Hi, everyone,
I was surprised to see that old bromide about "Aramaic, Greek..."
referring to the language spoken at the time of Yeshuah/Jesus. The Greek
TR says HEBRAISTI. Eusebius, Epiphanious, Irenaeus, Origen, the Bishop
Papias, Jerome, and others, wrote (more of less the same):"Matthew
wrote his gospel in the Hebrew language..." (Im quoting offhand).
One of those quotations would be enough to dispel any doubts, let alone
six of them, including the Word of God. There were some Aramaisms,
surely, and some Greek borrowed words, but surely one can seen the Hebrew
syntax under the surface ("And...And...And behold...)
What do you think?
