You are the one “interpreting,” for sure! All that you offer is of whole cloth.

If you understand that the NT was 100% Hebrew, and that Hebrew cannot be translated to Greek without losing the cultural meaning of the discussion, then you can see the Torah/Tanach parallels, and the catholic nonsense just evaporates.

The Aramaic NT, which is a full generation older than the Greek, will help you with some of this. It’s unfortunate that so few have studied the NT from its Semitic roots.

No interpretation, just a listing of what the Bible says.

What utter nonsense! While there are indications that Matthew was written in Hebrew/Aramaic, the rest of the New Testament was written in Greek. Paul was writing to Greek speaking Gentiles. Mark and Luke were not even Jews.
