Mattai 1:21 & Luqa 1:31 - who named the child?

Shlama Akhi Jerzy,

That is because v. 21 in Greek says Joseph (you shall call) would name The Christ Child, "Ihsous". The translators made their translation consistent with v.21.

I wish I could illustrate what happened in verse 23, where the Greek has 3 readings: "they shall call", "you shall call", "she shall call". They all look very similar in Dead Sea Scroll Aramaic script.
Perhaps Paul will oblige us, with his graphics import capability.
Otherwise, I could email the comparisons to you in a pdf file.
