply offer an explanation in support of
the converse theory of Aramaic primacy here, of which this author is fully convinced.

* ayrm Marya is Aramaic for Yahweh and occurs 14 times as such in this ms. of Revelation.The first is 1:8 and the last
is 22:20 , where Jesus is addressed as Marya Yeshua Yahweh Jesus.It appears 239 times in The Aramaic NT in all
but 6 books (not in Gal., 1 Thess.,Titus,Philemon, 1&2 John).None of The Greek NT books has this or any word like it, as Greek
has no equivalent for Yahweh.

Sealed seven seals in Aramaic is Tabaya taba shaba, which is really a play on words and poetic in Aramaic. There is
more of this in Revelation, as you will see. The poetic element is strong evidence for an Aramaic original. The Greek does not
exhibit this trait as does The Peshitta-Crawford Aramaic NT text.

N * yhwpa Appay-Nostrils,Face,Presence is in plural form. This is significant in the next verse, so I translate it here as
plural (Faces) , though it usually is translated as singular.

And they were saying to the mountains and the rocks , Fall on us , and hide us from the presence of The Lamb.

(of their anger *) Nwhzgwrd (great) abr (the day) amwy (has come) atad (because) ljm 17
(to stand) Mqml (able) xksm (& who is) wnmw

Because the great day of His anger has come , and who is able to stand ?

* Critical Greek has Their anger;Majority Greek has His anger.

Nwhzgwrd drugzahown is literally their anger, which grammatically refers to the plural yhwpa -faces in verse 16.
The Greek of verses 16 & 17 has hide us from the face of Him Who sits on The Throne and from the wrath of The Lamb,
for the great day of [Their] His wrath is come.The underlined words are not found in The Crawford ms.. (I believe the
Aramaic of these verses can account for the Greek readings. Rev. 5:13 has unto Him Who sits on The Throne and unto The
Lamb, so the phrase was probably selected to correct what appeared to be a problem in the Aramaic text, recreating a
familiar phrase. The plural pronoun intheir anger was confusing to a Greek translator who did not relate it to the plural
faces( apa Aphais always used in the plural form,even when singular in meaning), so he inserted ,Him Who sits upon
The Throne, before The Lamb to give a plural reference point for Nwhzgwrd - drugzahown -of Their anger.( apa
Apha is technically feminine, though it can have masculine predicates).
yhwpa His nostrils, from apa - (Apha-Nostrils,Face,Presence) is very similar to the Hebrew Pa (Aph
Anger,Wrath,Face,Nostrils).The Greek translator apparently translated yhwpa as the Aramaic word apa Face once in
the face of Him and then again he translated it with a Hebrew meaning Wrathin armad yhwpa -the wrath of the
lamb.
These facts can explain the Greek readings , Him Who sits on The Throne, the wrath of The Lamb , and His anger
(Byzantine & Textus Receptus) which reflects the Aramaic reading here, referring to The Lamb in v. 16 , as well as the Greek
reading , Their anger (Critical text of Westcott & Hort) .

(Shra) ars (is) tya (to him) hl (the name) ams (& in Aramaic) tyamraw (Abdo) wdbe (in Hebrew) tyarbe

Abdo in Hebrew means Servile or Worker; Shra has several possibilities, the most likely being , Strong or
Faithful.I believe the Greek text has it wrong here with its Hebrew Abaddon(Destruction) and the Greek interpretation of
Apollyon (Destroyer). The angel of the abyss must be given authority and released from the pit; he also does no destruction,
only causes pain. Nothing and no one is killed.The locusts cannot harm a blade of grass. This is not the work of The Destroyer.

The Greek says that Hebrew and Greek are the languages in which the name of the angel is given; the Crawford says Hebrew
and Aramaic are the two languages. The Peshitta has 21 other references beside this one to Aramaic & Aramaeans; the Greek
has no reference whatsoever to Aramaic or Aramaeans in The NT; in every place where the Peshitta has such a reference, the

Greek has the word ellhn ellhn ellhn ellhn or ellhnikh ( ellhnikh ( ellhnikh ( ellhnikh (Both mean Greek). ). ). ). The Peshitta also has six references to Greek , so it is not a
matter of The Peshitta expunging references to Greek.

The Greek NT is suspiciously devoid of all reference to Aramaic culture, people and language, as if they did not even exist in
the first century. I call this a literary genocide. It probably had a reasonable cause at the time, but the effects of this purge
are still with us today. Scarcely anyone even knows that Aramaic was the dominant language and Aramaean the dominant
culture of the Middle East and the Holy Land from the 7
th
century BC until the 3
rd
century AD. The language continued to be
spoken in that region until the seventh century.The notion that the NT was written in Aramaic is commonly dismissed in favor of
Greek with nary a trace of historical evidence to support a Greek original.

be? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

N * Greek has our Lords; Here is the Aramaic reading Nhlad our Gods compared to the Aramaic Nrmd - our
Lords .
In DSS script they are }hl)d our Gods & }rmd - our Lords . Our Lord almost always refers to Jesus The
Messiah, so the Greek would seem out of place referring to our Lord and His Messiah .Actually these readings do not
seem to be the kind that would be easily mistaken for each other, either in Greek or in Aramaic.
Nevertheless I show them here enlarged for the reader:

Aramaic in Ashuri script
Nh Nh Nh Nhla la la lad dd d our Gods
Nr Nr Nr Nrm mm md dd d our Lords

Greek uncial script
YE YE YE YEOU OU OU OU HMWN HMWN HMWN HMWN our Gods
KURI KURI KURI KURIOU OU OU OU HMWN HMWN HMWN HMWNour Lords

The Aramaic pair have a 60% correlation using the actual Aramaic reading as the basis of comparison for the alternate Greek
reading in Aramaic. The first and last letters are identical in each and the He h and Resh r are not dissimilar-absent the small
bottom left stroke in the h , they are practically identical, so 3 out of 5 letters in the base word are conceivably interchangeable
with the alternate word. The Greek does not fare as well, with 2 letters of the base word KURI KURI KURI KURIOU OU OU OU Lord being found to
match with the alternate reading YE YE YE YEOU OU OU OU God; 2 out of 6 is 33% correlation.

The Aramaic primacy model is a much more plausible basis for the Greek readings, generally, than the Greek primacy model is
for the Aramaic.

* wlbxd -dkhablu comes from lbx khbal to twist,writhe,travail,be in labor, pervert,corrupt,destroy.This verb is used
twice in this verse and here it is in the past tense who have corrupted. Destroyed would not fit here. The Greek text has a
present participle , which is a possible derivation of the Aramaic perfect tense, but the Aramaic perfect tense is not a likely
derivation of a Greek present participle; rather a participle in Greek would most likely be translated with a participle in
Aramaic.

