- I have uploaded a private camera version of this lecture before but this one is better quality and includes more, even though the lighting is dark right at first. I am "resurrecting" some of these older lectures because they not only capture the times--but also cover materials that I have not touched upon in many years. This one was done in 2006. All the handouts and references are now found at jamestabor.com. Just do a search for "Hebrew Matthew."
Note: Since this lecture was given much more research has been done on Howard's work, which depended on only a few copies of the text of Rabbi Ibn Shaprut (for whom a street is named in Jerusalem). Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson have consulted all extant copies or manuscripts and have offered an ongoing highly detailed study on CZcams that I highly recommend--see • Hebrew Gospel Pearls #...

I, too, look for your videos several times a day, because I’m afraid I’ll miss one! Thank you so very much Dr. Tabor, for taking your valuable time to share these with us.
I lost my beautiful daughter 7 years ago to ovarian cancer. I begged God to save her, but it wasn’t to be. I completely lost my faith. Through your scholarship on the first century Christians, I have hope for the first time in a long time. Through you, I’m studying James. And trying to heal. Thank you, Dr. Tabor.
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter; I'm glad to hear about your restored faith; I'm sure she is, too.
Shalom K.
Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
I pray that we will greet your daughter in Heaven with Exceeding Great Joy Forever, and that You are Healed...
In like manner; I pray that the difference between the deception of the beast and Truth of the Inspired Word of Yah will be revealed to You.
When Heavenly Father commanded Adam and Eve to go forth and Replenish the earth. So maybe we made mistakes in our past. For sure we know this is our last chance to find Messiah and obey Him.
It seems like gender confusion might play a big part of the holy cool aids.
Unfortunately the deception is way deeper than you realize.
The Word of God is not the romans/greek books. The Word of God, not spaul.
When you say “God said” then you recite spaul; you are calling spaul god.
About 90 percent of revelations Quotes or references The Old Testament. I noticed that the roman author of revelations copies much from The Old Testament to completely contradict it…
Hebrews were inspired By Heavenly Father, romans were inspired by demons. The Covenant Father made with man is with Abrahams' seed, rome makes covenant with hell... The Holy City is Jerusalem, rome is a den of snakes... Children of Messiah are Jews, Messiah is a Jew... Children of wickedness will burn forever, there will we wailing and gnashing of teeth..
This is the Truth given in these last days.. Revelations contradicts the detailed vision of Heaven, given in Ezechiel. rev. 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. We are victims of a roman hijacking of Our Messiahs' Message?
Is that why the Churches look more like a circus than synagogues?
Don't be a Sucker!!! Find out how to turn "the tide" on the lefty depopulations.
Read ebook "A Labyrinth In Time" by YT Rhyms.
Spaul was a syco!!! He hated women, and the commandments. He killed many Christians, yet he never took a collection for the victims families he killed. No remorse. No justice.
Which of the commandments are you freed from? You shall not covert your neighbors ... You shall not kill? You shall not steal? You're Save by The Blood of Messiah!!! not spauls gospel.
How silly is the sissy spaul? A bragging roman/pharisee killer of innocence? How pompus it is to think, that Jews didn't know how to read and write?
They have no idles, YHVH is found in His Word. What kind of disciple doesn't take notes? "Matthew" was written in Hebrew by Mary, and the disciples. Some of the events were only witnessed by them. Daniel 7 says that the beast (rome) would be given power (the roman cannon) over the saints.
When did this happen? When they crucified and killed Messiah and the disciples. Sometimes the simplest explanation is True. The Hebrews wrote in Hebrew, the romans wrote in greek. Hebrews were inspired By Heavenly Father, romans were inspired by demons. The Covenant Father made with man is with Abrahams' seed, rome makes covenant hell... The Holy City is Jerusalem, rome is a den of snakes... Children of Messiah are Jews, Messiah is a Jew... sons of rome are pagans...
The so-called modern scholars, like to say Mark was written first. Because it is the least flattering. Under this assumption the least accurate or degraded document would be called first/original.
No Mark was written by a roman stooge, copying from “Matthew” in roman; to destroy the message of The Messiah? In Matthew and Luke the genealogies are a contradiction. Matthew said the woman held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. Luke says that Jesus said, don't touch me for I have not yet ascended to My Father.
Spaul contradicts all the other 40 Inspired Books including “Matthew”. Old Testament so called "contradictions" or copy errors are few and can be easily explained with proper translation. In the "New Testament", there are many irreconcilable differences.
Because only Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. "Matthew" was written anomalously/untitled. It is “The Testament of Messiah” the last Inspired book. The roman/greek books that fallow are roman lies, propaganda and contradictions. Wake up brothers and sisters, Yah didn't start speaking greek after they killed His Only Begotten Son. Rome is the beast of Daniel 7 that was given power (the roman cannon) over the saints for a season. Jesus is coming soon. Heavenly Father Bless You...

