I am afraid not.

But just a note... the Aramaic of Jesus was not the Syriac Aramaic that is propagated by "Aramaic only" movement. Also the Peshitta is written in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic, not in the Jesus' one.


You probably know this, just be beware :)

Hello Trofimus,
Thank you for your kind reply which also consist of very important information! Ouch! I did not know that! I thought it was Aramaic only that spoken by Jesus. Umm so what kind of Aramaic that Jesus did really speak during His time here? :)
Would be happy to know further from you!

Cheers!

Hi :)

Jewish Palestinian Aramaic - probably the Galilean dialect (different from the one spoken in Jerusalem).