M * Critical Greek and Textus Receptus Greek has purrov purrov purrov purrov red, fire colored; The Majority Greek text (about 100 mss.of
Revelation) have purov purov purov purov of fire.The Aramaic word arwnd can mean fiery. arwn is Fire and arwnd is of fire or
fiery.
Even the Aramaic Harklean Version (translated from Greek) has the same reading The Crawford ms. has; the Greek has two
variant readings, and why ? The answer here seems to be the same as for many other places in The NT where Greek has variant
readings- The Aramaic cognate word in the Aramaic text has several meanings or can be easily mistaken for another similar
Aramaic word which translates to the pertinent Greek reading.

* Greek has uion arsen uion arsen uion arsen uion arsen son male which is a literal rendering in line with the Aramaic text; this rendering is not Greek
language but Semitic (Hebrew-Aramaic-Arabic-Ethiopic). The Hebrew Bible has this expression in 1 Sam. 1:11 and Jer. 20:15
- Mysna erz- -men seed & rkz Nb -son seed .There are many Semiticisms in the Greek version of Revelation, strongly
suggesting a Semitic original.

Greek has of their testimony ; Only The testimony of The Lord Yeshua has power to defeat Satan. Our testimony is
irrelevant. His testimony is found in Mark 14:61,62 :
But He was silent and did not answer anything, and again The High Priest asked Him and said, Are You The Messiah,
The Son of The Blessed One ?But Jesus said to him, I AM The Living God, and you shall behold The Son of Man
sitting at the right hand of The Power of God and coming on the clouds of Heaven.
The Peshitta alone has the full force of our Lords confession under oath to The High Priest. His answer was not Yes, I am
The Son of God. His answer was Ena Na-I am The Living God.This answer was given to a band of soldiers who
came to arrest Him in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the entire band fell backward to the ground (See my Interlinear of John
18:5,6).

N * Greek has names onomata onomata onomata onomata . The Aramaic ams -Shma is singular. Whoever penned the original Crawford
Aramaic text was highly expert in the language; if he was translating from Greek, he would have known easily the difference
between the singular Greek onoma onoma onoma onoma and the plural onomata onomata onomata onomata ; no known Greek ms. has the singular onoma onoma onoma onoma name.The fact
that the Crawford has ams -Shma-Name mitigates strongly against a Greek original behind it; if it were a translation of
Greek, it would have ahms -Shmahey names or Nyhms -Shamhayn-names, as does the Harklean Syriac Version
-(ahms -Shmahey).

Whoever penned the Greek version of Revelation was not nearly as competent in Greek as the writer of the original
Crawford text was in Aramaic; of that I am confident.

And the smoke of their torment ascends to the eternity of eternities and there is no rest for them day or night those who
worship The Beast and its Image , or for him who takes the mark of its name.

This verse does not affirm everlasting punishment, though it gives that impression. If it were meant to teach that, the language
would be more straightforward. Smoke may rise to eternity even after the fire is extinguished in a Heaven without a ceiling. The
smoke represents the effect of the punishment or purging ; eternity of eternities signifies the eternal realm of souls of all
people who are also affected by the torment and purging of sin, which fire and brimstone represent. There is no rest to those
who worship (present tense) The Beast. It is important to note the tense of the verb. It does not say there will never be rest to
them, nor does it say there is no rest for those who worshipped The Beast. All of us worshipped The Beast at one time; that
does not mean there is no salvation possible for us .
Revelation is written in symbolic terms, not literal language. No rest signifies that the torment of the wicked is primarily
internal and mental anguish, not literal physical pain caused by literal fire burning flesh. If the torment were the burning of
bodies in fire and molten sulphur, rest would not be the remedy needed by the tormented.They would need serious medical
attention at the least; what they really would need is a Divine Savior.The Bible does not anywhere say that there are some for
whom Jesus The Messiah is not a Savior or whom He cannot or will not save. It does say that some go into eternal torment; it
does not say they cannot or will not come out from it.

A major stumbling block for many is the concept of the word eternal and eternity being confused with everlasting.
According to The Bible, that which is eternal is timeless- without reference to time (See 2 Cor. 4:18). Everlasting indicates
an infinite or endless period of time. According to Pauls definition of Eternal, Mleld Dlalam , The word Everlasting
is a violation and contradiction against eternity, where time has no reference point and is therefore meaningless.One cannot
describe or define eternity as an infinitely long time;it is not time at all , nor can it be measured at all by a time piece.We must

find a new frame of reference for eternity outside of time and time concepts. It is Gods frame of reference, Whose Name is I
AM.

a * Greek mss. have a thousand, six hundred stadia;The Greek ms. Aleph (a, 4
th
cent.) has ciliwn ciliwn ciliwn ciliwn diakosioi diakosioi diakosioi diakosioi a
thousand two hundred, as does The Philoxenian Syriac Version (early 6
th
cent.) .
Here is a photocopy of The Sinaiticus at this place in the verse : .
The letters in Greek uncial script are
STADIWNCILIWN STADIWNCILIWN STADIWNCILIWN STADIWNCILIWN[EXA] stadiwn ciliwn stadiwn ciliwn stadiwn ciliwn stadiwn ciliwn[exa] stadia thousand [six]
DIAKOSIWN DIAKOSIWN DIAKOSIWN DIAKOSIWNKAIE KAIE KAIE KAIE diakosiwn diakosiwn diakosiwn diakosiwn kai e kai e kai e kai e two hundred. And

If the Aramaic is the original, how did most Greek mss. get 600 instead of 200 ? Ah, but the Aramaic Nytamw is 600 and
200 ! How ? The Aramaic language uses letters for numbers as well as words. Nytamw can mean and two hundred (which it
most likely does) or it can be interpreted as (hundreds) Nytam (six) w since w (Waw) is also used for the number six.
The Greek interpretation may have been influenced by the Hebrew form for hundreds- twam ; The correct Aramaic form
would be aam .
The more accurate use of this method would actually give six- two hundreds which is exactly what The Sinaiticus has !
[Greek does not have a six -two hundreds.]

So The 4
th
century Greek Sinaiticus bears witness to the Aramaic text of Revelation (The only Greek ms. with 1200 stadia in
this place) as does The Majority Greek Text with its subtle but sloppy use of Gematria to obtain 1600 stadia.

Nytamw- And two hundred (Crawford & Greek Sinaiticus)
Nytamw-Six -hundreds (Greek reading base ?)

