        How can the Aramaic vorlage of an Aramaic speaking Jesus in words
attributable to Jesus have "higher authority" in translational Greek?
Y'know,
Galileans were rather earthy people. Somehow I think that if someone
told
Jesus, after delivering the Lord's Prayer, "Sorry, Jes! That wont have
any
authority until some guy who never met you translates it to Greek in 50
years," the feller would have been cussed out....in Aramaic! (g)
