+## Aramaic Clarification Statements In NT
+
+http://www.peshitta.org/for/archive/index.php?thread-2572.html
+
+    The Greek text of the New Testament along with the AENT have a
+    number of places where Aramaic words are embedded within the
+    text. What I struggle to understand is why the authors needed to
+    provide clarification statements for these words if the Aramaic
+    readers already knew the words?
+
+So far as I have seen...here are all the places (Yes) in the Eastern
+Aramaic Scriptures (PeshittA) which have these clarifications, like
+the Greek and all other language versions, which translated from the
+Greek version...AND here are all the verses (No) which the Greek and
+all other language versions have, but which the Aramaic Scriptures do
+not have, being alone in this respect, since it is not a translation
+of the Greek text, like all other language versions are: To compare
+the texts, I have added the Syriac Sinaitic Palimpsest and the Western
+Peshitto readings as well.
+
+Matthew:
+| 27:33 | PeshittA: Yes 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: Yes	|
+| 27:46 | PeshittA: No 		| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+
+Mark:

+| 5:41 	| PeshittA: No 		| OldScratch: N/A	|  Western: No	|
+| 7:34 	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+| 7:11 	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+| 14:36	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: N/A	|  Western: No	|
+| 15:22	| PeshittA: Yes	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: Yes	|
+| 15:34	| PeshittA: Yes	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: Yes	|
+
+John:
+| 1:38 	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+| 1:41 	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+| 9:7 	| PeshittA: No 	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: No	|
+| 11:16 | PeshittA: Yes	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: Yes	|
+| 19:13 | PeshittA: Yes	| OldScratch: N/A	|  Western: Yes	|
+| 20:16 | PeshittA: Yes	| OldScratch: No	|  Western: Yes	|
+
+Acts:
+| 1:19 	| PeshittA: Yes	| Western: Yes	|
+| 4:36 	| PeshittA: Yes	| Western: Yes	|
+| 9:36 	| PeshittA: No 	| Western: No	|
+| 13:8 	| PeshittA: Yes	| Western: Yes	|
+-Note: Here, an Arabic name is translated into an Aramaic name for the sorcerer.
+
+Hebrew:
+| 7:2 	| PeshittA: Yes	| Western: Yes	|
+Note: Here, a Hebrew name is translated into an Aramaic name for the Priest.
+
+Galatians:
+| 4:6 	| PeshittA: No 	| Western: No	|
+
+**No = 10 times Yes = 11 times**
+
+Ten (10) times there is no clarifications given in the Eastern
+PeshittA and Western Peshitto Aramaic Scriptures, where the Greek and
+all other Language versions have them.
+
+Eleven (11) times there are clarifications given in the Eastern
+PeshittA and Western Peshitto Aramaic Scriptures, as also in the Greek
+and all other Language versions.
+
+Therefore the Greek and all other Language versions, which translated
+from the Greek text...have all the 21 occurances...whereas the
+PeshittA Eastern Aramaic Scriptures only have 11 of these 21
+occurances...and in this it is unique to all others, which have
+translated from the Greek their source text.
+
+To me this is more proof that The PeshittA is NOT a translation of the
+Greek...if it were...it would show, it seems to me all of these 21
+occurrences I have found, like all the Latin and all the Coptic
+versions do for instance.... and all the other Language translations
+of the Greek text version.

+I also have made such a list where I got the result that 6 times, no

+
+This brings the totals to 20 clarifications/interpretations in the
+Greek and its translations. And adds 3 more as I judge, to the 6
+verses in the Aramaic Scriptures where no clarifications/interpretations
+are given...for a total of 9 verses/places where they do not appear.
+
+**New Clarification Total in Eastern Aramaic PeshittA (Khabouris Codex):**
+11 Yes
+9 No
+
+As far as I know...this does not occur in any translation of the Greek NT.
+
+Is it not more probable that the Greek version is translating the
+Aramaic Scriptures in all these 20 places...and needs to clarify or
+interpret the Aramaic terms for its readers...than it would be that
+the Aramaic Scriptures would not need to clarify or interpret the
+terms in the 9 places that it leaves be as worded?
+
+If there is a good study on all this, I would love to read through
+it...if not, I think it would be an interesting investigation...as to
+which is more likely and why, from a language vantage point.