N * Greek mss. have : egeneto aima wv nekrou egeneto aima wv nekrou egeneto aima wv nekrou egeneto aima wv nekrou -it became blood, as of a dead man . The Crawford ms. has Sea
twice;the Greek has Blood in place of the second Sea.
Here is the word Sea in Aramaic: amy ; Here is Blood : amd .
Now look at them in DSS script: )my (Yamma-Sea)
)md dd d (Dma-Blood)

The Greek for Blood is aima ; aima ; aima ; aima ; The Greek for Sea is yalassh . yalassh . yalassh . yalassh .They are not at all similar.
I submit that the Aramaic explains the Greek, but the Greek does not explain the Aramaic reading.

Aramaic words for Demon are at least two: adas Shada and awyd Daywa. Greek has only one word for Demon
( daimonion daimonion daimonion daimonion Daimonion).In Revelation, the Greek has but one word, daimonion, daimonion, daimonion, daimonion, where the Aramaic has both adas
Shada and awyd Daywa. (See 9:20 & 18:2 as here). The Harklean Syriac Version (translated from Greek) has only awyd
Daywa in Revelation.If The Crawford were a translation of Greek , as is commonly supposed, why would it use two
different Aramaic words for the same Greek word ?This phenomenon occurs with other words as well.

* Nero was the sixth Caesar of Rome (One is), Julius Caesar being the first. This confirms my view that Revelation was
written during Neros reign (A.D. 54-68).
The first eleven Caesars: Julius,Augustus,Tiberius,Caligula,Claudius,Nero,Galba,Otho,Vitellius,Vespasian,Titus.
Some think the seven kings are reference to seven kingdoms: Assyrian,Babylonian,Persian,Greek,Roman,Split Roman(East &
West) ,Holy Roman. Jerusalem fell during Vespasians reign, AD 70.

N * Greek here and in verse 9 has estrhniasen estrhniasen estrhniasen estrhniasen partying, reveling; possibly this is because a translator construed
tyletsa as tylwetsa (from alwe do evil,be lawless) or from tyntsa from the verb ans be frenzied, infatuated.
It is not difficult to see how the Greek came from the Aramaic;it is difficult to see the reverse scenario happening.

the Critical Greek skips to the next verb in the next verse- Nwxksn they shall find, and does not have it in the next verse at
all.

C * The Majority Greek has h swthria kai h dunamiv kai h doxa tou yeou hmwn - salvation,& power & glory of our God;
the Critical Greek has the Aramaic word order, h swthria kai h doxa kai h dunamiv tou yeou hmwn - salvation, glory
and power of our God; some Byzantine mss. and The TR Greek (KJV Greek) have , h swthria kai h doxa kai h timh timh timh timh kai
h dunamiv kuriw tw yew hmwn - salvation and glory & honor & power of our God. The Aramaic atxwbst
Tishbokhta can mean -
-Smiths Compendious Aramaic Dictionary; It appears that this Aramaic word was double translated by one translator-a
phenomenon not uncommon in Revelations Greek apparently.(See previous notes on this.)
The Harklean Syriac Version has
To our God & honor & glory & power redemption
Nhlal arqyaw atxwbstw alyxw anqrwp
Redemption & power & glory & honor to our God
This is a revision of the Peshitta (in my opinion) based on the Majority (Byzantine) Greek text type. It retains many unique readings
of The Peshitta NT with many revisions of that text based on translation of Greek into Aramaic. This reading in verse one shows
that the Greek text used was similar to the TR reading of this verse.
I dont see the different Greek texts as completely separate translations of the Aramaic text, but I see one original Greek translation
(The Majority-TR type Greek text) and several revisions of that based on the Aramaic original. A revision would not be a fresh
translation but a new edition of the original Greek version in which many words were retranslated, but the vast majority of the
text was left intact.Many differences in the Greek texts are due to copyist errors which have nothing to do with different
translations of Aramaic words.

(of His servants) yhwdbed (the blood) amd (& He has required *) ebtw (with her whoredom) htwynzb

(her hand) hydya (from) Nm

required the blood from her hand is a Semitic idiom used in The Old Testament -2 Samuel 4:11 -Hebrew interlinear (my
translation):

(from your hand) Mkdym (his blood) wmd-ta (I shall require) sqba -2 Samuel 4:11

The Peshitta OT has:

(your hand) Nwkydya (from) Nm (his blood) hmd (I shall require) ebta -2 Samuel 4:11

The Peshitta OT of this verse 2 Sam. 4:11 has the same verb used in this verse 2 of Revelation and the same idiom, which idiom
indicates that equal payment (life for life) is required of the criminal for the crime of murder.
The LXX Greek of 2 Samuel has :ekzhthsw to aima autou ek ceirov umwn I will seek his blood from your hands.
The Greek of this Revelation verse has: exedikhsen to aima twn doulwn autou ek ceirov authv He will avenge the
blood of his servants from her hand.
The point is that these words in the Greek reflect a Semitic original; These words in Greek do not reflect a Greek original.

* The Greek has ek tou stomatov autou ekporeuetai romfaia a sharp sword proceeds from His mouth. The
Aramaic text has an army of warriors with swords from their mouths!

* The Majority Greek has distomov oxeia distomov oxeia distomov oxeia distomov oxeia double edged sharp.The Critical Greek and TR lacks -distomov distomov distomov distomov double. .. .
Here is the Aramaic for Double : atynyrt Trayyanita; Compare the Aramaic here for Sharp- atpyrx. It seems that
here and in Rev. 2:16, atpyrx -Kharripta- Sharp was read doubly as both double and sharp.Here are both words in
)tpyrx-Sharp
)tynyrt-Double

Ashuri Aramaic Script:
atpyrx-Sharp
atynyrt-Double

* ** * Greek has pataxh pataxh pataxh pataxh -will smite ; The Aramaic reading for will smite is Nwxmn . The Crawford Aramaic reading is
Nwljqn . Here are the two words in DSS script:
}wl+qn -will kill
}wxmn -will smite

These two have at least 60% letter correlation.

Greek for he will kill is apoktenei. apoktenei. apoktenei. apoktenei.This looks nothing like pataxh pataxh pataxh pataxh -smite.If the Aramaic were a translation of the Greek,
it would not likely contain the reading kill when the original had smite.

Here is of Life in Estrangela script :0yxd or 0nydd - of Life
Here is the Crawford reading : 0yyxd -of Judgment
The Dead Sea Scroll (DSS) is the most promising script candidate for explaining the two readings in Aramaic and Greek. It
appears that )nydd -of Judgment was read as )yyxd of Life by a Greek translator reading an Aramaic manuscript.
He would have misread two letters of the five: d dd d as a x , and n nn n as a y ; each is quite a plausible mistake as these letters are
quite similar in this script.

