Rev. Bess, Have you read the translations of the New Testament by Dr. Lamsa "Gospel Light:An Indispensible Guide to the Teachings of Jesus & the customs of His Time"? It was written originally in 1936, and again 1964. It can still be obtained from online booksellers I highly recommended it to any clergy or lay person. Dr. Lamsa (an Assyrian scholar), has translated passages from the New Testament, as he says ". . .from my knowledge of the Aramaic language and ancient Semitic customs". Within the context of customs and colloquialisms, the writings make much more sense.
