note this example is of multiple inheritance, but also brings up the agape/phileo issue, which I will discuss later in the "Doctrinal insights from the peshitta Suggest Peshitta Primacy part 1" article.

For now, let us just look at the multiple inheritance in these verses, and how the Greek diluted this message:

The Greek word is probavtion (true) Probaton (transliterated)

and usully means sheep or goat, or other small tame, four footed dometic animals. Note not only is the Aramaic much more specific in mentioning sheep, it takes away possibibilty of having "lambs, sheep, goats" (goats are usually used for "Satan's children") and also implies "children, men, women"