* Greek has tou arniou tou arniou tou arniou tou arniou -of The Lamb ; Here are the readings , of The Son (Crawford ms.) and of the Lamb in DSS
Aramaic:

Ashuri script
arma-of the Lamb
arbd- of The Son
abred-of the Sheep

DSS script
)rm) -of the Lamb
)rbd - of The Son
)br(d-of the Sheep

0rm0-of the Lamb
0rbd- of The Son
0br(d-of the Sheep

The Greek readings arniou arniou arniou arniou- -- -of The Lamb & uiou uiou uiou uiou of The Son are not sufficiently alike to explain the Aramaic reading. Here
they are in Greek uncial script with all spaces removed to simulate what fourth century Greek and earlier would have looked
like:

ARN ARN ARN ARNIOU IOU IOU IOU- -- -of The Lamb
U UU UIOU IOU IOU IOU of The Son

As you see, the actual Greek reading has three letters (ARN ARN ARN ARN- -- -) which are unlike those in the second reading ;the first is six
letters and the second four letters, with only three letters the same out of the six. If Greek were the original and Aramaic the
translation of the Greek reading, it is difficult to see how the Aramaic was derived from Greek. There is only 50%
correspondence between UIOU UIOU UIOU UIOU & ARNIOU ARNIOU ARNIOU ARNIOU . The pair of underlined DSS Aramaic readings above show much better
correlation than the Greek words (75% or more) m mm m and b bb b may be confused one for the other in this script, as may ) & d dd d ,
indicating that an Aramaic original probably gave rise to the Greek text rather than vice versa.

is a grammatical boo boo in this reading in the word fwv fwv fwv fwv light ; it is in the wrong case (accusative) , whereas it should be

Greek has they shall reign forever, which does not ring as true as He is their King forever.And over whom
would all people reign ? It sounds like all chiefs and no indians. The nations walk in its light, therefore The LORD God
Himself will be King over all the earth and Heaven.

What is truly interesting is that the Aramaic words in The Crawford text aymdq ayrxaw ayrwsw amlwsw the last four words

Completion,Consummation.It is easily conceivable that a Greek translator and a later reviser or translator using the
same Aramaic text would translate these words differently, thus producing the two major Greek readings here.

N * Most Greek mss. have pav filwn kai poiwn qeudov - every one loving and doing falsehood.
Here is the Aramaic yyzx -Seers in DSS script: yyzx ;
Here is ybwx- beloved, friends in DSS : ybwx.
DSS script
Lets enlarge and align them for close comparison: yyzx Seers
ybwx Friends

It looks quite likely that the Greek translator saw yyzx -Seers and translated it as if he saw ybwx -friends .

The Greek LXX manages to translate the Hebrew for Seer - hzx & har as profhthn profhthn profhthn profhthn - -- -prophet(several times), orwnta orwnta orwnta orwnta
seer (7 times) , blepontov blepontov blepontov blepontov seer (6 times). anakrouomenw anakrouomenw anakrouomenw anakrouomenw -Chief player, autov autov autov autov-He ,Nine times out of 28 it leaves
the Hebrew untranslated or mistranslated.It seems the Greek translators had some difficulty with this ancient Semitic concept of
One who sees as an official title and office. The Greek word filwn occurs 6 times in the Greek NT ; 3 times (50%) it is
translated Friends. Filwn in this verse is a singular participle verbal form whereas filwn , where it is translated
friends , though identical in form, is a plural adjective .
The Greek for Seers in this verse would most likely be orwntev orwntev orwntev orwntev or blepontev blepontev blepontev blepontev . Here are the two most similar Greek words
meaning Seers and Friends:

Greek Uncial script
ORWNTES ORWNTES ORWNTES ORWNTES Seers
FILWN FILWN FILWN FILWN Friends

It seems highly unlikely the Aramaic of this verse (yyzx Seers) came from Greek (FIL FIL FIL FILWN WN WN WN Friends) as the Greek
words above are so dissimilar as to cancel the Greek primacy theory here as in practically every other place where the two
theories are compared to the data of the Greek and Aramaic texts.

N * No Greek ms. has & his Companion. This is a totally uncontrived and very poignant description of our Lords

N * Greek has Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Here , as in quite a few other places, it appears a Greek
translator double translated an Aramaic word.

In this case, ahudw he who thirsts was read correctly and then reread as abudw & he who will. Each of the three
Aramaic scripts present 80% letter correlation between the two words.

In the textual notes, N indicates The Peshitta is Neutral but distinct from Greek in the word with the asterisk in the interlinear.
An M indicates it agrees with The Majority Greek against The Critical Greek reading; C indicates it agrees with The Critical
Greek text against The Majority Greek Text (Byzantine-Majority text form of Maurice Robinson, PhD, 1991).

I have chosen the interlinear format of translation as it is the most precise and accurate approach to translating the sacred
scriptures and requires thoroughness of analysis and translation of the original, especially considering that there was no other
interlinear available to me with which to compare , aside from Paul Younans four Gospels and half of The Book of Acts. I did
consult this as well as other prose translations- Murdock and Lamsa, especially, though these were not used as a base and do not
lend themselves to be used as such since they are not interlinears and are not matched with the Aramaic text. I have consulted
Lexicons, grammars and dictionaries extensively, as I am not fluent in Aramaic, having studied it only since the year 2000. I
have been a student of Hebrew for at least 20 years, and that has served me well in picking up on Aramaic grammar ,
vocabulary and syntax rather quickly. I have also been a student of Koine Greek since 1974 and understand NT Greek quite
well. The interlinear will serve as a base for a prose translation which I will complete in the near future, God willing.

The original Peshitta was apparently written in an Aramaic script very similar to that found in The Dead Sea Scrolls and yet
also similar in some of its letters of the alphabet to the Ashuri square Aramaic script (See above in appendix). Estrangela was
also used in the first century, and may have been used for some early copies of the Peshitta from which some books were
translated into Greek mss. More study must be done to ascertain the details, though it seems Hebrews in some Greek mss. may
have been translated from an Estrangela Aramaic Peshitta manuscript. This is determined by examining the numerous Greek
readings that differ from the Peshitta and comparing those readings in Aramaic form with the Peshitta readings , each in
Ashuri,Estrangela and DSS scripts, as I have illustrated in many places in the Interlinear.

