Was Matthew's Gospel originally written in Aramaic?
Most scholars believe that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Greek, as this was the common language of the time. While some early church fathers suggested an Aramaic original, there is no strong evidence to support this claim.
Who wrote Saint Matthew's Gospel?
The Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Matthew does not identify its author. For many decades after it was written, probably in the 80s CE, it was not attributed to any specific author. In the middle of the second century, it was felt that the author must have been one of the disciples, because of his apparently intimate knowledge of the life of Jesus. The disciple called Matthew was decided on as the most likely author because, as a tax collector, he would have been well educated.However, we now know that the author of this Gospel copied most of his information about the life of Jesus from Mark's Gospel. The author did not have any first hand knowledge of the life of Jesus and therefore the author could not have been the disciple called Matthew. We are back in the position where we do not know the name of the author.What we can say is that the author of Matthew's Gospel was literate in the Greek language and very familiar with the (Septuagint) Greek version of the Hebrew Bible. His native language may have been Greek, but this is not certain.

Similarities between Luke and Mathew?
A:In the original Greek language, Matthew, Mark and Luke have quite a few passages in common. This occurs because, as we now know, the authors of Matthew and Luke actually copied much of their material from Mark. For example, Matthew contains some 600 of the 666 verses in Mark, often in exactly the same words in the Greek language. Of course, differences in translation to Latin and then English obscure this, and it could depend on which version of the Bible you use, which passages seem common.

Who wrote Matthew's Gospel and who was he writing to?
A:It is easy to believe that because the book is known as Matthew's Gospel, it must have been written by the disciple Matthew and therefore written by a Jew to his fellow Jews in Palestine. That has been th Christian consensus for centuries. However, although this disciple would have known Aramaic and, possibly Hebrew, Matthew was written in Greek, a strange choice if he wanted to communicate with Palestinian Jews for whom Greek was a foreign language that many would not even have understood, as well as being a symbol of foreign domination. In fact, the attribution to Matthew, and therefore the name 'Matthew's Gospel', comes from the second century. Before then, the gospel was unsigned and anonymous. So we do not know who the author was, nor to whom the author was writing.
What year was the Greek language founded?
