"Master YHWH" and "I AM"s in the Peshitta
#33
John 11:49-50 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john%2011%3A49-50&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
"You know nothing at all!
You're not considering that it is to your[a: Other mss read _to our_] advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish."

As of A.D. 175, Caiaphas included himself in talking about what was advantageous, and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 38:34
Ye know not anything,
nor consider that it is more advantageous for us that
one man should die instead of the people,
and not that the whole people perish.
John 11:49-50 (Younan)
"You do not know anything,
and you do not realize that
it is better for us that
one man should die for the sake of the nation,
than that all the nation should perish."

John 12:1 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+12%3A1&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus[a: Other mss read _Lazarus who died_] was, the one Jesus had raised from the dead.

For this passage, the Diatesseron has only 1 mention of Lazarus' death:

Diatesseron 39:4
?.and they came, not because of Jesus alone, but that they might look also on Lazarus, whom he raised from among the dead.

According to the original Aramaic of the Peshitta, the verse has only one mention of Lazarus dying:

John 12:1 (Younan)
Now before the six days of Petskha, Yeshua came to Beth-Aniya where Lazar was, he whom Yeshua had raised from the grave.

John 12:28 (HCSB)

Father, glorify Your name!"[a: Other mss read _Your Son_]

As of A.D. 175, the passage had "Your name," and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 40:12-13
Now is my soul troubled:
and what shall I say?
My Father, deliver me from this hour.
But for this cause came I unto this hour.
My Father, glorify thy name.

John 12:27-28 (Younan)
Now behold my soul is disturbed,
and what will I say?--
'Abbi [my Father], deliver me from this hour'?
Rather, because of this I have come for this hour!
Abba [Father], glorify your name."

===============================.
John 13:18 (HCSB)

The one who eats My bread[a:
Other mss read _eats bread with Me_]
has raised his heel against Me.

As of A.D. 175, the passage had "eats bread with Me," and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 44:28
He that eateth with me bread
lifted against me his heel.
John 13:18 (Younan)
'He who eats bread with me
has lifted his heel against me.'["lifted?.": idiom for 'has become my enemy']

========================.
John 13:26 (HCSB)

When He had dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.[a: Other mss read _Judas Iscariot, Simon's son_]

As of A.D. 175, the passage had "Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot," and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 45:4
And Jesus dipped bread, and gave to Judas,
the son of Simon Iscariot.
John 13:26 (Younan)
And Yeshua dipped the bread and gave (it) to Yehuda,
the son of Shimon Skaryota.

==========================.
John 13:32 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+13%3A32&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
If God is glorified in Him,[a: Other mss omit _If God is glorified in Him_]
God will also glorify Him in Himself
and will glorify Him at once.

As of A.D. 175, the passage had "If God is glorified in him," and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 45:11
and if God is glorified in him,
God also will glorify him in him,
and straightway will glorify him.

John 13:32 (Younan)
And if Allaha is glorified in him,
Allaha will also glorify him in Himself,
and will immediately glorify him.

==========================.
John 14:7 (HCSB)

"If you know Me,
you will also know[a: Other mss read
_If you had known Me, you would have known_] My Father.
From now on you do know Him
and have seen Him.?

As of A.D. 175, the passage had "if you had known Me, you would have known my Father," and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 45:35
And if ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father:
and from henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him.

John 14:7 (Younan)
If only you would have known me,
you would have also known Abbi.
And from now (on) you know Him
and you have seen Him."

======================.
John 14:11 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+14%3A11&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
Believe Me that I am in the Father
and the Father is in Me.
Otherwise, believe[a: Other mss read _believe Me_] because of the works themselves.

For this passage, Tatian didn't include "believe me" at all, which strongly but not conclusively suggests that the phrase wasn't present at all in the original rendering of that verse-- not everything present to him he included in his consolidation of the 4 Gospels.

Diatesseron 45:39
Believe that I am in my Father,
and my Father in me:
or else believe for the sake of the deeds.

The phrase "believe me" isn't present in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

John 14:11 (Younan)
Believe that I (am) in Abbi
and Abbi (is) in me;
otherwise believe even because of the works.

=====================.
John 14:15 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+14%3A15&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
"If you love Me,
you will keep[a: Other mss read
_If you love Me, keep (as a command)] My commands.

The "you will" is absent from the Diatesseron. This strongly but not conclusively suggests that the phrase was absent in the original rendering of that verse-- not everything present to Tatian he included in his consolidation of the 4 Gospels.

Diatesseron 45:43
If ye love me,
keep my commandments.

The phrase "you will" isn't present in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

John 14:15 (Younan)
If you love me,
keep my commandments.

======================.
John 16:4 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+16%3A4&version=ESV;HCSB;MOUNCE;DLNT">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... OUNCE;DLNT</a><!-- m -->
But I have told you these things so that
when their time[a: Other mss read _when the time_] comes
you may remember I told them to you.

A possessive pronoun preceded the word "time" as of A.D. 175, and this situation is in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Diatesseron 46:47
I have said that unto you, so that
when its time is come,
ye may remember it,
that I told you.

John 16:4 (Younan)
I have spoken these things with you that
when their time comes,
you might know them
that I have told you.
