Halfway through the 4 years required to get a Master's in Divinity we had choices to either go Hebrew or Classical Greek in translating for the Ordination Boards. I went Greek.
The texts today translated from the original Greek are dated by modern Greek language but it doesn't change the fact the NT was made in Classical Greek.
If you are interested in my studies concerning the New Testament I can translate the Original Greek language that gave rise to it. There is also the Latin Vulgate for the Catholic Church but the Latin was after the original Greek.
I see you have partiality to Aramaic but Aramaic is just a sliver of a sliver in the New Testament.
Tyndale is a modern translation ignoring the original texts. It tries to make Christians just like the Amplified Bible which is also inaccurate.
Respectfully telling you the truth about the New Testament,

No, I'm not interested.
I was pulling your leg - which you missed - because for a newbie you come across as an overbearing horses a$$.
I've been on this great forum for about two years now. I largely keep my mouth shut, contribute knowledge and treasure when I can, and have learned so much from the wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly people here. Their knowledge is free and deep; they do not need to try to impress or Bullsling the members.
They have made me feel welcome for a long time now. You're most welcome too, I'm sure. I advise you to ease up, stay awhile, listen and learn. There is no need for you to either blind us with your brilliance nor baffle us with your bull.
Regards,
Gunny John
PS. Just for the hell of it, I just happen to be an
Associate Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Languages. No one here gives a durn about that,
including me. Among other subjects, I teach the Hebrew TaNaCh and Christian NT at the Graduate level. But all of that is irrelevant here. J
