• Aramaic was, therefore, the normal, everyday language spoken by Jesus and the disciples, and the language in which he preached to those who would hear him. And if Aramaic was good enough for Jesus, should it not also be good enough for us? If Jesus preached in Aramaic, should we not listen to his words in Aramaic? And if Jesus used Aramaic to reveal the parables, should we not make an effort to understand those parables in Aramaic?
• Let us then, come to the Aramaic New Testament with reverence and awe, and let our lives be blessed as we read the words of Jesus… in Aramaic.
