Jesus in Aramaic.

Jesus Christ, also known as Jesus of Nazareth, is believed by many scholars to have spoken Aramaic as his native language. Aramaic was a common language in the region of Galilee where Jesus grew up, and it was also used as a lingua franca throughout the Near East during the time of Jesus.

There are several Aramaic words and phrases that are attributed to Jesus in the New Testament, such as "Talitha koum" (which means "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") and "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"). These phrases are evidence of Jesus' use of Aramaic.

Additionally, some scholars believe that certain sayings of Jesus in the New Testament may have been originally spoken in Aramaic and later translated into Greek. For example, the saying "You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24) is thought by some scholars to have originally been spoken in Aramaic as "You cannot serve both God and Mammon," with Mammon being a term used to refer to wealth or material possessions.

Overall, while we cannot know for certain what language Jesus spoke, it is widely believed that he spoke Aramaic and that this language had a significant influence on his teachings and message.
 
The word mshikha (משיחא)-the Messiah is related to the word mishkha (מישחא) which means oil or olive oil in Aramaic.


"He shall be called Nazarene."
                          Matthew 2:23

 netiqreʾ d݁noṣroyoʾ

Jesus Nazarene,(Hebrew: נָצְרַת‎, Natzrat; Aramaic: ܢܨܪܬ) from the city of Nazareth which was a town in Galilee. The name Nazareth comes from the Hebrew word Nazara meaning truth.



Jesus spoke Galilean Aramaic natively the common spoken language of the people in area at the time. By that time Hebrew was long gone as a spoken language since the times that Jews were expelled to Babylon, being used almost exclusively as a language of liturgy.

There they picked up and shifted to Aramaic, the second common language of the Persian Empire.



Upon their return they brought their newly acquired language to Judaea.

Today little is known about the Galilean dialect and it is currently being reconstructed and constantly being revised.

The historical name of Jesus (Ιησούς) in Amaraic was Yeshua ישוע  or (ܝܫܘܥ) in Classical Syriac. In Eastern Syriac dialects there is the variation Isho (ܝܫܘܥ) written the same as Yeshua. 

The name of Jesus is also often written in abbreviation as ܝܗ.



Mshikha- the Messiah- the annointed

Annointing with oil was a common inauguration ceremony for new kings all over the Middle East. Daniel was annointed with oil ,even Xerxes was annointed when he became King of Kings of the Achaemenid Empire.

The act of annointing with oil played an important part in rituals of many ancient middle Eastern peoples and had the meaning of making something sacred or godly. Oil was also considered to have healing properties.

Jesus the Messiah was annointed as he became the new king of his heavenly kingdom.

The word Christ did not exist in Aramaic.It comes from the Greek word Χριστός which means 'the anointed one' and is a translation of the Aramaic Msheekha מְשִׁיחָא (Messiah).So Jesus Christ is Yeshua Msheekha in Aramaic.

The word mshikha (משיחא)-the Messiah is related to the word mishkha (מישחא) which means oil or olive oil in Aramaic.


The shemen ha-mshikha (שמן המישחא) was a balm for annointing. In Biblical context it was the annointing for kingship.



So Jesus Christ in Aramaic is Yeshua Msheekha .In Syriac there are of course variants ,Yeshuo Msheekho in Western Syriac,Yeshua Msheekha in Eastern Syriac.You may also see Eeshoo instead of Yeshua.
Yeshua in Syriac

The following video shows you how to write Jesus in the Estrangelo script.

Estrangelo evolved from the Palmyrene alphabet , ultimately from Aramaic.



Yeshua written in the Herodian script which is a variant of the square Aramaic alphabet used in Judea during Herod's time.


Herod was a client king to the Romans of the kingdom of Judea and he ruled during the time that Jesus ministered.

Jesus in the Herodian script


Jesus in the Imperial Aramaic alphabet.
And this is how to write Yeshua in the Imperial Aramaic script.

The Imperial Aramaic alphabet was not used at the times of Jesus since it was the standard alphabet of Aramaic in the Persian Empire.

I'm using it here retrospectively just to give you an example of the script.


Now watch this video about the origin of the name of Jesus.

  4. Yah not IAH!!, Yah is found in psalms 68:4 and Isaiah 12:2. Yeshua is Hebrew for Yehovah is salvation and Yeshua is the Hebrew name of the Messiah Mashiach.

    1. lol. The Arabs stole the name from us. I am an Aramean and my people are the first Christians. Aloho or Alaha is how we say it in Aramaic

  7. arabic is heavily influenced by Aramaic. Alah is taken from aramaic word for god=Alaha. this could be applied to false gods as well, as we know it has been even to this day. but the true God, (the true Alaha) revealed His Holy Name to be YHWH.

  8. The New Testament "Yeshua" (aka Jesus) was NOT a Jew (i.e., the post-Babylonian follower of "The Tradition of the Elders." The "proto-Jews"--the Pharisees, Sadducees, et. al.--morphed into what you would today call a Jew. Most Hebrews (i.e., MOST of the true "Semites"), at some point, became Christians, later moving (through the trade routes) to Europe--and even later, farther out. The Hebrews (also Semites) who became Jews are far fewer in number. "Jew," like "Jesus," is a fairly modern term. If you see the term "Jew" in the Holy Bible (even in the Old Testament), you should know that the word "Jew" is an inaccurate, misleading replacement for the original word/s. In sum, NO ONE in either the Old or New Testament should have been referred to as Jew. Why? Because, at the time, there were NONE. Also, the Jews are categorically NOT "God's chosen people" (which you'll hear repeatedly from that sell-out Fake Church). As scripture states repeatedly, "the blessing" went to Joseph, then to his sons, and so forth. Most--by far--of the Semites on this planet are Christians and some form of Not-a-Jew. The bandied-about term "anti-Semite" is a false phrase used simply for "misdirection." If someone hates the Jew, he is "anti-Jew," NOT "anti-Semite." The Jew uses this misdirecting term to psychologically create "an invisible other." As such, the psychogenic hate energy that was specifically intended for them is diverted. Pretty slick, huh?

    2. This is very trye and interesting yet, what exactly would a man of the (modern day Jew) religion have been called? And what group or religion (in those days) would they have said these people belonged to? I love learning real history on these subjects and I thank you sir for your time and effort in learning these things and not being affraid to state the truth.
