No offence taken.So are you suggesting that the existing copies of the Septuagint are a Christian fake, written to substantiate gospel manuscripts? Do you have any evidence for this. I have never heard such a claim before.The point I was making is that the area of Galilee was so thoroughly affected by the current Greek culture of the day that the Jews (and Gentiles) who attended the synagogue in Nazareth were using Koine Greek. Jesus' use of Greek does not undermine his claim to Messiahship. He is simply using the language that will best ensure good communication.Where did Jesus find the words relating to the opening of blind eyes if not from the Septuagint; there are not in the Masoretic text.
