Do you understand English?

LOL. I suspect better than you understand Hebrew. But if by your question you were meaning to be rude, then might I suggest that you try again in Hebrew... or better yet, do it in Greek. Hellenistic "Jesus" might even overlook it if you did it in Greek!

And Jacob named the place Peniel, for [he said,] “I saw an angel face to face, and my soul was saved.”

From the Chumash the Lubavitchers use. No Rashi commentary either. Pretty self-explanatory.

As they say “Don’t mess with the Zohar.”

Do you understand English was a serious question since you only used part of the sentence I wrote. Anyone who does understand English knows what a parenthetical phrase is and knows “in Greek” is such a phrase set off by commas.

That means that I was quoting, in Greek, Jesus’ words no matter what language he actually used at the time.

Just as English translations quote his words, in English, no matter what language he was speaking at the time.

If I were attempting to be rude there would be no doubt as I would use some silliness like “LOL...LOL”
