The text is virtually verbatim. There is less difference between the two texts, than between King James English and

modern English. There is a proclitic d added to the beginning of the first word 0hd Forbehold in the Peshitta NewTestament.

An equivalent comparison of the same passage of text between the LXX and an extant Greek New Testament manuscript, inthis case the fifth Century St. Petersburg Sinaiticus affirms the use of the Septuagint in the quotationof Old Testament prophesies, with slight variations.

SEPTUAGINT SINAITICUS

Behold the virgin with child shall be and shall bring forth a son

and they shall call name his Emmanuel

As can be seen, the agreement between the Greek New Testament and the Peshitta is remarkable, considering the lack of

common roots, and only cognates. While Hebrew and Aramaic share 90%+ of their common roots, there are no common roobetween Hebrew and Aramaic on one hand and Greek, both classical and koine (common) on the other. In Greek manuscriptthe use of synonyms varies. According to Paul Younan, agreement between any two Greek texts, of the thousands that areavailable, is never more than 80% while the 360+ surviving Peshitta manuscripts are in nearly perfect agreement, except for ahandful of variations. This points to an Aramaic original ot the New Testament, contrary to the widely held view that the GreekNew Testament is considered to be the de-facto autograph of the New Testament. If the Greek is the autograph, why dosynonyms appear so frequently in the Greek, if not because they are translations from the Aramaic original?