+
+Certainly it seems not likely a case of scribal error, where the
+Aramaic Scribe of the Eastern PeshittA would have missed these 9
+places out of the 20 found in the Greek text (if it is to be believed
+that the PeshittA is a translation of the Greek text)....but more
+likely, it is that the Greek Scribe has made all the clarifications
+that seemed best to make the meaning clear to the Greek readers...in
+all the 20 places where this need arises in the Aramaic NT Scriptures.
+
+If the Aramaic is translating the Greek...then the Aramaic Scribe is
+deleting parts of what he would know to be the inspired Word of
+God...something that I don't think he would do, or his employers would
+tolerate....But the Greek Scribe...in adding clarifications or
+translations in brackets or otherwise indicating what he is doing in
+bringing the meaning of the source text (Aramaic)...is not destroying
+the reading at all, but retains all of it...yet enhancing it.. when
+bringing the meaning of the Language through into the Greek Language...
+
+I say this is great proof of Aramaic Primacy.

+It should be noted that these church fathers, did not always agree
+that the other books of the New Testament were written in
+Hebrew. Epiphanius for example, believed "that only Mattith-YaHu?, put
+the setting forth of the preaching of the Gospel into the New
+Testament, in the Hebrew language and letters."#13
+
+Epiphanius does however, tell us, that the Yehudish believers would disagree
+with him, and point out the existence of Hebrew copies of Yo-Khawnawn and Acts
+in a "Gaza" or "treasury" [Genizah?] in Tiberius, Yisra-Ail.#14 Epiphanius
+believed these versions to be mere "translations,"#15 but admitted that the
+Yehudish believers disagreed with him.#16 The truth in this matter is clear:
+If Greek had replaced Hebrew as the language of Yehudeem as early as the 1st
+Century, then why would fourth century Yehudeem have any need for Hebrew
+translations. The very existence of Hebrew manuscripts of these books in 4th
+Century, testifies to their originality, not to mention the fact that
+the Yehudish believers regarded them as authentic. Also not only does the Church
+of the East testify that they received the Gospels directly from the Apostles in
+a Semitic, not Greek, language but the Targums [Commentaries] of the Hebrew
+Scriptures are all written in Aramaic! So if the Hebrew people had been so
+familiar with Greek why would they need Commentaries of the Scriptures in
+Aramaic? Would they not known Aramaic? And if Aramaic had also fallen to the
+wayside why are there still people to this day still using it handed down
+to them from antiquities?

+## the PeshittA confluence with the PeshittO and Old Scratch manuscripts
+
+The differences between the Eastern PeshittA and Western PeshittO manuscripts
+that have been translated into English are highlighted, with an eye on
+what we call Old Scratch, the Sinaiatic Palimpsest found by Agnes Smith,
+right around the same time as the Codex Simondes/Sinaticus.
+The aim is to see:
+* is Old Scratch is as old as it claims to be,
+* do the differences between it and the PeshittA somehow play into the
+  Vaticanus+Sinaticus
+* does it look like an 19 c. production like the Codex Simondes/Sinaticus
+* can we exclude Old Scratch from further consideration
+
+The Eastern PeshittA does not include the 5 books:
+Revelation, Jude, 2Peter, 2John, 3John. These books were marked by
+Eusebius as "disputed writings", except for Revelation of John
+which he says the "opinions of most men are divided".
+https://bible-researcher.com/eusebius.html
+
+It could be the Church of the East canon was closed before they were
+in general use and hence they were not known rather than refused, or
+were considered disputed as they were later in Eusebius' time.
+
+Here is a list of other differences between the two manuscript families
+compiled by Thirdwoe (Chuck Hudson). 
+https://theoscholar.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-eastern-peshitta-vs-western-peshitto.html
+
+**1: Matthew 4:21**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has "and Eshu' called them" The Ashael Grant, The
+Mingana, The 1886 Mosul, and the Paul Younan Interlinear text, all have “and
+Eshu called them”. The Curetonian has "and Eshu called them'", but the
+Sinaitic has "and he called them". English translations that have the
+Khabouris or Eastern Peshitta reading: Paul Younan, Andrew Roth, James
+Murdock, John Etheridge, George Lamsa, Joseph Pashka, Lonnie Martin, Victor
+Alexander.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has "and He called them", as does ADD MSS 14470 (5th-6th
+century) and the Sinaitic (Old Scratch) version. English translations that
+go with the Western Peshitto version: David Bauscher, Janet Magiera, The Way
+International, Herb Jahn, Francis A. Werner.
