Aramaic: The Language of Jesus of Nazareth

[go4vern]

You said "Jesus spoke Aramainc", but is there any historical proof that Jesus existed as a historical figure?...

[lamrof]

Jesus spoke Ge;ez.

[lamrof]

Can't trust your book. You mispronounced the name of the language.

[DONALHOUTI]

JESUS WAS A DINASOUR HE EXTINCTED

[xkatieg]

very good teachings it also says its kates video my name hehe i love it.....

[SilviuDTM]

Jesus used to speak Aramaic, but he known every languge including Latin, Hebrew, Greek.

[alinsatx]

are you actually trying to make a point? or just talk

[RichardIIfan]

Hello again. What I find unacceptable is the ignorant vitiol, to which a vido like this attracts. I shall look out for this book but it may not be published in UK yet. BTW your book as published here desperately needed a proof-reader. I entirely accept your proposition both on an academic standing and a spiritual one.

[protochris]

We don't know what dialect of Aramaic he spoke, anyway, this doesn't mean the New Testament was written in Aramaic; that would be a linguistic impossibilty as all of Paul's writings and Acts betray the Greek language. Does it really matter if Christ proper name was Yeshua or in the vocative Yiesoo.? I think understand Jesus culture is far more important than the Language, which was not of Palestinian origin.

@protochris

My name is “Bising” in Malay Language meaning “Loud” so will you have the right to translate my name and call me “Mr. Loud” or you refer to me as “Mr Bising” if so than you are explaning my name rather than addressed me, i.e ( from Noun to Verb). Thus what justification of translating the meaning Yeshua when refering to Yeshua.

[ashthebartender1]

The Assyrians...YES but not Armenians...I love Armenians and besides Aramaeans we Assyrians have blended with Armenians...like 5 of my cousins are 1/2 Armenian...for some reason I am witnessing Nazi's trying to fool my brothers...some are stating that Armenians are the first Christians...this is false. Yes they are very early Christians but not the first...its a Nazi Lie!

[rainbowsky2]

I agree with you 100%

those who think Jesus did not speak Arameic don't know enough, or haven't done enough research

[outernettboy]

@rainbowsky2 im a muslim and i say jesus was a jew that spoke arameic and greek. its in the koran and its in the bible

[tFighterPilot]

@outernettboy He also spoke Hebrew. I suppose many of the Jews of the time were trilingual,

[uilium]

How do you know how it was pronounced? They left a pronunciation guide?

[gild71]

why do modern scholars claim jesus spoke aramaic based off the one word "abba". When his disciples quote him in the scriptures they always said "which in hebrew means", they never say he meant this or that in aramaic. 2000 years ago hebrew was a living language not like the one spoken today so they must have shared many similiar words like "abba" even arabic speakers today say "yabba" for dad and yet we know arabic is very different from hebrew.

[TheSaffyone]

@gild71 Arabic is modern Hebrew and saying very different is a lie and you know it. Lets compare. Shalom to Salam. Khamash to Khamis. We sometimes refer to God in respect by saying Allahom. Hamdollilah is similar in both hebrew and arabic. Common be objectives.

@gild71

Check my earlier reply.

[DELTAECHO1975]

[joepa99]

I believe that the NT was originally written in Aramaic and not Greek. Do you believe the same??

[GodForum]

joepa99 - why would a Hebrew prophet have something written in anything but Hebrew ?

[xerosisonek]

Because the Assyrians conquered Israel & the Babylonians conquered Judea and took the scribes and nobility into exile in Babylon. The Assyrians & Babylonians spoke Aramaic, so-called because their land was called Aramea by the Hebrews & others. When Nehemiah & friends came back from exile, it was the language they knew best. And the people of Galilee, Samaria, & Judea spoke mostly Aramaic by that time. Hebrew was resurrected as a spoken language w/ the advent of Zionism in the late 1800s.

[Qcumber]

Perhaps because Hebrew was a dead language by then, and reserved for Jewish liturgy. The Jews spoke Aramaic, and educated Jews also used Greek.

[xerosisonek]

True. Yet not only educated Jews used Greek, because Alexander's conquests made Greek the lingua franca of the Western world. The only Scriptures that the people of Jesus' day (including the disciples) read were the Septuagint (LXX), the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. Koine Greek was the language of commerce and day to day interactions between the mingled cultures.

[Qcumber]

Very interesting.

I even think there is even passage in the Gospels about the ways of the Lord that seems to be a quotation from one of Echyles' plays.

[xerosisonek]

Where is that? In Acts 17:28, Paul quotes Epimenides of Crete and Aratus of Cilicia, two Greek poets. This was in Athens @ the Areopagus (Mars Hill), the gathering place of philosophers since B4 the time of Socrates. Paul, being well versed in Greek literature as well as the Hebrew Scriptures, was the ideal choice as an emissary to the Greeks. Yet Paul himself did not rely upon blinding the Greeks w/ science (philosophical postulations), rather he demonstrated the power of God by healing & love.

[Qcumber]

Sorry I don't have this information at hand. Many years ago, reading Echyles' plays in translation I came across a short passage about the ways of the gods, and it sounded very much from a passage from the Gospel. I naturally took the latter as a classical quotation. If I retrieve the passages in question I'll let you know.

[xerosisonek]

Thanks. I've never heard of Echyles, though I am familiar w/ portions of Agamemnon by Aeschylus from my childhood. Is this the same playwright w a different spelling?

[Qcumber]

Sorry. I have retrieved the passage I was alluding to: Aeschylus, _The Suppliants_ , in section 85-110. I can't give you more detail, but I suppose it will be easy for you to find the exact passage in the language(s) you can read.

[xerosisonek]

Thanks for going to all that trouble. I really appreciate it. I will check it out. My Greek's only on the New Testament level, but I will see if there is an online English translation. Thanks again. May all your most pleasant dreams be fulfilled in this life.

[Qcumber]

You are welcome.
