Bible Note: Kalos, Of course you probably understand that I completely disagree with you....see our discussions from a year ago. :-) I just can't let it slide... Jesus spoke Hebrew and all recent discoveries points to most Jews in Palestine speaking Hebrew as their common tongue. The Septuagint was not translated for Jews in Palestine but rather for a "Librarian" in Alexandria, where a large population of Jews lived. The Jews in the Diaspora used the Septuagint, and the Jews in Palestine use the Targum (Aramaic) for purposes of commentary or dynamic equivalent translation since the Hebrew copies could not contain ANY alteration to clear up changes in the language, or even footnotes/marginal notes. Jesus may have spoken Aramaic or Greek when the audience required it like during the Festivals or when in Greek areas. But among his disciples, Hebrew is a near certainty. See "Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus" for in depth argument. Or see my previous posts on the matter. MJH |
