Jesus spoke a version of Aramaic. The New Testament reports that the Apostle Paul spoke Hebrew and Greek. Was the New Testament, as inspired by God, originally written in Aramaic, Hebrew, or Greek? Was Syrian patriarch Shimun XXIII Eshai correct when he declared that the apostles passed the Peshitta to the church and that it "has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision"? Does the Peshitta or the Greek contain errors? Did Jesus speak the Syriac dialect? Does the New Testament use 'sacred names''? How many books of the New Testament were written to Greeks and/or Greek-speaking regions? Are the names Jesus, Lord, or Christ pagan? According to archeological evidence came, which came first for the New Testament Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic? What language was Rylans Papyrus P. 52 written in? Can we learn from the New Testament itself what language that it had to have been written in? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
