<h2>Why Ignored Until Now?</h2>
|
||
<p>NCCRG.Org explains:</p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The language is very much 1st century Hebrew, now...there are some translation corrections from later centuries in the manuscript, but these are very obvious due to the striking language change, and so, we are able to tell quite well how the origional text reads even in these cases. The aritcle I have is from Bible Review, Winter 1986, [actually, over a year now since the discovery], and it was found amongst the writings of the 14th century Hebrew treatise written by Rabbi Shem-Tob ben Shaprut, called Even Bohan, the Touchstone. Written in 1380, revised in 1385-1400+. The reason it was overlooked for so long, as<strong><em> it was always assumed to be a 14th century Hebrew translation of Matthew untill looked at closely in the last couple of years.</em></strong> And also because in 1690, Richard Simon in <em>Histoire Critique des Versions du Nouveau Testament</em>, [Rotterdam R.Leers, 1690, p.231] mistakenly identified the Hewbrew Matthew in Shem-Tob's work with the Hebrew Matthew in Munster and du Tillet. So, was ignored till of late. <a href="http://nccg.org/shem_tov/MATTINTR.txt">http://nccg.org/shem_tov/MATTINTR.txt</a></p>

Good summary of Shaprut's work and Howard's publication of it.

Horbury admits it is possible Howard is correct the original substratum of our Greek text was a Hebrew original, but he posits a more "likely" explanation. He believes there is an underlying Latin origin.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Baeda at the beginning of the eighth century, does not seem to have known any more of this <span class="gstxt_hlt">Gospel </span>than what he learnt from Jerome.

<p>Helmut Koester, <em>The Ancient Christian Gospels</em> (1990) at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=DGK4sIPk4PYC&lpg=PP1&dq=Helmut%20Koester%20Ancient%20Christian%20Gospels&pg=PA316#v=onepage&q=proclamation&f=false">316</a> says it is "certain" there was no Hebrew Matthew because of the "Greek literary style of the Gospel of Matthew and its use of Greek sources (Mark and Q)." But Koester is circular, for those views were arrived at without knowledge of the Hebrew Matthew which shows the Hebrew idiom underlying the Greek text and proves why Mark did not have the Sermon on the Mount -- he could not read Hebrew -- destroying the Marcan priority claim that did not factor in an original Hebrew version of Matthew.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>Notes on Shem Tov's Hebrew Matthew</span></p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>The 14th century polemical treatise Even Bochan [Isaiah 28:16] written by Shem-Tob ben-Isaac ben-Shaprut Ibn Shaprut], a Castilian Jewish physician, living later in Aragon. 12th/ 13th book contains a Hebrew version of the complete text of Matthew. EB completed in 1380 CE, revised in 1385 & 1400. This is not to be confused with the Sebastian Münster (1537; dedicated to Henry VIII under title The Torah of the Messiah); or Jean du Tillet (1555) versions of Hebrew Matthew. In 1690 Richard Simon mistakenly identified Shem-Tob's Matthew with the version sof Münster and du Tillet.</span></p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>Howard's edition based on nine manuscripts of ST dating from 15th to 17th centuries; namely British Library Add no. 26964 for chapters 1:1-23:22; and JTS Ms. 2426 for 23:23-end.</span></p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>Shem-Tov's text is basically BH (Vav Consecutive predominates) with a mixture of MH and later rabbinic vocabulary and idiom. In addition the text reflects considerable revision to make it conform more closely to the standard Greek and Latin Gospel texts. The underlying text, however, reflects its original Hebrew composition, and it is the most unusual text of Matthew extant in that it contains a plethora of readings not found in any other codices of Matthew. It appears to have been preserved by the Jews, independent from the Christian community.</span></p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">**** The Pseudo-Clementine writings (Recognitions and Homilies) when quoting or referring to Matthew occasionally agree with ST Hebrew Matthew against the canonical Greek versions.</p>

