Hassan Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I would also like to provoke Resurrexi by pointing out that Matthew was neither the first Gospel written nor originally composed in Aramaic. Despite that the Pontifical Biblical Commission may say. BAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest testimony from the Fathers states that Matthew was written in Aramaic and was written before the other three Gospels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus te Amat Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I want to add that we were taught both views in my Bible class at my traditionally Catholic University. The biggest thing is that we just don't know. There is evidence and proof for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
