Subject: Was NT Written in Greek or Hebrew? 1 |
Bible Note: Hello kalos, "Curiouser and curiouser..." That Hebrew/Aramaic was in use during the time of Christ and shortly after is well known. To use it during the siege of Jerusalem would have guaranteed that all understand the surrender. And to use it during a revolt would have been good strategy akin to using the Navajo radiomen during WWII. At the same time Greek and Latin were in wide use as well. Look at the inscription on Jesus' cross. As for Luke, I've read good commentaries that suggested he was from Macedonia or Ephesus. Who knows? Steve |