<p>"<a href="http://www.datingthenewtestament.com/Matthew.htm">Dating New Testament - Matthew</a>." Among other issues, this article points out: "<span>The book looks as if the Hebrew has been updated from what it would have been in the first century A.D. In some cases, this has wiped out Hebraisms that actually remain in the Greek text of the book. For example, the Greek New Testament always says “amen” (A Hebraism) for “truly”, as in Matt 5:20, while the Shem Tov Matthew says “in truth” (b’emeth)."</span></p>
|
||
<p>Another interesting point raised in this article is as follows which points to Q (really the original Hebrew Matthew) as the source for the Greek Matthew & Luke:</p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span>In the canonical New Testament, the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is a single long message spoken by Jesus, without any narrative interruption. However, in the Shem Tov Matthew, the Sermon on the Mount is interrupted 16 times by the introductory phrase “Again Jesus said to His disciples”, or something similar. These interruptions occur in Matt 5:13, 5:17, 5:20, 5:25, 5:27, 5:31, 5:43, 6:2, 6:5, 6:16, 6:19, 6:24, 7:6, 7:13, 7:15 and 7:24. The location of the interruptions is significant when placed in parallel with Luke’s usage of the same verses. Every time the Hebrew has an interruption, Luke either jumps to a different place in his gospel, or Luke does not have those verses. This curious fact may suggest that a common source or sources for the sayings of Jesus stand behind both Matthew and Luke. In a way, these interruptions could be considered fingerprints of the famous Q source. But if so, it would point to a Hebrew language Q. A similar thing happens in the Olivet discourse of Matthew 24-25. The Shem Tov version of Matt 24:27 interrupts Jesus' talk with the narrative “Again Jesus said to His disciples.” This ends a section that appears also in Mark, while the following passage (Matt 24:27) does not appear in Mark. Interruptions also in Matt 24:37 (Luke diff spot, Mark doesn’t have it), 24:42 (Mark has it, diff spot, Luke does not), 25:1 (not in Mark or Luke), 25:14, 25:31 (not in Mark or Luke).</span></p>

<h2>Fraudulent "Gospel of the Holy 12"</h2>
|
||
<p>The Nazarenes is a name that legitimate sects may use. However, in 1870 was a fraudulent effort to recover what was called "Gospel of the Nazarenes" or "Gospel of the Holy 12" and some by saying they are "Nazarenes" mean to say they follow this 1870 text that purported to be the original gospel.</p>
|
||
<p>This Gospel of the Holy 12 represents a very clever effort to mix the 42 true patristic era quotes with a lot of interpretive material presented as 'gospel-fact' when the entire effort is a fraud. It sucked me in for a time because of the legitimate 42 quotes, and the reasonable guesses it often had as to what might be other missing material.</p>
|
||
<p>But then I noticed it depicted Jesus as once having a wife (who died), endorsed strict vegetarianism, etc. And thus we need to carefully examine its authenticity.</p>
|
||
<p>The Gospel of the Holy 12 begins with an 1870 work claiming antiquity -- found by an Irish theologian of a manuscript in a Tibetan monestary written in Aramaic which purports to contain what was the more original Gospel of Matthew. For a defensive discussion, see <a href="http://messianic.nazirene.org/gospel_comentary.htm">http://messianic.nazirene.org/gospel_comentary.htm</a> (No Aramaic text was ever published to allow scholars to examine the claims).</p>
|
||
<p>However, tekton did an expose that this claim of an authentic Gospel of the Holy 12 is bogus -- that there was no mss found in sense we would understand; instead visions and divine messages gave it to them in Aramaic. Here is the article discussing this: <a href="http://www.tektonics.org/lp/ouseley01.html">http://www.tektonics.org/lp/ouseley01.html</a></p>

By them it was translated from the original, and given to the Editors in the flesh,<strong><em> to be supplemented in their proper places,</em></strong> where indicated, from the 'Four Gospels' (A.V.) revised where necessary by the same.</p>
|

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">To this explanation, the Editors cannot add, nor from it take away.<strong><em> By the Divine Spirit was the Gospel communicated to the four above mentioned</em></strong>, and by them translated, and given to the writers; not in seance rooms (where too often resort the idle, the frivolous and the curious, attracting spirits similar to themselves, rather than the good),<em><strong> but 'in dreams and visions of the night,' and by direct guidance, has God instructed them by chosen instruments</strong></em>; and now they give it to the world, that some may be wiser unto Salvation, while those who reject it, remain in their blindness, until they will to see."</p>

<p>The modern Essenes recognize this Gospel of the Holy 12 is a hoax, and describe GOHT as work that claims to be "channelled," and not truly 'discovered' in the normal sense of the word.

<p>In my opinion, the GOHT was a sophisticated hoax, using many of the 42 patristic era quotes of the Gospel according to the Hebrews. This gave a researcher the sense that if there was a true discovery of an Aramaic mss. with all these quotes, it must be tied to the original Hebrew version of Matthew. But we come to realize there was no true discovery in the sense we understand the word "discovered" -- it was discovered by visions and divine messages, and not by finding a mss. The authors admitted this, and admitted using the KJV to fill in blanks. But then if they were really researchers, they should have showed us what was original and what was the King James. They should have identified the additions, which they did not do. They did not set out side-by-side the Aramaic text to allow others to interpret their supposedly 'amazing' find.' The fact they did not (and in over 100 years since nothing more was produced) shows again those who perpetuated this claim in 1870 were frauds.</p>