Bibe Codes in The Peshitta

Imagine that hidden in an edition of Shakespeares complete works in English was found the following , by skipping 99,021
letters, 67 times, starting at the first letter -W -in Hamlet, Act 1, scene one:
William Shakespeare will become the most famous English playwright in the world.
Would you believe Shakespeare had put the 68 letter code there himself deliberately ? How could he have done so ? The code
would stretch through 6.3 million letters of text, covering all his works more than twice, connected from end to beginning ! He
would have had to compose each work in the order starting with Hamlet in the middle of the volume, then the play after it in
the book, etc, to the end of the book, then he would have had to compose the first play in the book, after the last play in the
book, and then the next, until we come again to Hamlet, which would have to have been written after itself and after the book
written after it, and so on and so forth ! Another alternative is that Shakespeare had written all 1252 pages of his plays at one
sitting and insured that the code , with 99,021 letters between each code letter , as long a text as Hamlet ,longer than Julius
Caesar & most of his plays , was precisely spaced and went through the entire text of the 1904 Oxford University Press edition,
two times, end to beginning!

Then six other similar codes were found in Shakespeare, of similar length , some even longer, with skip lengths even longer in
some, and going around the whole volume up to a dozen times for one code. Some of the codes were found to read backwards,
starting at the middle of the volume and working toward the beginning, then continuing at the end and going around several
times backwards to complete the code. Two involved long strings of letters that read one message forward and another
backwards using exactly the same string of letters! These facts make it impossibly complicated for a human being to compose
such codes that cycle around an entire book more than once . Each code , as its letters go through the same books a second time
, magnifies the already extreme difficulty of its construction by geometric and large exponential proportions.How does one
manage to write even one play with two code letters in it , each one spaced from a code letter in the plays before and after by
99,021 letters, and the same thing being repeated in the next play, and the next, and the next, through the entire 1252 pages and
around the volume, like a cylinder, all fitting like a jigsaw puzzle of 3 million pieces, in which each piece must be counted
twice in order for the puzzle to be assembled ?! Just for Shakespeare to count the letters between code letters each time, would
have taken a month , assuming he counted two letters per second ! Simply to count from the first code letter to the second,
99,021 letters away, would have taken more than thirteen hours, at the counting rate of two letters per second ! How one keeps
track of such numbers of letters as he is also composing and writing a play, is far beyond my imagination, and I have a pretty
lively imagination.

But remember, he is juggling seven such codes in the same volume, each going through the same plays multiple times, each
code letter separated by huge spaces of dozens of pages of text at a precise number of letters, each which he must count in
order to construct that particular code. Neither can the number of letters in the text be altered by even one letter, or all of the
existing code will disappear !

Just the counting of all the code letters for the seven codes would have taken about half a year, day and night (no sleep) at the
generous rate of counting two letters per second, just once for each letter, without making one counting error, while writing his
plays at the same time ! Lets give the poor man some sleep time of eight hours a day, and make that a year, counting twelve
hours a day, so that he is not spending every waking moment counting ! That kind of counting would be a near impossibility in
itself , aside from the coordination involved in writing and fitting the seven codes revolving around their orbits several times
each, some forwards and some backwards, some both forwards and backwards ! The total picture of activities involved presents
an impossibility multiplied by an impossibility, multiplied by an impossibility !

And did I mention that Shakespeare also wrote some codes in French ? In fact, some of the codes are in English and French,
both at the same time ! The same letters can be spaced differently and read in French. Some read in English forward and in
French backwards !

There are four or five possible explanations for the above :
1. Shakespeare did it intentionally. In that case, he would have to qualify as a superhuman intellect beyond anything ever
imagined possible for a human.
2. It was sheer coincidence. The odds against that are beyond all odds verifying DNA or any other statistical proof.
3. An extraterrestrial dictated the text to Shakespeare or the editor at Oxford Univ. Press in 1904.
4. God dictated the text to Shakespeare and prearranged the book order for the Oxford Edition.
5. A time traveler from the future dictated the text to Shakespeare.

, languages and titles were changed were changed to protect the innocent. I have found seven such codes thus far;
none is about Shakespeare, but each one is about Jesus The Christ (His birth , suffering , death or resurrection).

Even if The Peshitta were a translation, or any of the Aramaic NT books were translations, the text as it exits in the edition I
have did not exist in any one Peshitta scroll or codex in the fifth century or earlier. Many books exist in single book
manuscripts or sections of the NT. Gospels are usually separate from Epistles. Western Peshitta mss. do not have Revelation or
five of The General Epistles in the same text as the Critical edition in The Syriac NT.

No translator(s) could have pulled off a feat like what I have described, even with a super computer and super advanced
software. I seriously doubt we will ever be able to invent such codes hidden in a text by spacing the letters so far apart ,
connecting the text end to beginning, and make several sentences or paragraphs in each one, all grammatically correct and
coherent, each telling a related Gospel message about The Messiah, God and The Holy Spirit, The Birth, Suffering, Death and
Resurrection of Yeshua Meshikha, each in beautiful Aramaic or Hebrew poetry !

It appears to me that God put these codes in the Aramaic New Testament to be discovered in the computer age, when many are
skeptical and without faith in God or The Bible, but have faith in technology. There were no computers when The New
Testament was written, yet computer technology is required to find these codes I have found in The New Testament.
Since no mere human, reading or studying the text, could have found these codes without a computer, I affirm that no mere
human in the first century or in any century before the computer age could have put them there; nor would he have reason
to. It would seem that the human difficulty of composing these codes would far exceed the difficulty of finding them. If the
seven long codes are not proof enough, I have found millions of Divine Name codes in the NT, via an experiment, far beyond
statistical chance occurrence numbers, that pinpoint The Codemakers identity.

I further affirm that this discovery demonstrates at least eight truths:

1. The God and Christ of God of The New Testament exist and are exactly Who and What that New Testament says they
are.
2. The New Testament in which these scientific proofs exist is absolutely true in all its statements, i.e.- infallible-
historically, theologically, prophetically, scientifically, grammatically, geographically and textually-where it presents
data concerning what pertains to the claimed statements and activities of God, Christ and The Holy Spirit. Whatever
statements or actions are attributed to humans , angels or demons are also accurately recorded and are true history,
though , unlike Divine statements, may not be necessarily true statements, since human and diabolical errors and lies
are also accurately recorded.
3. The original New Testament was written in Aramaic and has been preserved to this day with 100% word accuracy in
The 27 books of The Peshitta-Peshitto form I have tested, and in which I have found volumes of coded information.
4. Greek is not the original language in which any New Testament book was written.
5. The Greek New Testament is a translation of the original Aramaic text in all 27 books of the Western New Testament
canon.
6. The number of letters in The original New Testament was and is 461,094. It is possible that the completed text as
written approx. 1950 years ago had some few spelling differences in a few places or compound word division
differences, but the total number of letters was the same.
7. God and His Son love you eternally, and have provided for your eternal welfare and joy.
8. Nothing can separate you from that love.

