Subject: The Aramaic Language: Spoken by Jesus |
Bible Note: The Aramaic Language: Spoken by Jesus ____________________ 'The people of first century Palestine, including Jesus, spoke the Aramaic language.' (http://www.twopaths.com/faq_kjv.htm) ____________________ [] 'Most scholars believe that Jesus probably primarily spoke Aramaic with some Hebrew and at least a limited grasp of Greek. Generally, scholars believe that the towns of Nazareth and Capernaum where Jesus lived were Aramaic-speaking communities, that he was knowledgeable enough in Hebrew to discuss the Hebrew Bible, and that he might have known some Greek through commerce as a carpenter in nearby Sepphoris. Accordingly, Jesus is believed to have addressed primarily Aramaic-speaking audiences.' ("Aramaic of Jesus." Wikipedia. Wikipedia, 2007. Answers.com 28 Jan. 2007. http://www.answers.com/topic/aramaic-of-jesus) [] 'By the beginning of the 7th cent. B.C., Aramaic had spread throughout the Fertile Crescent as a lingua franca (a medium of communication between peoples of different languages). Still later the Persians made Aramaic one of the official languages of their empire. 'After the Jews were defeated by the Babylonians in 586 B.C., they began to speak Aramaic instead of Hebrew, although they retained Hebrew as the sacred language of their religion. Although Aramaic was displaced officially in the Middle East by Greek after the coming of Alexander the Great, it held its own under Greek domination and subsequent Roman rule. Aramaic was also the language of Jesus.' ("Aramaic." The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Columbia University Press., 2003. Answers.com 28 Jan. 2007. http://www.answers.com/topic/aramaic) [] 'Aramaic is a group of Semitic languages with a 3,000-year history. It has been the language of administration of empires and the language of divine worship. It is the original language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud. Aramaic is believed to have been the native language of Jesus.'
