    Re: Pro multis. Both Hebrew and Aramaic make distinction between “many” and “all”. In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it has to be presumed the the Greek text of the Gospels does accurately convey the original Semitic words. Actually,there is a bit of discussion over the “ipsissimamet verba” of Jesus’ Words of Institution at the Last supper. Paul and Oaul have one version,while Mark and Matthew have another.
