Josephus provides almost all the historical information of first century Israel available today. He also testifies plainly that Greek was not the language of his Israeli countrymen (born AD 37 and died after AD 100) and that Greek was not spoken by the vast majority of Jews at that time. He wrote in Aramaic and translated his works into Greek later. Josephus addresses the language of the first century Israelites in his 1 st century volumes of Jewish history.
The most important reason is that the original Gospels (and Epistles as well) were written in Aramaic and later translated into Greek for Greek speaking Romans. Why should anyone be interested in such a translation? The answers are manifold and I cannot address them all here. This prose translation is taken from the author‟s The Aramaic-English Interlinear Translation of The New Testament (a very literal translation with the Aramaic words side by side with their English translations in parentheses in the same word order as the Aramaic, which reads right to left). The Church of The East has always held to this text as the original writing of the Apostles, preserved with word for word accuracy by its Scribes for nearly two thousand years with meticulous care and reverence. The Peshitta New Testament is the only complete Aramaic New Testament known today which is held by a significant Christian denomination to be the original text written by the Apostles. Aramaic was the language of Jesus of Nazareth (“Yeshua Netsari” in Aramaic) and of his twelve disciples. This translation of The New Testament is different from most New Testament translations in that most are translated from Greek or Latin, whereas this is from Aramaic. Introduction This volume is a translation of what this author believes to be the original Aramaic New Testament as first written by The Apostles and Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James and Jude.
