HH: Peter, you weren't alive in the first
century, and there may have been dialectical
variations. The NIV Study Bible says that the
words in Mark 15:34 are Aramaic "(but with some
Hebrew characteristics)." Practically every
source I've checked believes that the non-Greek
words in Mark 15:34 are Aramaic, and that
includes people with NT doctorates, Associated
Press, CBS, and the Companion Bible. The last two
words are clearly Aramaic, so why shouldn't the
first word be? I'm looking at Frederick
Greenspahn's An Introduction to Aramaic, at
chapter 3 (p. 8), and he is confident that the
non-Greek statements in both Matthew 27:46 and
Mark 15:34 are Aramaic (although he transcribed
Mark 15:34 incorrectly, actually spelling "why"
in a more Hebrew way).

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
