I would have eliminated many more conjunctions (“but”, “and”, “for”, etc.) which occur in large numbers in Aramaic, as well as changed sentence word order much more often than I have done, to make for better English syntax. I have not crafted the English to be an English literary masterpiece. As such, this is a very literal translation which is true to the original AramaicNew Testament text (1905 Syriac Peshitta Edition) and Aramaic idioms, as well as being a clear and readable English translation. This prose translation is taken from the author’s The Aramaic-English Interlinear Translation of The New Testament (a very literal translation with the Aramaic words side by side with their English translations in parentheses in the same word order as the Aramaic, which reads right to left). The Church of The East has always held to this text as the original writing of the Apostles, preserved with word for word accuracy by its Scribes for nearly two thousand years with meticulous care and reverence. The Peshitta New Testament is the only complete Aramaic New Testament known today which is held by a significant Christian denomination to be the original text written by the Apostles. Aramaic was the language of Jesus of Nazareth (“Yeshua Netsari” in Aramaic) and of his twelve disciples. This translation of The New Testament is different from most New Testament translations in that most are translated from Greek or Latin, whereas this is from Aramaic. Introduction This volume is a translation of what this author believes to be the original Aramaic Gospels as first written by The Apostles and Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. 115 The Gospel according to The Apostle John. 3 The Gospel According to The Apostle Matthew.
