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

The Hebrew Book of Matthew Intro

The First Gospel, As the Apostle Wrote It — Restored From the Original Hebrew

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.

Discover the Gospel of Matthew the way it was first written — not in Greek, but in Hebrew, by an eyewitness to the Messiah. Drawing on decades of research and dozens of surviving Hebrew manuscripts, Dr. Miles R. Jones and the Benai Emunah Institute have compiled the most complete translation of Hebrew Matthew available today.

Inside, you'll uncover the words and names later stripped from Scripture — Yehovah, Yeshua, Torah, and Covenant — and see firsthand how centuries of Greek translation reshaped core doctrines of the faith. From the true meaning of "fulfilling" the Torah, to a genealogy that finally adds up, to a fuller account of Yeshua's own words in the Sermon on the Mount and beyond, this edition restores what was lost and lets you compare it directly to the familiar Greek-based text.

Complete with editor's commentary, historical documentation from the early church fathers, and appendices on the Sacred Name and manuscript evidence — this is your chance to read the Gospel of Matthew closer to its original voice than any English Bible in circulation.
