Bible Note: Greetings Nolan! Honestly, I don't have the resources to properly respond to these points. I definitely agree that Matthew was written in Hebrew first. However, it is the Greek version which was distributed widely and early. The only Hebrew version we have date from between the 4th and 7th centuries (I think!). Further, some of these points are disputed or could be explained as "corrections" of the Greek text. I checked the Greek text on all of the points above and there are no variant readings on any of them. However, I don't have any copies of the Hebrew text of Matthew. Plus, my Hebrew is so rusty, I doubt I could follow it anyway. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
