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

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

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.

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.

Paul was writing to Hebrew and Aramaic speaking Northern Israelites dispersed along the northern shore of the Mediterranean.

That is who Yeshua sent his disciples to, by his own words.

Paul had limited Greek fluency, as shown by the Centurian asking him (in Acts) “can you speak Greek?”

The NT was in Hebrew primarily and soon later in Aramaic, but probably a century before any sizable part was available in Greek. The Greeks were really not that interested.
