John 20:26 mentions both Aramaic words lgaw 'in, within' and b'amSa??t,a` which means 'among' or 'in the midst'.
This is just a hint. I'm no aramaic reader.
ps: According to mr. Bauscher it should be translated as "The kingdom is within some of you."
I have something to say about this.
If people are going to say that Yeishua didn't mean all of them, just some of them.
Then it's my humble opinion that you have to apply that same principle when Yeishua is talking about them being hypocrites, and other such passages, to translate them in general terms, not absolute.
Especially Matthew 23:3, "Everything, therefore, which they tell you to observe, observe and do; but after [some of] their practices do not act; for [some of] them say, and do not."
If you get what I mean.
