Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic Language Long Sleeve Shirt
Jesus taught the Lord’s prayer to his disciples in the Aramaic language. This comes as a surprise to some folk who think Jesus taught in Hebrew or in Greek. But all the evidence is that Aramaic was Jesus’s own tongue. The story of Aramaic is a big story. Although it now has very few first language speakers, it was once one of the greatest languages in the world. As the language of the Assyrian empire, it went from being a tribal language of Syria to becoming the lingua franca of the entire east—from Egypt to India—in the period 700 BC to 200 AD. As a result, we now know it by many names—not only Aramaic, but Syriac, Chaldean, Osroenian, and Assyrian.
Because of this expansion, Aramaic became the language of the ordinary people of Galilee in the time of Jesus. And, of course, Jesus was a Galilean. And so, in the gospels, the little phrases that Jesus speaks from time to time in his own language—Ephatha or talitha qum—are Aramaic.
