Original Literal Gospel of Matthew

This book provides the original literal Gospel of Matthew in the language spoken by the Messiah Yahshua (Jesus). It is the Holy Aramaic Scripture, as preserved in the ancient Eastern Aramaic text of The New Testament, via the ancient Khabouris Codex. Our translation into English was prepared and edited by various Aramaic language students and scholars. Utilizing consistent and confirmed dictionary definitions, we have endeavored to provide the most literal translation possible of the original Eastern Peshitta Aramaic text. To confirm Khabouris Codex accuracy, other manuscripts consulted include the Yonan Codex, the 1199 Houghton Codex, the Paris manuscript titled Syr. 342, manuscript 54 from St. Catherine's Monastery, and the Mingana 148 Codex. Inside you'll find: (a) the complete ancient Khabouris manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew in full color, (b) an exact transcription of each verse, and (c) the most literal translation available (in our opinion) of the exact original Eastern Aramaic text into the English language. Here is what's different or improved from the average Bible translation: (1) This translation ensures accuracy through hyper-literalism, especially around finite concepts such as 'age' and 'world' (rather than 'forever'), and 'any' (not always 'all') to clear up misconceptions and hypocrisies that were never in the original text, but were added later by well-intentioned, but non-literal translators; (2) The text has preserved unaltered original names, idioms, wordplays, and Aramaic sayings unique to Israel in the first century; and (3) The text has preserved unaltered the polysemy evidence where Greek and Latin translations are plainly traceable back to the original text in this book.
