Bible Question: I read somewere that Matthew may have been written in Hebrew, and translated into Greek. Is this the case? |
Bible Answer: I have read that; in fact, the source (which I don't recall off-hand) said that something like a dozen experts have each on their own re-translated the Greek into Hebrew and found that it worked quite well. It also makes sense: if you were writing a Gospel to appeal to the Jews in that day and age and had structured the book along the lines of the Pentateuch what language would you write it in? |