Wow while reading the KJV after I had received The HOLY GHOST. GOD would point out words that were mistranslated Once while reading I heard JESUS say to me this is not MY WORD I was Not Greek I am Hebrew. Why would I put MY WORD in Greek I have been seeking a lost (Ancient) Hebrew translation to english
His name is Yahshua(Yah is salvation) He wasn't called "jes*s" in his lifetime on earth.. John 5:43
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”Exodus 23:13
“Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other Elohim (g*ds); do not let them be heard on your lips.
Nehemia Gordon wrote a good book about this called ‘The Hebrew Matthew’. I read it years ago and have always been surprised noone talked about this. Disclaimer: I write this comment when I am about to watch this video 😅
he got it from Roy Blizzard
You must be in the wrong group of believers. We discuss all the books Rome didn't want you to see and everything being dug up from antiquity.
I can't express how much I am learning from your videos. Thank you so much.
What a revolutionary idea: A Hebrew version might be more valid than the Roman occupiers' version... I agree it should be taken more seriously.
Not likely it's as ancient and original as Tabor wishes it to be. There is nothing within the text to preclude the likelihood it's a medieval rabbinic production for apologetic purposes.
I find the evidential weight meant to buttress the bulk of assertions made here based upon a peculiar, albeit, typical kind of intellectual naïvete.
The “Whore of Babylon“ had sole custody of most of the NT documents for over a millennium. Corruption in every form.
@@jamesbarlow6423 I agree though I don't think it is naivete on Tabor's part. He knows exactly what he's doing in his attempt to fabricate an "original Christianity".
There is no "Roman occupier's version". The canonical gospels were not written by "occupiers".
@@jamesbarlow6423 - You speak with almost no historical support.
I'm enjoying this lecture series Dr. Tabor. Thanks for posting it. I'm inclined to agree with you on most of this stuff even if it's not the consensus view. Thank you
How wonderful is our creator my fathers name was George Howard, and here I was asking Yah for clarification on certain matters and here I am directed to your video, may the blessings of Yah rain down on you and your household. Shalom.
Shabbat Shalom Akhi.
The pirate speaks!
I really enjoy your teaching. You make things more clear.
Thank you for these, Dr. Tabor.
The Trinitarian insert in Matt 28:19 echoes that of I John 5:7, showing that men have sought to impose the pagan Trinity onto the true religion. Tellingly, on the day of Pentecost, only 10 days after Christ spoke the final words in Matthew, Peter stood up and exhorted people to be baptised "in the name of Jesus Christ", not the Trinity. Had he already forgotten Christ's words only ten days later? If the holy spirit was a separate being, Christ would be the son of the holy spirit, not the son of the Father, as it states that Mary was impregnated by the holy spirit.
Dr Tabor I watch every sngle video you post every day I get so excited when I see the notifications 😍 thank you for all your years of hard work 🙏

Salvation comes by grace through faith proved by fruit or works.
Paul was not an apostle, and Jesus did not preach salvation by grace.
Thank You Dr Tabor I love how you explain from a Jewish perspective too many Bible Scholars don't I just subscribed and look forward to more uploads
The Gospel of Jesus was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them.
@@termination9353 what are your sources for all the above statements 🤔
@@KSKoshy John 21:24 "This is the disciple[whom Jesus loved/ Lazarus] which testifieth of these things, AND WROTE THESE THINGS: and we[Apostles] know that his testimony is true."

Now Jesus LOVED Martha, and her sister, and LAZARUS
John 11:3
Therefore his sisters sent unto him{Jesus], saying, Lord, behold, HE[Lazarus] WHOM THOU LOVEST is sick..
John11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he[Jesus] LOVED him[Lazarus]!
@@termination9353 thanks very much, heard something like this before, now you have just confirmed it. But what is this about the Templars, I didn't know that they defied the Pope. Where is that from? Thanks in advance for your help and reply.
@@KSKoshy Your welcome. All you have to do is read up a bit on the famous Friday The Thriteenth. The Church accused the Nights Templar of satanism and witchcraft and raided murdered them all while desperately attempting to search out for something. And one has to wonder how it was that a poor Knights Templar comes back from a failed invasion richer and more powerful than when they left - for only a little later this church group destroyed out of existence in a mass murder.
Very good! Thanks...Dr. Jimmy!😊
Which BBC production did you mean at TC 07:20 ?
Awesome, is there a way to access the Hebrew text online?
i couldn't tell you where, you'd have to search, because i've lost my bookmarks--but i've come across more than one site where it's available and downloaded a pdf at one time too... so it's out there
It seems strange to claim that this was not translated from the Greek, given that it is often claimed that the Greek version could not have been translated from Hebrew, and this claims to be the same book. Perhaps these are different versions of "translated" than I would use. If you're saying it would have to be a rewrite but keep the same themes and details in the same order, I would call that a translation. It's like a word-for-word versus phrase-for-phrase translation of the bible into English.