+
+**2: Matthew 6:32**
+Khabouris Peshitta: The Khabouris, in it's secondary script (East Adiabene),
+which is a later scribal replacement page, has “the Nations of the World.”
+as does Younan's Interlinear, Etheridge, Murdock, Roth, Magiera, Alexander,
+Pashka, and Lamsa. The Curetonian text reads as The Khabouris Peshitta text
+does here. The Diatessaron of 165 A.D. text in its extant 10th century
+Arabic translation from an 8th century Aramaic Ms. has the Khabouris
+Peshitta reading. Neither the Latin or any of the Greek versions have "of
+the World".
+
+UBS Peshitto: has “the Nations", as does Bauscher, Jahn, and A. Frances
+Werner. Lon Martin has "the heathen" and The Way International's ANT & MS.
+ADD 14453 (5th-6th century) doesn't have "d'Alma" (of the World) in that
+Aramaic MS. The Mingana Ms. reads the same as the UBS text and the 1199 A.D.
+"Asahel Grant" Ms. does too, both being clearly Eastern Peshitta Ms, also
+the 1886 Mosul Edition Peshitta text does not have "of the world"....which
+begs the question...is the reading "of the World" actually an Eastern
+Peshitta reading?
+
+**3: Matthew 21:4**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has “all this happened” as does Younan, Etheridge,
+Murdock, Alexander, Pashka, and Lamsa. Martin has "This all took place". The
+Diatessaron of 165 A.D. also has the Peshitta reading. The Byzantine Greek
+(Greek Orthodox Church, Majority Greek Text, and the Textus Receptus) and
+The Latin Vulgate text has the Eastern Peshitta reading. The Mingana Ms.
+reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has “this happened” as does *Younan's interlinear (see note),
+Bauscher, Magiera, *Roth, Jahn, and Werner.
+The Curetonian text reads the same as the Western Peshitto does here. The
+Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14453 (5th-6th century) does not have
+"K'uleh" (all) in it's text. The Alexandrian Greek text has the Western
+Peshitto reading.
+
+* Note: Paul Younan has said that this is a mistake in his interlinear
+  readings, and should have the Eastern reading of The Peshitta.
+* Roth follows Paul Younan's mistaken Interlinear reading, as it was his
+  base text.
+
+**4: Mark 14:31**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has “all the Disciples said” as does Younan, Etheridge,
+Murdock, Roth, Alexander, Pashka, Lamsa, and Martin. The Way International's
+ANT & MS. ADD 14453 (5th-6th century) has "T'almiyd'e" (the Disciples). The
+Diatessaron of 165 A.D. also has the Peshitta reading. Neither the Latin
+Vulgate or any Greek version has "the Disciples", nor do they have "my Lord"
+in this verse, as does both the Eastern and Western forms of the Aramaic NT.
+The Diatessaron though, has the Peshitta text's reading "my Lord". The
+Mingana Ms. reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has "they all said" as does Bauscher, Magiera, Jahn, and
+Werner, lacking "the Disciples". The Syriac Sinaitic Palimpsest 
+(Old Scratch) and The Curetonian versions have "and so all of them also said".
+
+**5: Luke 22:17**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Younan, Magiera, Roth, and Martin, don’t have this
+verse. Neither does the Syriac Sinaitic Palimpsest (Old Scratch) or the
+Curetonian. The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14453 (5th-6th century)
+does not have it. The Diatessaron of 165 A.D. also lacks the reading. The
+Mingana Codex doesn't have it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, Etheridge, [Murdock], Alexander, Pashka, Lamsa,
+Jahn, and Werner, has it. All Greek versions and the Latin Vulgate has this verse.

+it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, Magiera, Murdock, Lamsa, Alexander, Pashka, Jahn,
+Werner, and Martin (citing Bauscher's notes), have it. The Way
+International's "The Aramaic New Testament" which uses MS ADD 14453 (5th-6th
+century) for the Gospel of John, shows this verse in [brackets]. The old
+Latin and the Latin Vulgate has it, as do the standard Greek texts, which
+the translations use, though many Greek Ms copies lack it.
