Mar Aphrahat and Yukhanan 10:27 - Paul Younan - 10-05-2003 Shlama Akhi Yuri, Looky, looky! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Here is a quote from Mar Aphrahat's Demonstrations on Faith: [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0n0 rm0d Mdmd Yhwdymltl ryg rm0 0ryhnb Jwtn0 Yhwrm0 0kw4xb Jwkl[/font] This is translated "For he said to his disciples: whatever I tell you in the darkness, proclaim in the light (Nahira)." Now. let's looky-looky at how the Peshitta and Old Scratch read here: Yukhanan 10:27: Peshitta: [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0ryhnb Jwtn0 Yhwrm0 0kw4xb Jwkl 0n0 rm0d Mdm [/font] "Whatever I tell you in the darkness, proclaim in the light (Nahira)." Old Scratch: [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0rhwnb Jwtn0 Yhwrm0 0kw4xb Jwkl 0nrm0d Mdm [/font] "Whatever I tell you in the darkness, proclaim in the light (Nuhra)." See Akhi Yuri, the quote given by Mar Aphrahat not only matches the Peshitta 100% - but I've also demonstrated that there are two major differences between the quotation given by Mar Aphrahat and the Old Scratch:
What Akhi? Does this mean that Mar Aphrahat was quoting from the Peshitta, paraphrasing - or quoting from a long-lost "Old Syriac Diatesseron?" He certainly wasn't quoting Old Scratch! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> |