<h2>Puns in Hebrew</h2>
|
||
<p>Michael Banak wrote in <a href="http://www.paleotimes.org/whatsNew/2003/july_29_2003.htm">2003</a>:</p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In the fall of 1986, George Howard published an announcement of his forthcoming translation of the OTHER text, the Shem Tob text. Up till that point in time I had ignored the Shem Tob, seeing how Schonfield cast such a bad light upon it. George Howard reported in the Bible Review Magazine how he was astounded to find the Shem Tob Text saturated with puns, word plays and other unique Hebrew constructions. In many ways, this Shem Tob text appeared to be more valuable than the du Tillet text. Let's digress for a moment and ponder the significance of puns, word-plays, etc.</p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;" align="justify">The Old Testament is also filled with such things. For an example of a pun, please see Jeremiah 1:11-12. "Moreover, the Word of Yahweh came unto me saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see the rod of an Almond tree. Then said Yahweh unto me, thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it." It is important to know that the Hebrew word for almond (Strong's number 8247, shaw-kade) sounds like the Hebrew word for 'hasten' (Strong's number 8245, shaw-kad). That is an example of a pun. Psalm 122:6 has a fine example of a word-play. Where it says 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,' the Hebrew is pronounced, 'Shalu shalom Yerushalaim.' The Old Testament has many other examples of this kind of writing. We should, therefore, find it no surprise when we turn-up a Hebrew Matthew which also has these things. Further, it shows strong evidence that the Shem Tob text was NOT a translation from the Greek.</p>

<p>"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)">Nazarenes</a>," Wikipedia - main difference from Ebionites is they accepted virgin birth account. This mentions some details about Jerome's encounter with them and the Hebrew Matthew:</p>
|
||
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px;">St.Jerome wrote that Matthew, the tax collector and later an Apostle, composed his gospel near Jerusalem for Hebrew Christians. It was then translated into Greek but the Greek copy was lost. The Hebrew original was preserved at the Library of Caesarea, which Pamphilus diligently gathered. The Nazarenes transcribed a copy for Jerome which he used in his work. <sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-Jerome.2C_On_Illustrious_Men_3-24"><span>[</span>25<span>]</span></a></sup> Jerome adds that Matthew's gospel was called the <em><a class="mw-redirect" title="Gospel according to the Hebrews" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_according_to_the_Hebrews">Gospel according to the Hebrews</a></em> or sometimes the <em>Gospel of the Apostles</em>, and was used by the Nazarene communities.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-25"><span>[</span>26<span>]</span></a></sup> Jerome and Epiphanius both wrote how the Nazarene sect existed in their day,<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-26"><span>[</span>27<span>]</span></a></sup><sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-27"><span>[</span>28<span>]</span></a></sup>. However, little is known how their sect disappeared or what happened to the Gospel of the Nazarenes.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-28"><span>[</span>29<span>]</span></a></sup></span></p>

<p>****</p>
|
||
<p>In the 4th century <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome" title="Jerome">Jerome</a> also refers to Nazarenes as those "...who accept Messiah in such a way that they do not cease to observe the old Law." In his <em>Epistle</em> 79, to Augustine, he said:</p>
|
||
<dl><dd>"What shall I say of the Ebionites who pretend to be Christians? To-day there still exists among the Jews in all the synagogues of the East a heresy which is called that of the Minæans, and which is still condemned by the Pharisees; [its followers] are ordinarily called 'Nasarenes'; they believe that Christ, the son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, and they hold him to be the one who suffered under Pontius Pilate and ascended to heaven, and in whom we also believe. But while they pretend to be both Jews and Christians, they are neither." <sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazarene_(sect)#cite_note-29"><span>[</span>30<span>]</span></a></sup></dd></dl>
|
||
<p>Jerome viewed a distinction between Nazarenes and Ebionites, a different Jewish sect, but does not comment on whether Nazarene Jews considered themselves to be "Christian" or not or how they viewed themselves as fitting into the descriptions he uses. His criticism of the Nazarenes is noticeably more direct and critical than that of Epiphanius.</p>

<h2>Dove and Voice of God</h2>
|

<p>Bat kol is “a voice from heaven.” (Deborah Sawyer, <em>Midrash aleph beth</em> (1992) at 126.) Shekinah has “in Greek no equivalent unless it is deza, ‘a gleam of light.’”....This idea of a dove-like form is found in Jewish literature. The phrase in Cant. 2:12 ‘the voice of the dove’ (AV ‘turtle’) is translated in the Targum ‘the voice of the Holy Spirit.' The passage in Gen. 1:2, ‘And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters’ is interpreted by <span> </span>Ben Zurana (ca. 190AD) to mean ‘A dove that hovers above her brood without touching it.’” (Isidore Singer, <em>The Jewish Encyclopedia</em> (1964) Vol. 6 at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=ghcVAQAAIAAJ&q=bat+kol+shekinah&dq=bat+kol+shekinah&hl=en&ei=Dw1XTfjXIIz6swOympycDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAzgK">448</a>.)]</p>