It would appear that the most useful function this text could serve, except perhaps to a believer who might perhaps find this version to be more authentic (which is a faith call and not something I see we could determine objectively), would be to help benchmark how the Greek text has changed over time. Manuscripts that were more popular were copied more frequently and changed more frequently as a result, either by cumulative error or by purposeful nudging of the texts. As this would have been a less popular version, it would have been copied less often and by different parties than the Greek version.
It would be very hard to place this work even as a contemporary of the canonical gospels, let alone preceding any of them. Being a slight drift from the Codex Sinaiticus could still place it in a very wide year range, as a contemporary would be 4th century and the slight drift might be over hundreds of years.
It contains Hebrewisms which aren't present in Greek, that is why they believe it is from Hebrew. Hebrewisms are throughout your scriptures and even the Messiah's naming, name him Y'shua because yoshia, same with eve, name her Chayah because she is the mother of all chia. A lot of the names in the scriptures doesn't make sense to many because they are Hebrewisms that only make sense in Hebrew.
Is this a part of a class you give? Im going to look up more of your videos.

Dr. Tabor
I find it rather unique that your last name is the same as the mountain. How did your family get you last name?
Some scholars have argued that the Gospel of Matthew is full of Hebraic literary forms, indicating it was originally written in Hebrew. For example, Matthew 13 and the explanation by Jesus to the apostles of the Parable of the Sower is an example of Chiasmus, in which a series of concepts and words are repeated in reverse order to complete the statement, a characteristic Hebrew literary form. The English translation obscures other examples of chiasmus that appear in the Greek, and show the original was written in Hebrew.
Chiasmus is Greek. The Homeric epics are full of it.
@@michaelmcguire2121 The Old Testament is stuffed to the gills with this structure. The entire Pentateuch is basically one giant chiasm. And the entire Hebrew writing style is based on parallelism. You can barely get through a page of the Old Testament without being confronted with this writing style.
Would it not be natural for Matthew to write his notes in Hebrew since he was a Jew? Because they were able to speak other languages at the Upper Room when the Holy Spirit came, does it mean Matthew wanted to show the new language that he received from the Holy Spirit?
Hello Dr. Tabor. Can you do the same talk for The Hebrew Gospel of John from Sepharad, as contained in the Vatican Ebr. 100 manuscripts
Glad to see someone else to talking about this.
My question is re: William Blake vs Carl Jung. Which of those two was the bigger lunatick?
In this video, you mention your intention to translate the New Testament. Are you still working on this? Is this the Original Bible Project?
Very well out together and delivered, huge thanks for all invaluable information.
Is there way to get a copy of hand out being referenced in this talk, please? Appreciate if someone can email me copy, please.
Thanks
The link to the document is in the video description.
Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge.
Was the Masoretic text primarily reverse-engineered from the Septuigint?
Hello Dr. Tabor...there is a Shem Tov version of Matthew that brings in chapter 1:16 Joseph as Mary's FATHER. I would like your opinion on this matter. Thanks.
Father is the correct translation do the math 14 generations if it's husband it's 13 generations big CONTRADICT. The apostles were jewish men spoke Hebrew these Hebrew manuscripts are found E.g.Greek Matt swear not at all. Hebrew Matt swear not at all Falsely.see BIG problem in the Greek. When Yeshua appeared Paul He spoke to him in Hebrew. Greek is a language of Pagans. Hebrew is original language the CREATOR spoke. He change not.
My Jesus is the Way the Truth and life everlasting he’s the anointed Son of God … who came down to redeem mankind into his kingdom… true salvation comes only through faith in Christ
So no interest in critical biblical scholarship that question any of your assumptions?
That is NOT what the OT says nor what Jesus said. You are to worship YHWH and HIM ONLY shall you serve. Matthew 4:10.
"Put not your trust in Princes nor a SON OF MAN in whom there is NO SALVATION" Psalm 146:3.
"I even I am YHWH besides ME there is NO SAVIOR" Isaiah 43;11.
"There is NO OTHER but YHWH. Isaiah 45:5-7.
People got deceived and believed the lie created by the Catholic church just like we were warned. The Virgin daughter of Zion that travails in childbirth with her firstborn was not a woman named Mary. And her firstborn was not a man named Jesus. It's was all defined in the OT. The gospels were originally written as spiritual allegory later literalized by Rome.
The only miracle birth in the scriptures is the NEW birth when the we are born of the Fathers spirit. It was a spiritual story that unfortunately got edited and literalized.
"To WHOMEVER overcomes he will inherit ALL THINGS. I will be his God and he will be MY SON". Revelation 21:7.
The SON is not one person just as the virgin bride is not one person.