+
+**8: John 8:1-11 (The story of the Woman caught in adultery)**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Younan, Etheridge and Roth, does not have it. Neither
+does the Syriac Sinaitic Palimpsest (Old Scratch) or the Curetonian
+versions. The Diatessaron of 165 A.D. also lacks the reading. Many Greek Ms
+copies lack it, and some have the passage in other places, such as John
+chapter 21 . The Mingana Ms. does not have it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, Magiera, Murdock, Lamsa, Alexander, Pashka, *Jahn,
+Werner, and Martin, (citing Bauscher's notes), have it. The Way
+International's ANT which uses MS ADD 14453 (5th-6th century) for the Gospel
+of John, shows these verses in [brackets].
+
+* Herb Jahn has a note for this verse which says, "not in the Aramaic", yet
+he has it translated.) The old Latin and the Latin Vulgate has this passage,
+some Greek Ms copies have it.
+
+**9: John 16:27**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has "from the presence of The Father" as does Younan,
+Etheridge, Murdock, Roth, Lamsa, Alexander and Martin. The Diatessaron of
+165 A.D. has "from my Father". Alexandrian Greek versions have "from The
+Father". The Mingana Ms. reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has "from the presence of God" as does Magiera, Bauscher,
+Pashka, Jahn, and Werner, who has "from next-to God". The Curetonian version
+has "from God" as does The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14453 (5th-6th
+century). Byzantine Greek versions and the Latin Vulgate text, have "from God".
+
+**10: Acts 3:6**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads, "...of our Lord Eshu' M'Shikha..." Etheridge,
+Murdock, Lamsa, Pashka (and shows the variant in brackets), Martin, and
+Alexander, have the Eastern Peshitta reading. The 1199 Ashael Grant Mss has
+the Khabouris reading, as does the Mingana Codex, and the 1886 Mosul
+Peshitta.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads, "...of Eshu' M'Shikha..." Roth, Bauscher, Werner, The
+Way, Magiera, and Jahn, and MSS 14473 (Jacobite), have the Western reading.
+Paul Younan's Interlinear text shows the Western reading for some reason.
+
+**11: Acts 8:37**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Younan, Etheridge, Magiera, Roth, and Martin, don’t have
+it. The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14473 (5th-6th century) does not
+have it. The Mingana does not have it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, [Murdock], Alexander, Pashka, Lamsa, *Jahn, and
+Werner, have it.
+* Herb Jahn has a note for this verse which says, "not in the Aramaic", yet

+Khabouris Peshitta: Younan, Etheridge, Magiera, Roth, and Martin, don’t have
+it. The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14473 (5th-6th century) does not
+have it. The Mingana Ms. does not have it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, *[Murdock], Alexander, Pashka, Lamsa, *Jahn, and
+Werner, have it.
+* Murdoch has this note: “this verse is removed to the margin in the 
+  editions of the British and Foreign Bible Society.”
+* Herb Jahn has a note for this verse which says, "not in the Aramaic", 
+  yet he has it translated.
+
+**13: Acts 18:23**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...in the regions of Phrygia and of Galatia." as
+does Etheridge, Murdock, Roth, Pashka, Alexander, and Lamsa. Also, the 1199
+(Ashael Grant MS.), the Mingana MS., the 1846 Urmia printed Peshitta text,
+and the 1886 printed Peshitta text has the same reading as the Khabouris
+does here.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "...in the regions of Galatia and of Phrygia." as does
+Bauscher, Magiera, The Way International, Werner, Martin, and Jahn. Also,
+MS. 14473 has this reading, which seems to be the source for the UBS text,
+as I have seen it match up many times against the Eastern text's readings.
+It is a Western "Jacobite" text, not the Eastern Peshitta text.
+
+**14: Acts 20:28**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...the Church of M'shikha... as does Etheridge,
+Roth, *Alexander, Lamsa, and Martin, have the Eastern reading. The Mingana
+reads as the Khabouris does.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "...the Church of Alaha..." as does Bauscher, Magiera,
+Pashka, Murdock, Jahn, and Werner, have the Western reading. The Way
+International's ANT & MS. ADD 14473 (5th-6th century) has the Western
+reading.
