When I look at five Greek New testament versions at dukhrana.com
I noticed that all of them almost everywhere coincide.
My logic is: If they were translated by different authors from Peshitta then we would have
very different translations. E.g. Lamsa's and John W. Etheridge's translations are very different. And they must be different for a word usually has certain amount of synonyms in another language and different translator picks different synonym.
Looking as these Greek versions are almost identical, it looks to me
that they have one common single Greek New Testament source.
On the other side we have around 4,000 old Greek manuscripts and if some of them were translated by different authors from Peshitta they would be VERY different but it looks to me that they were copied from one single Greek source. I am not talking about corruptions but about the translation.
Now the issue is this single Greek source appeared as original or as translation.
When I read Peshitta and Greek then Peshitta looks to me way more logical then the Greek text. It tells me that Peshitta text looks more early than the Greek one.
