Translations Compared: Eastern or Western?

[Thirdwoe]

:

But, who told you that it was/is not the same as what is in The Eastern Aramaic New Testament?

It's clear that during the time that Matthew would have written, the Jews all spoke in the Aramaic langauge, often termed the "Hebrew languge" since all the Hebrews spoke and wrote in it for hundreds of years...

And in case you haven't heard. Saint Pantaenus, an early Church Missionary/Teacher in the latter part of 2nd century, says that he saw a copy of Matthew's Gospel in India, written "in Hebrew letters" which they were using when he was there among The Church...and there's still a copy of it today in India, in the very same Church. The Church of the East, which was established in India in the 1st century by The Apostle Thomas, which has a copy made from The Apostle Thomas' copy he brought them in the 1st century...and It's the Eastern Aramaic Peshitta. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

God's Holy Words, have not been lost or destroyed by man....He has preserved them all! In The Eastern Aramaic Scriptures.