I have read that the Masoretic text was "developed" during the middle ages between about 600 and 1000 AD. What were the original sources for that text? Were there ancient Hebrew texts that were intact? Was there oral preservation of lost Hebrew Texts? Did the producers of the Masoretic text refer to the septuagint? I think this is important because Hebrew scholars consider the Septuagint to have some major corruptions, but what are they comparing it too?
Excellent questions!!! Dr Tabor can you answer those questions, please?
Not only that. The Dead Sea scrolls agree way more with the Septuagint than with the Masoretes
It's also of note that the Septuagint seems to have been used by even Jesus.
For instance, in Luke 4:18, Jesus quotes from Isaiah 61:1 (though with phrases in a different order), but his quotation matches the Septuagint and is inconsistent with the Masoretic text.
He says that he was anointed to, among other things, bring "recovery of sight to the blind". That is not found in the Masoretic version of Isaiah and is in the Septuagint.
@@slycordinator, Yes, Septuagint of the Old Testament. The New Testament was not written yet during the time of Jesus. The NT was written after Jesus was no longer on earth.
Interesting! However, how do we know the Hebrew version predates the Greek we have? Did I miss something?
You did not; NT was written in Greek first..
In the case of the Gospel of Matthew, there's an ancient tradition that some early version of it (likely not a full account of Jesus' life but merely a record of his teachings) did exist in Hebrew first. For the rest of the NT I don't believe there is any such tradition.
Matthew was a Jew. Was he proficient in Greek to write his notes in Greek? I would believed he wrote it in Hebrew.
@@teresatanyag8237Nearly everyone in Palestine in those days was proficient in Greek. You had to be, in order to get around in the world. As a tax collector, Matthew would've absolutely been familiar with multiple languages.
we don't know that. It's just a possibility that a hebrew text predated a greek one
Dear Dr Tabor. I am hungry to learn the truth about the Bible. I listened Dr Rocco talk about the New testament in Aramaic. I believe that the Old testament and New testament was written with the culture of the people in Israel 🇦🇷 mind not in Greek culture mind. Hebrew and Galileans Aramaic language r similar isn't it? I am learning the Our Lord prayer in Aramaic and when I listen the Hebrew it is quite similar. It's like Portuguese and Spanish language. My question for you is; what Bible shall buy it? Thank you in advance ❤️!
Dr. Nehemia Gordon wrote the book. My brain turned over when I first heard him teach on this and getting his book.
George Howard also wrote a book about the IbnShaprut Hebrew Matthew, but it went through his gentile brain filter.
Just like the English New Testament went thru pagan Romans filters. 😮
Folks over at "Jerusalem Perspective" say that this Hebrew version is more likely a translation from Arabic, Italian or Spanish (they don't seem to know). That doesn't mean it is without value though. Where did those versions come from? Earlier texts of some form - and what did they have?
Look up Hebrew Gospels and look for Hebrew New Testament Manuscript Update 2022 Refuting Objections. The arguments put forth I think are good enough to deem authentic, mainly understood that it is not derived from the Greek, Aramaic, or Latin.
The document is Vatican Ebr. 100.
Excellent analysis
What is the name of the book he mentions?
Iranianus of Lyon
Was originally from Asia Minor
and a student of Polycarp the Angel of Smyrna and Martyr an associate of John
Hardly distant. He was the strongest proponent of the four gospels
Irenaeus. And here you see an example of the subtle little manipulations by Tabor. Irenaeus knew what he was talking about.

Your point of the Hebrew Matthew not stating certain phrases like " go into the world" can be said for the Book of Acts that just says Baptize in the name of Jesus in Acts 2; but leaves out the Father and Holy Spirit as Yeshua Hamashiach states in the Gospel. So I am not sure that missing phrases make something less
I ordered the book on Amazon, paperback as it’s a little more affordable, but woud love to hear and learn more about any manuscripts of a Hebrew Matthew we might have found and their validly and differences with Greek translations. Thank you so much. שלום
Carob trees have sweet edible pods also known as locust beans, native to the area. Could John have eaten these?
If you're a Jew or Israeli you know Mathew was a Levite that means he was knowledgeable from birth in The Torah books of Moses working as a Toll Booth collection agency collecting toll fees from traveling through the Roman borders.he was Hebrew and he spoke Hebrew wrote Hebrew taught Hebrew.
the locus bean is very common in the Jordan valley.
I've been saying that all gospels and the New Covenant epistols were written in Hebrew.
The language, the expressions say the same.
Doesn't "locust" refer to th locust bean? That grows all over Palestine, and would also be a vegetarian dish.
Have you seen Nehemiah Gordon’s Hebrew Gospel Pearls? He has found around 27 early Hebrew manuscripts of Shem Tov’s Hebrew Matthew.
Read notes to this video...posted above...
