The Aramaic primacy details are pretty convincing to me over the Greek. But like I said before I think the Peshitta is at the least tampered with. It may contain better meaning by its own language than the Greek manuscripts but it still seems to contain the tampering. I have ordered and await the Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (George Howard) to look into it. I am at a great disadvantage to look over these texts when I know so little about Aramaic and Hebrew. But I know about the message fairly well and can still spot some things that just can't be so in some of the translations, with this subject verse being one of them. I wish to learn more about Aramaic but many of the sites that teach it seem to confuse me. As there is different letters of Aramaic so which letters (script) do I learn. It seems Estrangla seems to be the one to learn. My reason for learning Aramaic is really only for discernment of the earliest texts so I would like to learn whichever Aramaic would have been spoken of and written in the period and location of Jesus and by Him and His Apostles.
