Keterangan [[Eusebius]] bahwa [[Hegesippus|Hegesipus]] "pernah mengutip dari Injil menurut orang Ibrani dan dari Injil Suryani," berarti semestinya ada peninggalan tertulis berupa rujukan kepada Perjanjian Baru Suryani yang seawal-awalnya dibuat dalam rentang waktu tahun 160 sampai 180 Masehi, yakni masa hidup pujangga Kristen Ibrani itu. Terjemahan Perjanjian Baru tersebut dikerjakan secara saksama, tepat lagi harfiah, dan kesederhanaan, kelugasan, maupun kejelasan gaya terjemahannya dikagumi semua sarjana bahasa Suryani, sehingga membuatnya digelari "ratunya terjemahan Alkitab."<ref name="bible-researcher1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.bible-researcher.com/syriac-isbe.html|title=Syriac Versions of the Bible, by Thomas Nicol|website=www.bible-researcher.com|access-date=11 November 2019}}</ref>

This critical Peshitta text is based on a collation of more than seventy Peshitta and a few other Aramaic manuscripts. All 27 books of the common Western [[Canon of the New Testament]] are included in this British & Foreign Bible Society's 1905 Peshitta edition, as is the [[adultery pericope]] (John 7:53–8:11). The 1979 Syriac Bible, United Bible Society, uses the same text for its New Testament. The [[Online Bible]] reproduces the 1905 Syriac Peshitta NT in Hebrew characters.-->
