Who Baptized Whom? What the Hebrew Manuscripts Reveal About What Really Happened at the Jordan River

Matthew 24 Decoded: The Hebrew Gospels

Uncover What the Original Hebrew Text Reveals About the Olivet Discourse — Verse by Verse, Word by Word

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.

Go beyond the Greek New Testament and discover what Yeshua actually said about the end times, straight from the Hebrew manuscript tradition.

This in-depth compilation walks through all 51 verses of Matthew 24 — the Olivet Discourse — comparing the Freiburg Hebrew Manuscript (HS-314) against the Shem Tov Matthew (STM), the Hebrew Gospel of Catalonia (HGC), a fresh literal rendering (FRB), and the King James Version (KJV).

  • Full Hebrew text with vocalization, transliteration, and word-by-word grammatical breakdowns (root words, verb forms, parts of speech)
  • Side-by-side comparison of five translation traditions for every verse
  • High-resolution manuscript images from the original Freiburg Hebrew source
  • Scholarly notes cross-referencing Scripture (Daniel, Joel, 1 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, and more)
  • Fresh insight into disputed passages — including the "abomination of desolation," the "wise and faithful servant," the "one taken/one left" text, and the true meaning of watching "with" rather than "for" the Master
