*Was Yeshua Quoting Greek in Luke 4? No. He Was Reading Hebrew In Synagogue.* By John Lanclos So-called scholars say Luke 4:18 is LXX. Think. Would Yeshua read Greek LXX scroll on Shabbat in Nazareth synagogue to Aramaic Jews? No. He read Hebrew. Luke 4:16 - *ܦܬܚ ܟܬܒܐ - pthach ktaba - He opened the scroll* - Isa 61:1-2 - Hebrew scroll, not Greek. Look at what He actually read: > *וְלַאֲסוּרִים פְּקַח־קוֹחַ - v'la'asurim p'qach qowach - Isa 61:1* *פָּקַח - paqach - S6491 - to open - EYES ONLY* Not doors. Eyes. Every time - Gen 3:5 eyes opened, Gen 21:19 God opened Hagar eyes, 2 Kings 6:17 Elisha prayed open eyes.

I submit it is original because it rhymes. *ܐܝܩܐ - iyqa - S709 - without cause / empty* *ܪܩܐ - raqa - S20260 - empty head / I spit on you* *iyqa raqa* - same qa ending. Rhyme. Escalation: 1. Angry empty - in heart - *איקא* 2. Say empty - with mouth - *רקא* 3. Say fool - to damn - *ללא - lala* You need 1 and 2 to keep poetry. Greek saw *εἰκῇ / ῥακά* and thought doublet, deleted one. P67, Vaticanus delete *εἰκῇ* - breaks rhyme. Peshitta keeps rhyme because original was Aramaic wordplay. Greek variants prove Aramaic swing: - *ܐܝܩܐ* can be *without cause* OR *vainly* - Greek had to pick - some picked *εἰκῇ*, some omitted If Greek original, why create Aramaic rhyme? I...
