Who Baptized Whom? What the Hebrew Manuscripts Reveal About What Really Happened at the Jordan River
Mark Chapter 1 in Hebrew — Word-by-Word Interlinear Study (Freiburg HS-314)
Explore the Gospel of Mark as preserved in this rare Hebrew manuscript tradition — verse-by-verse, word-by-word, with transliteration and English translation.
From The Cochin Manuscript
When a Brooklyn hardware merchant asked Jonathan Felt if he wanted to immerse a pot in rainwater, it sparked a question his translation team couldn't shake: the same Hebrew verb used for koshering dishes — taval — is the verb used for what happened at the Jordan River. So what was John's actual role?
Drawing on five Hebrew manuscripts of Luke, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mishnah, and Torah purification law, this essay traces a pattern that holds from Genesis to the Gospels: the person needing purification always immerses themselves. Never once, outside a single instance, is it someone else who dunks them.
Dive into Mark Chapter 1 through the lens of the Freiburg HS-314 Hebrew manuscript. This study resource walks through all 45 verses — from John the Baptist's proclamation in the wilderness to Jesus healing the leper — with the original Hebrew script, verse text, and a clean word-by-word breakdown table for close reading.