@@JamesTaborVideos ha! The one time I don’t read the notes:)
They are not early
Twenty-two translations of "Ha-Shem" in Shem Tov Hebrew Gospel of Matthew Extant manuscripts [ edit] 28 manuscripts containing the Gospel of Matthew of Shem Tob are known to have survived until the present time. These manuscripts are dated between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. Thats late
Where can we find the oldest manuscript of Hebrew Matthew ?
Textual criticism is okay as long as it does not fall into the hands of those "scholars" who use it to push the heresy that denies the Deity of Jesus Christ.
So, Dr. Tabor, do you agree with other people that the Mount of Transfiguration is Mount Hermon, or could it be some other mountain closer to Capernaum , such as Mount Arbel? Because I have an idea that I never heard anyone else ever even suggest, and that is because of its close proximity to the town of Capernaum, since that was basically where Yeshua set up His headquarters, next to Peter's family house. Is Arbel completely out of the question? It's fairly high, and it's so close to Capernaum that I can't imagine that it is so far out of the way that they could have taken a walk up there within the day, easily.
David Bentley Hart writes how the Greek word 'eon' was slotted into the Gospels, and so when Jesus, in Matthew, talks about punishment he didn't mean what the Greek translator applied. So this wrong translation is how the concept of forever crept into Christianity which led to the ideas of being banned to Gahanna lasting forever and hell being forever.. Hart argues that Semitic languages don't have this word and concept. So the question I'm asking is, if the Hebrew Matthew genuine where Jesus talks about punishment in Gahanna how is it worded? I hope Professor Tabor or someone knowledgeable reads this!
Perhaps the "honey cake" was made from something similar to oats, which the Scots carried in their sporran and could eat as was or with a bit of water made an small "cake". I don't know what is in the desert but it seems feasible.
Please, what are you talking abt whn you say “in Q?” (Or “in queue”?)
Q stands for "Quelle," the German word for source. Look it up.
@@BenM61 thank you
I hope you do a video on John Allegro.
This entire presentation and research rests upon the premise that the ancient writers cared about the same things scholars care for today, that is preserving the form of a text for the sake of the text. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it turned out that Matthew wrote his Hebrew Gospel not mentioning the great commission to the gentiles at all but only keeping it to the Jews so the Jews wouldn't claim this was a message specifically for the Gentiles, to which they still claimed a pervasive separation at the time. And then the same Matthew would include the great commission to the gentiles in his Greek version, because of the different audience. Same author, same Gospel, just tailored to distinct targets.
And I'm perfectly content to concede that some 4th century Church fathers changed the baptismal formula from Jesus to the Holy Trinity to give equal honor to all Persons of the Godhead so none would be left out. That's how people thought at the time. They saw that amendment as perfect justification since it was based in the rest of their theology which in their opinion was also coming from the same Jesus. So they must have thought why bother adding side notes to the text when you can literally edit the original sayings of Jesus to make it sound even more like Jesus? Again, we're not dealing with modern day scholars. These were people on a mission. Yes it was wrong of them to do that from a scholarly point of view. But for them the Gospel was a practical means to an end. Bottom line is we don't need that trinitarian baptismal formula to acknowledge the Holy Trinity in the Bible, it can be fully derived from other places in the text.
I bet you the Gospel writers never thought scholars 2000 years into the future would see these differences as a stumbling stone, else I'm sure they would have kept the text in its original form to prevent schism and heresy.
I’m still counting the days until I can order your book on Mary.

Thanks for the study Brother. If you look closer at the Hebrew; when Messiah said of John "there is not greater born of Women" in Hebrew it Reads;
"There is none greater born of Wife/Wives". If Messiah was trying to say "my teacher is greater than I" that would be a lie, not a sign of false humility. There is no Lies in Him, no Lie in His Testament!!! Great job! I really enjoyed the teaching. Yah Bless You ❤...
37:58 in the Greek it says "Elijah indeed comes; and he will restore all things." It does not say fulfill, it says restore. Restoring is a manner of saving and thus Shem Tov's Hebrew Matthew is consistent with the Greek Matthew.
Just a thought before your manna presentation.... John is in the role of Elijah until Yeshuas baptism. This opening parallels Elijah in 1 Kings 17 at the river kebar. When Elijah was there his food was "bread AND meat" BUT it was brought to him by unclean birds. Detestable I would think to the levitical books.
Same with John the Baptists locusts. Also unclean. If he were eating manna there would be no parallel imo. Just something that may bear reflecting on. I have no idea how much it would Sway the conclusion as I've not exhausted this.
Great lecture by the way. Thoroughly enjoyed!
According to the Torah locusts are not unclean.
@@yisraelavraham4078 thanks for the reference. I had forgotten about the exception with jointed and hopping insects with wings. Thank you, again.
Do you have a perspective on the Elijah's food?
Is there an Old testament in Greek I heard there was, what's the name of it?