+* Victor Alexander has this reading “…to shepherd the church of Jesus Christ,
+  that which he established by his blood.”
+
+**15: Acts 21:13**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...Eshu' M'shikha." at the end of the verse.
+Etheridge, Murdock, *Roth, **Pashka, Alexander Martin, and Lamsa have it as
+the Khabouris does. Also The 1199 Ashael Grant MS, The Mingana MS, The 1886
+printed Peshitta text, and The 1846 Urmia printed Peshitta text has it as
+The Khabouris MS does.
+
+* Roth has the same Eastern Peshitta reading here as Murdock, since he
+  revised Murdock's translation, but, his Aramaic text to the right in his
+  editions have the UBS reading, since he revised the UBS Peshitto text, while
+  leaving a number of Western readings in...like this one. His note says as
+  much.
+* Pashka has the Eastern Peshitta reading in his translation, but, his
+  Aramaic text, which I believe is the UBS edited to some degree, has the
+  Western Peshitto reading.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "...Eshu'." at the end of the verse. Bauscher, Magiera,
+The Way International, Werner, and Jahn, have it as the UBS does. Also MSS
+14473 (Jacobite) has the UBS reading. The Greek texts match the UBS Peshitto
+text.
+
+**16: Acts 26:28**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...King Agrippa said..." as does Etheridge,
+Murdock, Lamsa, Martin, Alexander, *Roth, **Pashka. The 1199 Grant MS, The
+Mingana MS, the 1846 Urmia Peshitta, and the 1886 Peshitta, all agree with
+the Khabouris.
+
+* Roth has the same reading as Murdock here, though his interlinear (UBS
+  with edits) has the Western Peshitto reading still there.
+* Pashka has the Eastern Peshitta reading in his translation, while his
+  Aramaic text has the UBS reading.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads ..."Agrippa said..." as does Bauscher, Magiera, The Way
+International, Werner, and Jahn. The UBS follows MS 14473, which is a
+Jacobite (Syrian Orthodox Church) MS. The Way International's Aramaic text
+is taken from the same MS 14473.
+
+**17: Acts 28:29**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Etheridge, Magiera, Roth, and Martin, don’t have it. The
+Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14473 (5th-6th century) doesn't have it.
+The Mingana Ms. does not have it.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, *Murdock, Alexander, Pashka, Lamsa, *Jahn, and
+Werner, have it.
+* Murdoch notes, “this verse 29 is not in the MS., nor in any of the earlier
+  editions: and the later editions place it in the margin.”
+* Herb Jahn has a note for this verse which says, "not in the Aramaic", yet
+  he has it translated.
+
+**18: 1 Corinthians 16:24**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...in M’shikha Eshu’ Amiyn." the same as the
+Byzantine Greek text form, as does Etheridge, Murdock, Roth, Lamsa, Norton,
+Alexander, Martin. Also The Mingana Codex has the same reading as the
+Khabouris, and the other Eastern Peshitta Manuscript I can see, from 1199,
+given to the English Protestant Missionary Asahel Grant, by Mar Abraham, The
+Patriarch/Catholicos of The Church of the East, has the same reading as the
+Khabouris.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "...in M’shikha Eshu’." the same as the Alexandrian
+Greek text form, as does Bauscher, Magiera, Werner, Jahn, Also, MS ADD.
+14475 (5th-6th century), as well as The Way International's translation of
+it's text has this reading.
+
+**19: 2nd Corinthians 13:1**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "...three times that I'm ready to come unto you."
+as does Roth, Murdock, Etheridge, Lamsa, Norton, *Alexander, and **Martin
+* Victor Alexander's version reads "...three seasons that I have desired to
+come to you." The Mingana reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+** Lonnie Martin's version reads "...the third time that I have prepared to
+come to you. As does Roth's and Murdock's version.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "...three times that I come unto you." as does Bauscher,
+Jahn, Werner, Magiera, and The Way International
+
+**20: Galatians 6:17**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "Our Lord Eshu' M'shikha" as does Roth, Etheridge,
+Murdock, Norton, Alexander, Martin, and Lamsa. The Mingana reads the same as
+the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "Our Lord Eshu' " as does Magiera, Bauscher, Jahn, and
+Werner. The Way International's translation and MS. ADD. 14475 (5th-6th
+century) has the Peshitto reading.
