Endnote 40 - Did Jesus Speak Greek?

See Harris Birkeland, The Language of Jesus, Avhandlinger utgitt av Det Norske Videnskaps-Akademi i Oslo II. Hist-Filos. Klasse 1954/1 (Oslo: Jacob Dybwad, 1954). Cf. Jean Carmignac, The Birth of the Synoptic Gospels (Chicago: Franciscan Herald, 1987); Claude Tresmontant, The Hebrew Christ: Language in the Age of the Gospels (Chicago: Franciscan Herald, 1989). These claims have been adequately refuted by Pierre Grelot, L’Origine des evangiles: Controverse avec J. Carmignac (Paris: Cerf, 1986).

Endnote 38 - Did Jesus Speak Greek?

See Klaus Beyer, Semitische Syntax im Neuen Testament: Band I, Satzlehre Teil 1, 2nd ed., Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments (Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1968); A. Ceresa-Gastaldao, “Lingua greca e categoric semitiche del testo evangelico,” Storia e preistoria dei Vangeli (Genoa: Universita di Genova, Facolta di lettere, 1988), pp. 121–141; Elliott C. Maloney, Semitic Interference in Marcan Syntax, Society of Biblical Literature Dissertation Series 51 (Chico, CA: Scholars Press, 1981).

Endnote 37 - Did Jesus Speak Greek?

G.H.R. Horsley, “The Fiction of ‘Jewish Greek,’” New Documents Illustrating Early Christianity, 5 vols. (North Ryde, N.S.W., Australia: Macquarie Univ., 1981–1989), 5.5–40. But that fiction is often repeated; e.g. Ben Zion Wacholder, Eupolemus: A Study of Judaeo-Greek Literature (Cincinnati, OH: Hebrew Union College, 1974), p. 256: “In the Gospels Jesus speaks Judaeo-Greek.”