The Septuagint
this is similar to my Living Word Bible project! so awesome
James does not believe in the virgin birth or resurrection.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
🕊I FEEL JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS KNOWN TO BE GREAT. AS HE WAS THE ONLY ONE SPOKEN TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AT WOMB.
I only really study the Bible to chapter 4 (with a simple question),What more do you need
A book so (little) I fit it in a tweet once- all be it, I quoted my own tweet
Sweet as honey (honey will not rot), yet a bitterness that turns the world
God has One Law... The Law of Eden
... no false gods before God
Well, a group of Hebrews did still exists in Spain during the 4th century, they were called the Ibri’s of Iberia.
12:36 ff. Quite educational.
What do you think about the armamaric scriptures since inhabitants of Israel spoke Hebrew and Aramaric
If Jesus taught the proper interpretation and application of the Covenant Standards - which he did - who fulfilled Isaiah 42 to "Restore!" or the holy way of Isaiah 35, or that the Covenant Standards are for all humanity? Isaiah 1, 35, 42, 56? Psalm 2 and 22 and 110.
Brilliant scholar!
When you say q what do you mean?
Q stands for "Quelle," the German word for source. Look it up.
Hebrews 8:8. The covenant is with who? How can you be included? Only by conversion/adoption!!!
Acts 1:6, if I understood correctly, is cited in this video. In Acts 1:6 ff, Jesus implicitly agrees that the day will come when he will restore Israel in accordance with Jewish Messianic prophecy. It's just that that time frame would remain to be seen. It would not be easily answered with the answer "No, that will be in about forty years." Instead, Jesus says that all the peoples of all the earth would need to have the Gospel preached to them. The goal of preaching the Gospel to all the nations has the greater importance over questions about when the Messiah would come again and restore Israel. First, the Gospel must be preached to all nations, then later, Jesus would be seen in his remaining Messianic functions, which are those key things that the Jews are waiting for the Messiah to fulfill in accordance with the law and the prophets, and which Christians should also have in mind when we think about the future coming of Israel's Messiah (and indeed the Messiah of the whole earth).
Tried to "like" vid but u tube not allowing
It makes sense
Matthew was a Hebrew
Talking to Hebrews
Would have something written in Hebrew
I agree 100 percent. He is a Hebrew, Jew.. the idioms are Hebrew idioms.. not Greek idioms..
Why Insist on pointing to the preparer Of the Way as the One only The One who is Greater could do So
Bart Ehrman is dismissive of a Hebrew Matthew on his blog. I can't remember the reason however!
The transfiguration was on Mt Hermon, where the Sons of God came down from heaven.
I had your channel pop-up to me which I fund interesting....I became a Christian a while ago.... I understood of the two witnesses in the book of Revelation to be the LORD JESUS CHRIST and JOHN the Baptist...or am wrong.....thank you Sir.
We are not told who they are but could be Moses and Elijah.
Just as the core of the Scriptures are inspired by the one true God. YHWH who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the fountains of the deep. Jesus Christ ( Yahshua Messiah) said; Take heed that no one deceives you. For many false Messiah's and many false prophets will come. We must remember that we fight a spiritual battle and Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12 That we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities of wickedness. Revelation 12:9 The great dragon, the serpent of old, called the Devil, and Satan who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Clearly it states all of the world. Although there is one truth and that Every word of God is pure:He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. (Proverbs 30:5). We have to seek and have a spirit of discernment and request wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. All these attributes are given from the LORD. In the face of Jesus Christ ( Yahshua Messiah). In regard to the two witnesses, there are many theories, but l can say this, Jesus Christ is not referred to in the verses 11:3 of Revelation. If we note verse 7 When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. We would have to consider the time frame. Speaking of the bottomless pit is a clue. Verse 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord ( Yahshua) was crucified. This is speaking of the death and resurrection of the Messiah. And John writes in Revelation 1:18 of Yahshua; l am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, l am alive forevermore. Amen. And l have the keys to Hades and of Death. Upon studying these verses it is doubtful that it is Yahshua. There are themes that it could be Moses and Elijah. Let us have a mindset to search the scriptures with a pure heart and in truth. And pray for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Paul says in Romans 8: 13-14; For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ ( Yahshua Messiah). HalleluYah.
I think the two witnesses are not two individuals. There are other scriptures that give the answer i believe. Namely romans 11
Thanks
Papias, the early church leader, said he saw a Hebrew copy of the Gospel According to Matthew. The question is, was it Hebrew or Aramaic?
No, Papias never said that he SAW a copy. He said that Matthew first wrote down the "oracles of the Lord" in the "Hebrew dialect". Whether this was in the Hebrew language or the Aramaic (the common tongue at the time) or simply in a Hebrew style is a matter of debate.
I would believe that Matthew wrote his notes in Hebrew. He is a Jew. What good reason or reasons for him to write in Greek?
