It means that the earliest NT was written in Aramaic, which means that 99% of the greek nitt-pickings in this forum are vacuous :D Are they in "Q"? Find me a curated copy of Q and I'll tell you! BTW: what language is your copy of Q written in? Aramaic?? Are they in material unique to Matth...

This mistranslation from the Aramaic (§ 1.3) shows up in 3 places in the KJV. KJV (Matthew 19:24): "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." KJV (Mark 10:25): "It is easier for a camel...

You misunderstood me : they're a good way to tell the Western translations apart. There is no Western line of curated texts: just ...

KJO's are, imo, a little coocoo in the coconut. Just earliest source material for me thank you. Cocoos you can pack off to the looney bin: KJOs are much more dangerous. They're insidious: they've taken over the bible publishing houses and the churches. I was at a bible study group of a large Americ...
