Jesus did not speak Greek. Check the Aramaic.

“Jesus did not speak Greek. Check the Aramaic.”

It sounds as if your view of Christ’s divinity doesn’t include omniscience... Or omnipotence. I suggest you take a moment to reflect...

You probably don’t realize that in saying the above, your argument is that the scripture is flawed and Jesus’ words were mistranslated by Matthew.

Sure that’s what you want to say?

The Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament to be written in Greek. He did NOT inspire it to be written in Aramaic.

Suppose Jesus DID speak Aramaic. The petros-petra distinction is clearly an attempt to express some similar wordplay in the original language. It would be a very incompetent/dishonest translator who introduces a play on words where there was none in the original language.
