• It is to the Aramaic New Testament that we must look, therefore, if we want to find the earliest, original, and most authentic form of the New Testament text. That is what the external evidence suggests. But as we come to examine the Aramaic New Testament itself, and compare it with the Greek New Testament, that is when things get really exciting.
