Steve, I was talking to Dylan there, but, since you spoke up, I have some questions for you...tell us what published printed source text was used for the "P" text in the apparatus there? I assume you know the answer. <!-- s

And what text does your interpolations come from exactly?
Did you use that "P" text there, word for word, while converting its words into the dialect you think might have been used by Jesus and His Apostles in the 1st century, or are you just replacing the English text out from the Greek source text it used?
As for you knowing better because you have worked in the field, doesn't mean you can at all be certain that your opinions are correct, no, Steve, they remain mere assumptions.
There is no real evidence that Jesus and His Apostles spoke the dialect you think it was, and since the Aramaic words found in the 1st century Greek NT text and the 1st century Aramaic NT text agree nearly identical, there is no reason not to believe Jesus and His Apostles used the same words found written there.
Can you show us any NT manuscript that was ever written in the Aramaic dialect you say Jesus and His Apostles must have used?
Did God see fit to have the actual words they spoke written down anywhere by His People? And if so, why didn't He see fit to preserve them in His Holy Scriptures?
Rather, I see that we have them right here in The Aramaic Holy Scriptures, which match up with what is found in the Greek version, where they are sometimes left un-translated in the text.
Jesus said "my words will not pass away", but, it seems that you think they did pass away, and have not been preserved through all these centuries.
