A guy walks into a pharmacy and says to the pharmacist: "Listen, I have three girls coming over tonight. I've never had three girls at once,and I need something to keep me horny.. keep me potent." The pharmacist reaches under the counter, unlocks the bottom drawer and takes out a small cardboard box marked with a label "Viagra Extra Strength" and says, .... "Here, if you eat this, you'll go nuts for twelve hours." The guy says, "Gimme three boxes." The next day the guy wearily walks into the same pharmacy, goes up to the pharmacist and pulls down his pants. The pharmacist looks in horror as he notices the man's penis is black and blue, and the skin is hanging off in some places. The man sheepishly asks the pharmacist, "Please... gimme a bottle of Ben Gay." The concerned pharmacist replies,"You're not going to put Ben Gay on that are you?" The man says, "Heck no... it's for my arms,..... the girls didn't show up!!

Arnie, you are absolutely correct. Odds are, he didn't even speak Greek. As I recall, Luke's Gospel, however, was written in Greek.

Thanks for the info. But Hell, if I've got to learn Aramaic to get rid of the JWs, it ain't worth it. <Joke intended!>

AND MOREOVER (NO JOKE CONTINUED)... Jesus died somewhere between 33-36 C.E. But the earliest Gospel, Mark, was not written until 65-68 C.E., with Luke and Matthew written about 10 years later, and the Gospel of John a full 20-30 years after that (90-110 C.E.). His teachings, therefore, were transmitted by word of mouth for 3 decades. Scholars conclude, for this reason, that we have very little of the "actual" words of Jesus recorded in the New Testament. What we do have are the orally transmitted interpretations of those teachings by his earliest followers. Just a thought, TC.