+
+**21: Ephesians 1:8**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "of The Spirit" at the end of the verse, as does
+Etheridge; where Roth, Murdock, Lamsa, and Martin, all have ("Spiritual")
+and Norton has ("the Spirit's") and Alexander has ("of Spirit"). The Mingana
+reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: doesn't have any mention of "Spirit" or "Spiritual" in the
+text, nor does Magiera, Bauscher, Jahn, and Werner. The Way International's
+ANT & MS. ADD 14475 (5th-6th century) doesn't have it.
+
+**22: Ephesians: 1:15**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "all the Holy Ones" as does Etheridge, Murdock,
+Roth, Lamsa, Norton, Alexander, Martin, and even Bauscher (though his
+Interlinear Aramaic text and word for word translation has the Western
+Peshitto reading). The Mingana reads the same as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads "the Holy Ones" as does Magiera, Jahn, and Werner. The
+Way International's TANT & MS. ADD 14475 (5th-6th century), have the Western
+reading.
+
+**23: 2nd Thessalonians 3:18**
+Khabouris Peshitta: reads "all of you, my brothers; Amen." as does Roth,
+Etheridge, Alexander, Norton, and Murdock. The Way International's TANT &
+MS. ADD 14475 (5th-6th century), has the Eastern reading. The Mingana has
+the same reading as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: reads “all of you; Amen." as does Lamsa, Bauscher, Magiera,
+Jahn, Martin, and Werner.
+
+**24: Philemon 1:25**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has "be with your spirit, my brothers; Amen." as does
+Roth, Etheridge, Murdock, Norton, and Alexander. The Mingana reads the same
+as the Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has "be with your spirit; Amen." as does Magiera, Bauscher,
+Lamsa, Jahn, Martin, and Werner. The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14475
+(5th-6th century), which doesn't have "my Brothers".
+
+**25: Hebrews 2:9**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Roth, Lamsa, and *Martin, have the Eastern reading. The
+Mingana Ms. has the Eastern reading. "who independently from God, for all
+men tasted death".
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, Magiera, Murdock, *Alexander, Norton, Etheridge,
+Jahn, and Werner, have the Western reading.
+While The Way International's ANT & MS. ADD 14475 (5th-6th century), has the
+Western reading, it's odd that the text agrees with the Khabouris readings
+in the other places in the verse where the Khabouris varies with the UBS
+text.
+(* Victor Alexander has this reading: “He is, then, very little like the
+angels, for we have seen that He is Eashoa because of the Passion of His
+death, and the glory and honor that was consecrated on His head is,
+therefore, imposed by God in tasting death on behalf of every human being.”)
+* Lonnie Martin has a strange reading here, which doesn't line up with what
+is actually in the text itself. "9 But now we see Someone who was made
+slightly inferior to the spirit messengers, ‘namely’ Yeshua Himself, crowned
+with majesty and honor, because He suffered death. Due to YHVH’s mercy, He
+could ‘experience’ death for everyone."
+
+**26: Hebrews 2:16**
+Khabouris Peshitta: Etheridge, Roth, Murdock, Magiera, Alexander, Norton,
+Lamsa, and Martin, all have the Eastern reading. The Mingana has the Eastern
+reading.
+
+UBS Peshitto: Bauscher, Jahn, and Werner, have the Western reading. The Way
+International's ANT & MS. ADD 14475 (5th-6th century), has the Western
+reading, exactly as the UBS text reads.
+
+**27: James 3:10**
+Khabouris Peshitta: has "curses and blessings" as does Etheridge, Roth,
+Murdock, Norton, Alexander, Lamsa, and Martin, which is a unique reading
+only found in the Eastern Aramaic text. The Mingana reads the same as the
+Khabouris text.
+
+UBS Peshitto: has "blessings and curses" as does Bauscher, Magiera, Jahn,
+and Werner, which aligns with the Greek and Latin reading. The Way
+International's ANT & MS. ADD 14473 (5th-6th century), has the Western
+reading.