The following is a sample of my translation of The Peshitta NT;It reads right to left:

61
(He answered him) yhyne (not) al (& anything) Mdmw (was) awh (silent) qyts (but) Nyd (He) wh

But He was silent and answered him nothing;and again The High Priest questioned Him and said,Are You The Messiah,
The Son of The Blessed One? But Jesus said , I AM The Living God , and you shall behold The Son of Man Who sits at
the right hand of Power, and comes on the clouds of Heaven. (Bauschers Aramaic-English Interlinear translation of The
Peshitta Gospels)
Mark 14:61,62

The discovery of the codes in The Peshitta New Testament may be the most significant scientific and religious discovery
since the resurrection of Jesus Christ ! The probabilities of such codes occurring by chance or by human design, as I discuss
in the introduction and in my book , Divine Contact-Discovery of The Original New Testament ,are practically zero This is

The Text of The Peshitta New Testament

The 1905 Syriac Peshitta New Testament (UBS) critical edition has the following breakdown for its 27 books:

Matthew has 57,798 letters
Mark - 36,326
Luke - 62,649
John- 48,505
Acts- 65,813
James 6,179
1 Peter 7,038
2 Peter 4,532
1 John 6,169
2 John 823
3 John 825
Jude 1,890
Romans 24,738
1 Cor 24,534
2 Cor 16,129
Galatians 8153
Ephesians 8064
Philippians 5789
Colossians 5376
1 Thess 5090
2 Thess 2726
1 Timothy 6796
2 Timothy 4574
Titus 2941
Philemon 1108
Hebrews 18,416
Revelation 28,113

Any change in the order of the books or the addition/deletion of one letter of any of its books would destroy all the eight long
codes I have thus far found, all of which go through the NT at least one time, most more than twice !

The following codes were found in addition to those in my book- Divine Contact:

What is amazing about The Peshitta New Testament, aside from the fact that it tells the incomparable story of The
Messiah Yeshua, Whom The Peshitta names MarYah (Jehovah-Yahweh) thirty times, is that it has codes hidden in
the text which can be found by using Codefinder software. It can search for a phrase or word I have typed into the
program to search, such as Aramaic scriptures, which I did. The program starts at the beginning of the text (Matthew
1:1) and looks for the first letter of the search term. When it is found, it then begins to look for the next letter by skipping
text letters at what ever level I have set it to skip. In this case, I was searching an Aramaic text for an Aramaic phrase
( -Kathaba Aramaith-Aramaic scriptures) . I had set the programs skip numbers so that it would
search for the ten letter term by skipping 1 to 100,000 letters. It was set also to search negative 1 to negative 100,000 skip
numbers. This means it would search for the backward term as well, starting with the last letter, then the second to last,
etc.. !
The program found the main 10 letter term once in the NT. Search wrap was set on so that the search would not stop
when it came to the end of the NT, but it would recycle back to Matthew 1:1, first letter, still counting skip numbers and
text letters without interruption in its search. The program computes the probability of the term occurring by chance. This
ten letter term has a 22% chance. That is not very impressive, however, what I found attached to either end of that term is
quite impressive. There are 27 more letters of code attached, spelling out :
devastated Father judged they rebuked Aramaic scriptures wealth & he searched a remnant to detain You shall rebuke
ds ba Nd wak tyamra abtk lm smw dyro wrkel Nkt
-You shall rebuke to detain a remnant & He searched the wealth of The Aramaic
Scriptures .They (scriptures) rebuked ; a father judged; He devastated.
The two letters before scriptures spell lm He spoke. It can also mean wealth.
When I added that to the search phrase, I had wealth of The Aramaic Scriptures.
The probability for this three word phrase is reduced to approx. 0.22 % , or 1 in
500. Going back another three letters gives another Aramaic word - -- - sm-Moesh
(he searched) with a conjunction wand attached smw .So then I had four words
in a row: And he searched the wealth of the Aramaic Scriptures. The probability,
based on letter frequencies of each code letter and the number of possible ELSs in
The NT text of The Peshitta, is 0.00022%, or 1 in 500,000 !
But going back another four letters gave me another Aramaic word- dyro Saride,
which means, a remnant. So now I have , A remnant, and he searched the wealth
of the Aramaic Scriptures. This four letter term increases the odds 10,000 times to 1
in 5,000,000,000 ! Another five letters back, and I had wrkel Lakro (To detain,
to hinder). Finally, I found another word by going backward three more letters-
Nkt -Takan (Meaning ,You shall rebuke). This gives , You shall rebuke to
detain a remnant & He searched the wealth of The Aramaic Scriptures.The odds for
this are increased a thousand fold to 1 in 5,000,000,000,000 (5 trillion to one!)
This is what I found by looking in back of the search term . There were four words in
front of it as well: ds ba Nd wak they rebuked; a Father judged; He devastated.
The odds for the whole string of 36 letters are
5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to one !
But the best is yet to come. These same letters also form another Aramaic code by
reading them backward, and in fact, the reverse reading turns up an even longer
message of 42 letters, on top of the 37 letter message. Here is the reverse code:

they abhorred He was captured He will perish It stabbed
wdn abs dban red

Appendices


It stung him He entered He was tender they sprinkled confessed searched trusted* The Father ofThe Lamb the wrath
htkn le Kr wor ydwm sm lkt ba arma ytka
It stabs; He will perish; He was captured; they abhorred the wrath of the Lamb.
The Father trusted, searched ,confessed; they sprinkled; He was tender ;He entered;
It stung Him.
If you look carefully, you will see that the first Aramaic code is entirely contained in the
second one, only the letters are arranged in reverse order and they are separated
differently into words.
The odds against this second code is 10 to the 42nd power to 1 !
The combined odds for the forward and backward codes occurring in
The Peshitta New Testament are 1 in 10 to the 75th power !

