When Jesus spoke of God as Father, he used the Aramaic term "ABBA," which conveys a sense of intimacy and closeness, akin to "daddy" or "papa" in English. This term emphasizes the loving relationship between God and his children.

Where did the term beejezus come from?

It is a take-off or slang rendition of the name Jesus, which is itself a Latinized version of the Aramaic/Palestinian name Yeshua. Yeshua is probably very close to what Jesus was actually called during his life. Possibly the expression is related to "By Jesus" or "By the power of Jesus".


What name did jesus call God?

Jesus called him Abba-or Father.AnswerJesus did not reveal God's name - only his title by which we should call him - in Aramaic, 'Abba' or 'Father' - or more accurately translated 'Daddy' to show an intimacy between us and God. However Jesus DID indirectly refer to God's name. In John's gospel Jesus uses the term 'I am' frequently (eg 'before Abraham was... I am',' I am the way the truth and the life'.... I am the Good Sheperh' etc). This 'I am' refers to the name of God as revealed to Moses by God himself on Mount Sinai. 'I am' in Hebrew is YHWH or YahWeh - or, in its anglicised version - Jehovah.


What language did the Hebrews speak in the time of Jesus?

The term Hebrews is usually reserved for the community that went into slavery in Egypt. Coming out of Egypt during the Exodus, the most common term used in the Bible is the Children of Israel (Bene Yisrael in Hebrew), or Israelites. The term Jew seems to have emerged as a generic term during the Babylonian exile, applying (for example) to Mordechai, a Benjamanite. The Jews 2000 years ago spoke Aramaic, a Semitic language that was spoken from what is now Israel and Palestine all the way to what is now Iraq. Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic share many words in the same way French, Italian and Spanish share words.
