“From Hebrew and Aramaic to Greek and English: How We Received the Words of Matthew 1”
from Jesus Christ Is the Only Way Podcast
Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.The statement “The 1611 KJV itself was not written directly in Greek”means that the KJV is an English translation, not the original Greek wording of Matthew. Matthew chapter 1 is preserved in Koine Greek, although it contains Hebrew names, Jewish history, and material rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures.Hebrew and Aramaic are related Semitic languages. Hebrew was especially associated with Israel’s Scriptures and Jewish religious tradition, while Aramaic was widely used as a spoken language in the time of Jesus. Both influenced the background of Matthew, but the canonical Greek text of Matthew is not the same thing as a Hebrew or Aramaic edition.Believer’s Voice on Jesus Christ Is the Only Way Podcast!