Appendices

Just for the record, it should be noted that a ten letter ELS is very difficult to find in a text this size. The probability is
less than one in a thousand for a straight search, without wrapping the text, end to beginning (called a toroidal search).
Even with a toroidal search, the probability is only a few percentage points. This first Hebrew search was based on the
phrase Yeshua Meshiach-Jesus Christ, which has a 5% chance of occurring as an ELS in Matthew.There are 53
meaningful letters attached to either end of the Name. How did they get there ?
[ If Matthew had one letter more or one less, the above 61 letter code would not exist. The version of Matthew I used with
Codefinder is from The Eastern Version, used by the Church of The East . ]

The sense and symmetry in this code is unparalleled among other Bible codes I have seen which were found by others. It
is poetic and powerful, as are all the codes I have found in The Peshitta New Testament. The imagery used here
:Lodging The Son of God in a manger,Jesus budding forth as a flower in His birth, these are a signature poetic language
found in all six of the long codes I have found and which I display in this book. They possess and convey a beauty rare
among Christian and secular literature. All these codes also center around the Gospel story of The Messiahs birth,
suffering, death and resurrection.

toward the beginning of the book, since this code reads backwards through the NT ,spelling out exactly what I have
printed above. It ends at 2 Peter 1:2, letter 13 (James ,1&2 Peter follow Acts in the Eastern canon order of books) , after
having gone back through Acts, John,Luke,Mark and Matthew, wrapping backward to the book of Revelation
(15:3,letter 12) and continues backward to Hebrews,Philemon,1 Thess., Ephesians, 2 Cor. ,1 Cor. , Romans and stops at
2 Peter 1:2, letter 13 .
18,474 letters is about ten chapters of text.

How could such design and beauty be accidental ? That means there are approx. ten chapters separating each letter of
the code, which code letters stretch essentially from Matthew to Revelation. There are exactly 18,474 letters between
each of the 25 code letters !
The birth of Christ about , this Christmas code it to one letter added or deleted were NT of The % 96 this of letter one If

Codefinder, using the frequency statistics for each letter of the code, calculates an R factor of 20, which essentially is the
number of decimal places after the decimal point in the probability figure ! - 0.0000000000000000001 or 1 in
100,000,000,000,000,000,000 .
That is approximately 1 in 100 million-trillions.

Appendices


What was the greatest work Christ ever did ? He said He could do nothing of Himself. If He could not do a small deed without
His Father, He certainly could not do the most difficult and important work without His Father. Did He do all the lesser
works with His Father and then the greatest work without Him ? Surely His death was His greatest and most difficult work.

He who has seen Me has seen my Father.

When did Christ appear most Divine and beautiful? Was it not on the cross ?Then it was on the cross that He showed us His
Father most clearly- covered in His own blood .

My Father and I We are One.

The 88 letter Messiah of Jehovah Code in The Aramaic Peshitta New Testament

Hebrew English Interlinear

This long version has 88 letters and employs a passive infinitive verb form of Reeb(to
contend) not used anywhere in Hebrew Scripture:

city from one to be disputed of The God Son

Appendices

This shorter version deletes The Son of God and has the shorter noun form of Reeb
(Contention) and has 80 letters:

was spoken of by Me bloody a firebrand He proposed a riddle He was lofty He was poor His night of Jehovah The Messiah caused to feel city of one the contention

with it of vapor & isle of vapor a companion of Jehovah from the isle you shall drive of The Stone & bitterness & religion & an index back I shall roam
P N

[For The Son of God to be contended against], or [A contention] from one city caused
The Messiah of Jehovah to feel His night; He was poor, He was lofty; He proposed a
riddle: A firebrand of blood was spoken of by Me. I shall roam back , & an index ,
religion, & the bitterness of The Stone you shall drive out from the isle of Jehovah, a
companion of the vapor & isle of vapor with it.

This code, like all the others I have found , seems to be poetic in form, therefore I display
it in verse below:

The matrix odds are 1 chance in 7.36278434219578 E 85 in favour of significance.

The original search term was hwhy xysmh -Ha Meshiach Yahweh The Messiah of Yahweh or
The Messiah Yahweh. It has a 52% chance of occurrence in The Peshitta at skips +-2- +-100,000 with search wrap on.

This entire code is Hebrew and is found by skipping 70,328 letters at a time 79 times to find the 80 letter code. To complete the
search, it cycles through The Peshitta NT twelve times. If this Codefinder edition of The Peshitta NT had one letter more or
less ,the code would disappear ! The same is true generally for the other four long codes I have found in The
Peshitta.This is the fifth long code I have found in The Peshitta NT and the longest one yet. Two are 61 letters, one is 41, and
the Christmas code is 25 letters. There are undoubtedly more where these came from. All of them are about The Messiah; all
but one about His suffering and death.

The grammar is fairly straightforward and the message is in riddle form, even explaining itself to be a riddle. I leave it to the
reader to decipher the meaning.

The R Factor 85.867 is the Probability Exponent (10
85
to 1) of the odds this string of letters is there by chance. The exponent of
the number of electrons in the universe is 81- (10

).
That gives an idea how great the odds are against this being a coincidence.

I challenge anyone to find such a code in The Greek NT or any other version of The NT.

This is a most unusual Bible code found in The Aramaic Peshitta NT. There are 98 letters forming Hebrew and Aramaic words.
The initial search term was or Aramaic for The end of the world .
There are 93 letters forming Hebrew words and 77 of the same letters form Aramaic words. A 23 letter Hebrew code is
found by reading an Aramaic code backward! 21 letters are part of an exclusively Aramaic code. There are 191 letters
of code in this 98 letter string! Connected to this 98 letter string are the following:

(Aramaic) He kneaded my blood; He smote us and (stirred) shocked us , causing us to drink blood. It was the end of My world.

I have found this term ,He kneaded Me ,in another code in The OT. This term here probably refers to the communion cup
and the bread being combined in ONE PERSON and sacrifice , as if blood were kneaded into the bread dough, symbolically. It
also refers to the physical flagellation of our Lord; His blood and flesh were extensively intermingled. The drinking of blood
would refer also to the cup at the last supper, from which our Lord also drank. We know from John 6:66 that our Lords
teaching about drinking His blood was a stumbling block to many of His followers, as they did not understand the spiritual
meaning of His words.
It is the death of Christ that gives us life. To drink His blood is to draw life from meditation on His sacrifice of Himself in love
to us- the sacrifice of His father in giving all that was His, which cup Jesus also drank, as He spoke of it in the garden of
Gethsemane : Let this cup pass from Me. He was not praying He might avoid death. He had come for the purpose of
dying. He was praying for His Father, for he had known that His Father was inseparable from Him, and would go to the
very Death with His Only Son. Our Lord prayed not for Himself, but His Father and God. The Father gave Him the cup of
His own blood also, signifying that he would also show His Son what to do by laying down His very Soul and Spirit first.
Jesus said , Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what
things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (John 5:19) Do we believe these words, or do we think The
Son of God was being poetic ? I can assure you, He was not poetic in His teaching. He was in earnest and taught eternal
truth here, prefacing his words with the double Amen, in Aramaic, meaning, This is absolute , eternal truth . How did
our Lord know how to die ? His Father showed Him; He died first. What could wrench the words of agony from The
Eternal Son, always indissolubly One with His Father, My God, My God , why have You forsaken Me ? The Father
could not watch His beloved die; He therefore died first, showing Him the way. And truly, they died as One together, as
The Son lived by His Father and The Fathers Life was His Son, Neither can exist without the other. Here is a beauty
unsuspected by men in the eternal counsels. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself
doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. (John 5:20)
The death of our Savior was the greatest and most difficult work He ever did on behalf of mankind. Are we to believe He did
this on His own, even though He expressly said he could do nothing on His own, but imitated what he saw His Father doing
? But as the blood was an offense to even many of the disciples, so is the idea that God The Father would lay down His life
with his Son, to show Him the way in Love. Our Father is no mere spectator in the work of suffering and death necessary to
save the world. He is no less a hero and Lover of Christ and men than His glorious Son is of God and the world of men.
With Gods death, all men died. For the love of the Messiah constrains us to reason thus: One died for everyone; therefore
everyone died with Him. Since Christ is The Divine Creator and Upholder of all things, and is eternally One with The
Godhead, the creation perished with Him. And in His resurrection , all things were recreated new. Whatever therefore is
in the Messiah, is a new creation: old things have passed away; 18 and all things are made new, by God; who hath
reconciled us to Himself by the Messiah, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. 19 For God was in the
Messiah, Who hath reconciled the world with his majesty, and did not reckon to them their sins; and Who hath placed
in us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:17-19.