@@str.77yeah but Jerome claimed to have seen it and used it in his Vulgate
Irenaeus, around the year 180 CE, claimed that Papias was a companion of the disciple of Jesus, John the Son of Zebedee. But Eusebius, who actually read Papias’s book, claims that this is incorrect. Based on what Papias himself said, Eusebius points out that Papias was not a follower of any of the apostles. He got his information from others. In other words, Irenaeus was trying to make Papias out to be more of an authority than he was. That is very much the tendency in the early Christian tradition (and among conservative Christian scholars today), to claim direct connections with eyewitnesses where there weren’t any.
Interesting.
Irenaeus didn't claim "that Papias was a companion of John the Son of Zebedee" but his disciple, outliving John by decade.
What makes you think Irenaeus didn't read Papias's book?
What makes you think Eusebius - who had a huge theological axe to grind with both Papias and the Book of Revelation - knew better. He quotes Papias and no, Papias did not clearly say that he was not a follower of the apostles. It is a very difficult passage to interpret.
"In other words, Irenaeus was trying to make Papias out to be more of an authority than he was."
In other words, you choose to disbelieve Irenaeus, even to attribute to him dishonesty. But that's simply your choice.
Way too many crazy ads associated with this presentation. I had to just abandon it altogether.
from the Early Church Fathers he adduces as proof.
Matthew composed the words in the Hebrew dialect, and each translated as he was able. (Papias, 150-170 CE, quoted by Eusebius, Eccl. Hist. 3:39)
Matthew also issued a written gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect. (Ireneus, 170 CE, Against Heresies 3:1)
The first is written according to Matthew, the same that was once a tax collector, but afterwards an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah, who having published it for the Jewish believers, wrote it in Hebrew. (Origen circa 210 CE, quoted by Eusebius, Eccl. Hist. 6:25)
The epistle to the Hebrews he asserts was written by Paul, to the Hebrews, in the Hebrew tongue; but that it was carefully translated by Luke, and published among the Greeks. (Clement of Alexandria, Hypotyposes, referred to by Eusebius in Eccl. Hist.6:14:2)
He (Shaul) being a Hebrew wrote in Hebrew, that is, his own tongue and most fluently; while things which were eloquently written in Hebrew were more eloquently turned into Greek. (Jerome, 382 CE, 'Lives of Illustrious Men,' Book V)
Would love to hear you talk with Bible Scholar Nehemia Gordon PHD on this topic
What is our oldest Q manuscript ?
There is no such thing as a Q manuscript...
James, good video teaching. I find no evidence the mountain is Tzfat. If Tzfat is the "high" mountain... Then that same phrase should be used for mount of olives, mount Zion (western hill), ascending from Jericho to Jerusalem, Shechem (mount Gerazim) with Samaritan elders, etc... Mount of Olives is a higher elevation and prominence from base to tip than Tsfat. Most likely the high mountain is Mount Hermon which you brushed off. According to Mark and Matthew (the earlier gospels) all signs point to Mount Hermon... Carsaria Phillipi (Banias) is at the base of Hermon. According to Matthew and Mark... Jesus and disciples were outside Galilee only later to pass back through. Mount Hermon could rightly be called "mountains of Lebanon" region or "anti-Lebanon" region or "Aram Damascus/Syria" region or one of the many tetrarchy up north. Text is clear he was outside Galilee only to pass back through. It doesn't say they were headed south already as you claim. I understand you might want to skirt the context of the book of Enoch... But it's impossible to skirt Enoch in the new testament... Literally impossible. Context points to Enoch heavily in this passage as many have rightly pointed out. Gospel of Luke (the later gospel) gives almost no details of daid mountain or location... Only Bethsaida and sometime later a mountain and sometime later headed south to Samaria. Luke gives no geographic detail because anonymous author clearly doesn't know. Tzfat is an interesting town... But even in Josephus... Tzfat seems very insignificant. As far as I'm aware... Tzfat isn't mentioned in any Bible book, or Apocrypha, or Enoch, or Jubilees. Hermon is mentioned very prominently with Moses and the Pentateuch and Enoch. Hmm... Elohim Moses was supposedly on the mount in these passages.
isn't papias talking about the q source? isn't that what he means by Hebrew Mathew
It's possible that the Papias Matthew is the Q source ?
The Gospel of Jesus was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them.
I think lots of people sort of hope so. It would explain why it's called Matthew: being Matthew's sayings with Mark's narrative added, causing the loss of the original version without (much?) narrative, and why it's traditionally first. It also would work with Luke being later and using our Matthew (so maybe not technically being Q but being something with most of the properties of Q). Maybe it's a bit too neat of a theory?
That Papias quote is actually the only piece of evidence for such a thing as Q.
@@termination9353 There is no "one book by Lazarus".
