Abstract

"The word ἐπιούσιος which is found in the oldest witness of the textual tradition behind the Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels, only is attested in these texts and in the divergent commentaries to these passages by later ecclesiastical authors. The present paper proposes an explanation of its origin, structure and meaning in the sociolinguistic context of Galilee, in the middle of the first century a.D. in which coexisted the Aramaic and Greek as spoken languages, as an argot between the groups of followers of Jesus from Nazaret."
