"The Peshitta is the official Bible of the Church of the East. The name Peshitta in Aramaic means "Straight", in other words, the original and pure New Testament. The Peshitta is the only authentic and pure text which contains the books in the New Testament that were written in Aramaic, the Language of Mshikha (the Messiah) and His Disciples. ... Peshitta Aramaic/English Interlinear New Testament
In reference to the originality of the Peshitta, the words of His Holiness Mar Eshai Shimun, Catholicos Patriarch of the Church of the East, are summarized as follows:"
"With reference to....the originality of the Peshitta text, as the Patriarch and Head of the Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church of the East, we wish to state, that the Church of the East received the scriptures from the hands of the blessed Apostles themselves in the Aramaic original, the language spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and that the Peshitta is the text of the Church of the East which has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision."
You've likely already checked out this Peshitta site and read its Aramaic/English interlinear (literal) translation at: Peshitta Aramaic/English Interlinear New Testament of Yukhanan 7:36-39 which reads as follows ...
36 you are able not <you> am I and where you will find me of the feast the last which is great and now on the dayThe Aramaic Bible in Plain English (ABPE) reads as follows ...
37 to come thirsts a man if and said and he cried out Yeshua was standing as in me who believes anyone
38 and drink to me let him come his belly from will flow living of water rivers the scriptures have said were that they about the Spirit concerning he said and this
39 given yet for not in him who believed those to receive Yeshua was glorified yet not because the Spirit was were saying his words who heard the crowds from and many (36-39 literal Peshitta translation)
37 But at the great day, which is the last of the feast, Yeshua stood and he proclaimed and said: "If a man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink."These verses in bold red (my doing) can be interpreted as Heber suggests as referring to Yeshua, with verse 39 being interpreted in light of John 14:12 ...
38 "Everyone who trusts in me, just as the scriptures have said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him."
39 But this he spoke about The Spirit, Whom those who were trusting in him were being prepared to receive; for The Spirit had not yet been given, because Yeshua had not yet been glorified.
"Timeless truth, I tell you: 'whoever believes in me, those works which I have done he will also do, and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to the presence of my Father.' " (ABPE)
Yuhhanan 14:11-12 (Peshitta)
11 these works does say truly truly
12 believe the works because of even otherwise in me do that <I> these works in me believes that whoever to you I will do because <I> will do these then and more will do he also I will do in my name and ask and whatever
I have neither suggested, nor agreed, such a translation