-74806 16.309 19.981 Mark Ch 14 V 4 Letter 21 2 Peter Ch 2 V 1 Letter 25
In Revelation 1:8 of The Peshitta, (Alap-Tau) is The name of The Messiah ,The Almighty. I have uncovered evidence
that The Greek NT translator interpreted this letter pair in at least 22 places in the NT as the title of God or Messiah, inserting
those words into the Greek text where they did not exist in The Aramaic of The Peshitta, but the Alap-Tau (called Aleph Tau
in Hebrew) combination did exist in a connected verb or noun. This study I have titled The Alap-Tau Codes in The Greek
NT. That same study also finds that the final ay - in The Peshitta NT in a few places was apparently similarly interpreted as
God in the Greek text . Paul Younan , a native Aramaean,has commented that this ending can refer to Yahweh in Aramaic
; i.e. ayrm- Marya means Lord Yah -ay Jah or Yahweh & rm Lord. It has been established that ayrm
Marya is the Aramaic for Yahweh.
If the last letter of the code be dropped, the last word means My hem.

Both code letter pairs occur in the above Hebrew code which reads upward instead of downward like the rest. Aleph -Tau are
the first two letters and Yodh- Aleph are the last two letters.
The Aleph-Tau (Alpha Omega in Greek) of Revelation 1:8 walked among golden lampstands 1:12 , which are the seven
churches 1:20. Those are probably the lamps to which this code refers ; the appraisal or assessment is the
evaluation of the churches by The Lord God Almighty ,The Messiah. The epileptic measuring Gods hem is probably a
reference to the healing power of Christ , according to Matthew 14:35,36: 35 (MUR) And the men of that place knew
him: and they sent to all the villages around them; and they brought to him all that were very sick; and they
entreated of him, that they might touch at least the extremity of his garment. And they who touched, were healed.
While the sick were testing the hem of Gods garment, The Christ was
assessing their faith by healing them through their faith.
One can imagine an epileptic touching the hem of Christs robe and saying, Oh, I was only measuring it to make You a new
one.

(Aramaic) In the natural state, & to multiply the flock, there shall be no trouble. The Lord shall sit as Son of Man to save . The
hills are roaring and woe !-(a Hebrew word) - because the heart is wounded , He seeks His Rock.

74806 62.361 66.033 Ephesians Ch 2 V 15 Letter 6 Acts Ch 20 V 15 Letter 35
In the natural state follows It was the end of My world in the code. This would indicate that the sentence should read:
It was the end of my world in the natural state. The first letter of In the natural state is found in Ephesians 2:15-
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in
himself of twain one new man, so making peace. KJV

The natural state was abolished in His flesh, (by His sacrifice), which means the old covenant of The Law was done
away, and a new covenant was created. The natural state refers to the carnal nature of mankind apart from the spiritual life that
comes by the new birth from the Holy Spirit.In this sense it was the end of the world , as a new order was established by
which God would govern and relate to mankind.
Christianity grew swiftly and dramatically in the first three centuries. Augustine wrote in The City of God that the whole
world was Christian in his time. He expected the golden age of a thousand years was soon to come or that they were in it.
Persecution had generally subsided for the 4
th
through the seventh centuries, and the Roman Empire collapsed. There was also
great missionary activity during that time. The Church of The East grew and spread as far as India and China from the Middle
East in Persia. They became the largest Christian church in the world , having 100 million members. The Western church
spread to Europe and went as far as Ireland , Scandinavia and Russia.
Whenever persecution did arise, our Lord would make intercessions for His people. Terrible persecutions did arise before and
after the general period of calm. We must ever be mindful of those who suffer, as He is , for we are members one of another ,
brothers and sisters, and of the same body.

The Christ said I thirst on the cross. He thirsted for His Father, for Whom he had cried out Elahi, Elahi, lemana

of our Lord and the bloody crucifixion and cross (the mast) . All had been calmly carved (or inscribed) in a chamber the night
before, even down to which cross He would be nailed to (perhaps it was newly cut wood). He is our ark of safety , carved and
battered as the ark of Noah by the storm of judgment, yet we are saved and safe within.

This probably refers to the death of Meshikha. He had been reunited with His Father in Spirit, as indicated by His words,
Father, into Thy hands I commend My Spirit. They were again One in Life. To the disciples, however, God was dead. He had
died and forsaken them, as they saw it. They of course did not understand how this could be, and they were overwhelmed with
grief and despair.
The matrix starts at Ephesians Ch 1 V 16 Letter 35 and ends at Acts Ch 20 V 15 Letter 35.
There are 7 significant terms in the matrix.

The above eight codes comprise 559 letters of Peshitta text, equivalent to 11 verses of Aramaic NT text !

The probability of these codes occurring coincidentally or apart from intelligent design is one chance in 10
592
.

Some amazing facts about these messages is that all eight of them relate gospel information about God and His Messiah !
All of them are toroidal- they wrap around the NT as a loop, most spanning the NT several times around, by connecting
the beginning of Matthew to the end of Revelation, enabling indefinite searches. All these eight codes are spaced apart
by at least 17,000 letters between each code letter, which is approx. ten chapters of text between each code letter. Some
span five times that distance for each letter of code ! How could any human intelligence manage to devise such a code ,
wrapping around the entire NT several times for each one ? (See the Shakespeare illustration above.)
