Some Aramaic is used in a few short sections of the Greek Scriptures, commonly called the New Testament. Two examples are from the actual, and probably completely authentic words of Jesus: Talitha koumi, said to the girl Talitha when he raised her from the dead meaning Get up, Talitha, and when on the cross: Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani? meaning Lord, Lord, why have you foresaken me? The majority of the Greek Scriptures is written in Koine Greek. As a businessman, Jesus may very well have known some Koine, but his native and everyday speech was Aramaic. Some scholars argue what is called "Aramaic primacy", meaning that there is evidence that the New Testament was written originally in Aramaic and then translated into Koine Greek.
There are some passages of the Hebrew Scriptures (Genesis, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezra) written in Chaldee, which is a dialect of Aramaic.
