Yea Greek makes more sense and the part about Jesus' resurrection is in the end of each gospels. If I'm right in think the numbers are verses then this one has to come from Luke, because its the only one with that many verses.
Of course I couldn't actually translate it... so... I could be wrong... sorry if I am.

The spices puzzle.
I'm not going to put the answer itself here, just the clues.

Interestingly enough, the username and password translate to something akin to:

Also, Nav figured out the phone number under the solve page.

While it's great that we're working together as a community to solve these problems, I think it's important that everyone post their notes to give insight to how the answers were found, as well as anything else of interest they found along the way.

For example, this week when I was trying to figure out 2H's riddle, and saw the image of the man with arrows sticking out of him. The credited artist was Botticelli. I was familiar with his Birth of Venus, but was unaware of this particular work's name. A google Image search revealed him to be St. Sebsatian.

Wikipedia says that St. Sebastian was a Christian martyr who was killed in 287. You can read all about his exploits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian Also in the wiki, they mention musical references to St. Sebastian such as his image being used in the R.E.M. video "Losing my religion" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7vs21ZKrKM ) as well as being mentioned in a Phillip Glass song, and a Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds tune. Interesting stuff, eh?

Even stranger, the wiki points out that the image of St. Sebastian was the subject for the engraver known as "The Master of Playing Cards" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_the_Playing_Cards) Does this have anything to do with our journey? I don't know, but it can't hurt to read, just in case.

I briefly came across a mention of Adam being told that he could take 4 fragrances with him when he was expelled from the Garden of Eden. Thinking perhaps these were spices, I looked into what he might have carried them around in but the search yielded nothing of note.

Looking for an answer for where 2H could keep her spices, I looked to the clues.

"Raised from the dead
Then became a grape
But I've progressed
I've moved on
I'm still holding on
To my spices.
What should I keep them in?
Bring it to me.
Jane"

Raised from the dead... Jesus? Google Jesus, Resurrection. Turns out that Lazarus was also resurrected. Jesus rose in 3 days, Lazarus in 4. An ALT tag on a previous page of 2H's said "four days" and there were Sting lyrics referencing "Lazarus Heart"

Then became a grape but I've progressed... Grape? Progressed? Wine perhaps?

...I'm still holding onto my spices... spices?

The writing in the background of the page I didn't understand. I thought maybe it was Hebrew so I threw that in as well.

A previous page quotes Alice in Wonderland: "in my going out altogether, like a candle"

So what was the password?
