Bible Note: Greetings Djconklin! I was courious as to why you said: "BTW, there is no doubt that Jesus and John would not or could not have known koine Greek...." On what do you base this? The Koine period extended from 330 b.c. to 330 a.d. (Source - Dana and Mantey, A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament). Israel was under the rule of the Roman Empire. So, why would it be unlikely or impossible that Jesus and John would have known Koine Greek? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
