Messianic do not use the Catholic bible.
The Peshitta, which is Aramaic ... The Aramaic Peshitta Old Testament (The Former Prophets and The Holy Writings) Joshua to Esther (12 historical books) is translated from the world's oldest complete Semitic Bible - Codex Ambrosianus (6th century AD). The Peshitta Old Testament Bible is written in Aramaic and was translated from early Hebrew manuscripts in the 1st century A.D., before the Massoretic Hebrew text edition became the standard. The Massoretic edition is that used today in Jewish synagogues and temples worldwide and is the text translated to produce most Bible translations of the Old Testament. The Peshitta's Aramaic (Aramaic is a sister Semitic language to Hebrew) gives us a clear look at what the Hebrew Bible text was before the corrupt Scribes of Jesus' time and earlier had altered many of its readings for theological and political reasons. This is English only. 6x9" hardback; 308 pages with notes.
The
Codices Ambrosiani A–E are five
biblical manuscripts dating to the 6th–11th centuries CE now in the
Biblioteca Ambrosiana in
Milan.
[1] They are written by different
hands and in different
alphabets. The codices contain scattered passages from the
Old Testament (
Nehemiah) and the
New Testament (including parts of the
Gospels and the
Epistles), as well as some commentaries known as
Skeireins, rare survivals in the
Gothic language.[

- Codex Ambrosianus B contains parts of the Epistles, and consists of 156 pages, of which two are empty. The Codex Ambrosianus B.21 is written in Syriac language and script.[2] It is the basis of the Leiden Peshitta critical edition of the Peshitta Old Testament (Leiden siglum 7a1). Nominally dated to the 7th century, the consensus is that it is not older than the 6th century. It contains Apocrypha, 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, 3 and 4 Maccabees, and a part of Josephus on the Maccabees.
- Codex Ambrosianus C consists of two leaves and contains fragments of chapters 25 to 27 of the Gospel of Matthew.
Milan is not Rome or the Vatican where the Catholics keep their Catholic things.
