→The Peshitta
When Thomas' followers (possibly Adai (Thaddeus), the Galilean from Caesarea Phillipi among them) arrived in Adiabene, and having gone, to the synagogues first, they found already, if not a populous, then an elite governmental element, conversant with the biblical message in Aramaic. From these people, hearing the preaching of the messengers from Israel , came believers in Jesus Christ, and soon after, came the translation of the Greek New Testamet Scriptures into Aramaic, and so the Peshitta was added to by inclusion of the New Testament in Aramaic.

Adiabene and its surroundings then become the sending center for a mission to the East that would eventually, taking advantage of the newly rediscovered monsoon winds blowing for months across the Arabian sea, making possible for ships to no longer hug the coasts, and taking advantage of the "Silk Road" all the way from Antioch in Syria to China, take the message of Jesus Christ to India (bringing about the Aramaic lanuage churches of Kerala) and even to China itself.
