My Reconstruction of Yeshua's Hebrew Sayings

My Reconstruction of Yeshua's Hebrew Sayings I used various available Greek manuscripts of the Gospel of Matthew and drew on Matthew's translations by Franz Delitzsch and Shem-Tob ben Isaac Ibn Shaprut. MbY stands for Mashiach ben Yoseph, which means that Yeshua probably saw himself as משיח בן יוסיף. I would also like to thank מיכאל שם-טוב for his sound advice and continous support in my research. My methodology boils down to finding sayings with a Hebrew flavour ascribed to Yeshua in Matthew and Thomas (representing 2 different traditions). The language of the sayings, except for the only direct quote from Ps 118:22, can be vaguely defined as proto-Mishnaic Hebrew. While my knowledge of old languages is poor, all linguistic corrections and contributions are welcome!
