What was the language that Jesus (Peace and blessings upon him) spoke and where can I get an original BIBLE ?

Answer 1

I believe His native tongue was Aramaic (not 100% sure, though). Are you asking about a Bible in Aramaic? I don't think there is such a thing.

Answer 2

Reportedly, Jesus spoke Aramaic.
Unfortunately, there's no original manuscript for the Bible, because the Old and New Testaments were each compiled from different sources. The Bible didn't attain its more or less current form until the Roman emperor Constantine the Great offered to pay for copies of the Bible and Christians felt the need to decide which books would be in and which would be left out of the canon.

Answer 3

Try the Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text by George M. Lamsa. Available on Amazon.com

While there is no such thing as the ORIGINAL bible available, this is the English translation of the Aramaic Old and New Testaments - the language Jesus spoke - which clarifies difficult passages and offers fresh insight on the Bible's message. The author, whose mother-tongue is Aramaic, looked to Aramaic language manuscripts to create a more relevant translation which reflects the language of Jesus, his followers and the common people to whom He ministered, rather than the Greek language of the military and political leaders of His time who would in time crucify Him.

Answer 4

Jesus probably spoke more than one language... he most likely spoke Aramaic and Greek, possibly others... If by an original Bible you mean the copies of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts.. you may need to do an online search, they are available. The actual originals that were penned by the authors themselves, called the "autographs", no longer exist.

Answer 5

Aramaic, but I don't think you can get an original bible. There are old ones, some of the oldest would be in Greek or Hebrew.

Generally, there are two primary bibles used today: King James Version, for Protestants and the New Revised Standard Version, for Roman Catholics.

Others that you'd find out there would most likely be variations of the protestant King James version.

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

Most scholars agree that Jesus spoke Aramaic, and,. in fact, there are several places in the NT where Jesus's Aramaic words are untranslated. Most likely he also spoke and read Greek. He was also able to read the Hebrew scrolls in the synagogue as well.

Aramaic bibles can be found in theological or seminary libraries and I am sure you can purchase them online--just do a search for "Peshitta"

You can also access an interlinear Peshitta (Aramaic Bible) here http://www.peshitta.org/

Answer 7

Evidently Aramaic but much of the Bible was originally written in Greek and Hebrew. As I understand it, no present day country has Hebrew as their native language.

Answer 8

Jesus spoke Aramaic in everyday life but would've spoken Hebrew in the temples. the bible wasn't written down for centuries so Greek is probably the first actual "written" bible.

Answer 9

The population of the Roman province of Syria spoke Armenian, something Mel Gibson failed to comprehend for his movie. Jesus did not speak Latin or Greek but who knows? In my mind Pontius Pilate would have held office using Latin and would only grant audience to Roman citizens -- that was the law of Juleus Ceasar.

The Gnostic Bibles and the excluded books of the Bible prepared in 555 AD are readily available on the web and in bookstores. Look for the Gospel of St. Thomas.

Answer 10

Galilean Aramaic
