Portrait of Jesus

"Portrait of Jesus" is an incredible audio project narrating important excerpts from the four Gospels about the life and teachings of Christ. Narrated in 3 different dialects (Malouli, Mardini, and Surayt) over soothing music in a cinematic fashion.

It is translated professionally into the Syriac-Aramaic language in the Ma'oula dialect (Syrion) by the late professor George Rizkallah, and it has been verified and transmitted to the Syriac writing by Malfuno Bashir Saadi. It has also been translated to the Tur-Abdin dialect (Surayt) Aramaic dialect by Malfuno Abdul Massieh Saadi, and to the Mardini dialect by the late Malfuno Saad Saadi.

These three translations and audio recording were sponsored by the Aramaic Bible Translation Foundation.
