Years ago, I found an old Bible (New Testament) in a barn.

It is an original 1856 or thereabouts “Translation of the New Testament” Syriac Peshito Version by James Murdock.

Basically, there are about 5 versions extant of the New Testament that are in Aramaic, the actual language he spoke.

It is more poetic and simpler than the KJ version or and others.

Kinda like the J6P bible!

Or you could learn Hebrew and read it as it was written in the language of their dreams.
