Overview

Why do the canonical Gospels begin with the arrest and execution of John the Baptist, and then end with the arrest and condemnation of Jesus by the Roman authorities? A man who performs healing and preaches the love of enemies, why does he die in the most atrocious death to which the empire has destined exclusively persons responsible for violent sedition and wounded majesty? The answers are not outside, but inside the text: the Greek one. Which has been translated countless times and betrayed as many times. By analyzing the canonical Gospels from a linguistic point of view, this essay aims to go beyond the manipulation resulting from translations, to rediscover the Jesus that is transmitted to us from the works in the original language.