If there is such a thing as "Q," then I tend to think that it is indeed likely Matthew's first attempt at writing down the teachings of Jesus. It would have been originally intended exclusively for Jews, thus written in the language of the Jews, and the church likely never used it very much outside of the early years in Jerusalem. At some point later on, Matthew would've combined his writing on Jesus' teachings with Mark's narrative of Jesus' life, and Luke would've used both.
I don't get your point on Jerome to that he do a not highly think about the Hebrew Matthew.... I'm not a proff or a dr but he does not make sense for Jerome to say that .. coz Jerome himself translated bible in from Hebrew
Such early references to Matthew might mean that the gospel bearing his name might have originated with him?
What about the Aramaic version
I like that in the sheep and goats division in Matthew 25, Jesus is seated on the throne before all the nations, which reads like being seated before all the Gentiles. Thus the story is about how the Gentiles will be surprised on the day of judgement, based on how they had treated the ones Jesus sent out to the nations. The sheep and goats story, then, serves as the link between when Jesus sent the apostles to the tribes of Israel, and when the great commission takes place. In the sheep and goats story is where Jesus is foretelling that the apostles will have gone to all the nations, and that the way they are received among the nations will be seen on judgement day as the way Jesus was received by those very same Gentiles. By the same token, the story shows Jesus as king and judge over all the earth, not just over Israel, and speaks of how before the end would come, many Gentiles would be found embracing the Jewish Messiah, not just Jews.
Matthew 26 53 gives you author and Messiah,nuff said.
I guess ignorance is bliss lol
Biblical Christian scholars have always believed the church fathers were preserving a tradition that is genuine, Mathew composed in hebrew. Furthermore i think the authorship of these books is without question also,(M,M,L,J) Thats a whole different discussion though if one chooses to know.
And a scholar has made a judgement here and a judgement there, I take it that these judgements are all of the male perspective ?
“Who was Jesus?: a Conspiracy in Jerusalem “, Kamal Salibi, 1988 has the lost gospel of Waraqah Ibn Nawfal @400 BCE in western Arabia about ‘Issa.’ Paul goes to western Arabia to get the special parchments-above?- to understand Peter and James ‘Jesus .’ The latter 3 also from Arabia.
What are you trying to say here?
“Peter and Paul preaching in Rome and laying down the foundation of the church?” Don’t remember reading in the Bible Peter was in Rome and the foundation of church was already laid by Christ.
Do you believe that jesus really instructed Peter and Paul to take his "reformed" or more direct version of Judaism to the gentile world?
@@kphilli5 offcourse until the year 300 after Christ it was a very judeo Christianity and for a very big part consisted out Jewish convert it was until the bishop of Alexandria and Constantin it started to change
@@kphilli5 you surely know the story of the Tower of Babel where Nimrod the great grandchild of Noah, wanted together with the other people make a name for him self, so he came up with the idea to build a tower to heaven, the word BabEl means Gate and God so a gate to God, a way to heaven by works, it was a political religious system, where people with there own work try to get in to heaven and god has no saying in it, where the religion tells you if you do good and do this an that you deserve to go in to Heaven and that is why God confused the languages so they stop building on that tower on that system that enslaves the people. But parts of that religion the people took with them and there is where all the great religions have there origin and they all have a system with salvation by work, and not by grace where God gives us freely as the Bible teaches, that’s why the teachings of Christ where so dangerous for the established rulers and religions because they controlled the people and they where from child on born in to that system, so with biblical Christianity spreading like wildfire from out the Middle East there system was shaking at the foundation, they where losing the control over the people, first they just try to destroy the first Christians, Nero even used them as torches, to light up the streets of Rome but the more they try to destroy them, the more people converted to Christianity, there satan came up with a new plan if you can not beat them join them and at the first ecumenical consul the pagan establishment decided to fuse with Christianity and a few years later the Roman emperor Constantine declared Christianity as the new state religion of Europe, so the wife or mom of Constantin travelled to Jerusalem to point out important pilgrim places and to collect relics of biblical character so they could spread them out over all the old pagan pilgrim locations in Europe so the people could continue to put there money there, she took for example enough wood of the cross of Christ you could build a complete ship out of it, they also took body parts back from so called biblical persons so they could put them in there churches and under there altars according the old pagan custom, they started to change the days, the sun worship day became the new sabbath, they introduced Christmas, Christ was now born at the saturnalia the new born sun, they introduced the Easter bunnies and many other pagan feasts, all the old statues of there pagan Gods became new names, the statue off Apollo became the name saint Peter, the statue of Venus and Diana holy Mary and so on and on.
But offcourse it has nothing to do anymore with biblical Christianity and the people who did not want to go along where off course highly persecuted.
I don't remember Björn van der Valk appearing in the Bible. Obviously, he never existed.
@@str.77 you read my other commentaries?
