This is What Jesus Sounded Like

In this video I speak in the reconstructed ancient dialect of Aramaic that Jesus spoke 2000 years ago. Aramaic a widespread lingua franca at the time among Jews, but the actual language that Jesus spoke was a rare variant called Galilean Aramaic (or Jewish Palestinian Aramaic). Scholars know very little about it, but thanks to Steve Caruso’s work at AramaicNT.org, I was able to speak to you in a conversation in the original dialect of Jesus!

Most of the information in this video comes from AramaicNT.org and Wikipedia.

I love that Jesus spoke with a country bumpkin accent, a real man of the people.

It’s funny how certain dialects had the same stereotypes tied to them that are tied to some dialects today.

[jasmadams]

It sounds like it's halfway between Hebrew and Arabic.

As someone whose native language is Neo-Aramaic, I cannot tell you how powerful a church mass that is delivered in Neo-Aramaic is. From the prayers to the hymns, to the priest reciting liturgy, it's amazing. It's a whole different world, to the point where I cannot listen to a mass in another language. It's just not the same.

It's incredibly rare to find someone share SO much information in so little time, while also making you laugh, AND teaching culture. Well done!

Jesus didn't only speak Aramaic. In all likelihood, he knew hebrew and greek as well. He was known to speak with gentiles, who spoke greek, and would have studied the old testament, which was written in hebrew. So when he was speaking with greeks in the new testament, the greek words written in either Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John may very well be the same words he spoke to those people.

Wo! I already like your videos, but to know that you are likely a christian and you have done research to learn how Jesus spoke, has just bumped up my respect level!
