This site provides tools so you can analyze what Jesus said in Greek even though you haven't invested the decade or so needed to master the language. From the information here, YOU CAN INTERPRET JESUS ACCURATELY FOR YOURSELF! This is impossible using any number of existing English translations. The articles about each verse provide detailed information on the Greek words, their meaning, and their form, and comparing them to the most popular translations. The goal is to reveal what is lost or obscured in translation by those wanting Jesus's words to support some given doctrine.
It takes me a couple of years to update each of the over 2,000 verses to my current standards. If you are interested in a specific verse that seems like it needs updating, let me know and I will update it as soon as I can.
This site does not promote any religious point of view. On the contrary, it seeks to avoid the competing dogmas that have shaped Biblical translation. Most tools for the study of "Biblical Greek" explain the Greek only in terms of how the Bible has been translated, not in terms of how people of the time would have heard Jesus.
Everyday word meanings at Jesus's time have been given a religious meaning they didn't have at the time. For example, the word for "student" becomes "disciple;'" the word for "writings" becomes "scripture." Words such as "prophet," "angels," "baptism," "hypocrite," "Christ," and many more are not translated at all but adopted into our language with their new, religious meanings. Different Greek words are hidden in a single English one so that the distinctions Jesus made are lost. Two different words are conflated into "love" but one means "enjoy" and the other, "care about." At least three different words with different meanings are translated as "good." Three others, are simplified as "evil." Four words are translated as "world." You may know that the word for "sin" doesn't mean that, not exactly, but did you know that the word translated as "forgive" doesn't mean that either? The Greek word translated as "word" doesn't mean "word" are all. It's that bad!
Now, perhaps none of this matters today to most Christians or to anti-Christians who think they know what Jesus said, but this site is for those who think the distinctions are important.
