I have compiled translations of John 8:58 including LAMSA and NWT…
they have been reading an inaccurate translation of the bible… all other translations are in one accord…regarding John 8:58… except LAMSA and NWT…
Jesus grew in wisdom while we was growing up until his public ministry… i believe he can speak and converse languages other than aramaic… the credibilty of George LAMSA and his translation cannot be trusted…
