Was Matthew's Gospel originally written in Aramaic?
No, Matthew's Gospel was not written in Aramaic. Scholars tell us that it was written in Greek Koine. There are many explanations to show this, the most important being:Mark's Gospel was written in Greek. Mark was the principal source used by the author of Matthew, and whenever they agree, the words used are almost identical in the Greek language, which could only happen if Matthew was also written in Greek.The hypothetical 'Q' document was also written in Greek. It was a major source used by Matthew for sayings attributed to Jesus.When Matthew quotes Isaiah as supposedly prophesying that a virgin would have a baby, he was quoting from a flawed Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, the 'Septuagint'. The actual Hebrew text does not mention a virgin, but says, "the young woman" will have a baby. Thus, scholars know that when the author referred to the Old Testament, he was reading the Greek translation, evidence that he would have written in Greek.

How did Matthew write the Gospel?
A:It is a Christian tradition that because Matthew was a disciple of Jesus, he simply wrote down everything he learnt from Jesus. Some even say that Matthew's Gospel must have originally been written in Aramaic, even if we have no early Aramaic manuscripts. Matthew's Gospel was actually written anonymously and was not attributed to Matthew until later in the second century. Scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which means that Matthew could not have been the author.Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek, and scholars have shown that it was largely derived from Mark's Gospel, with additional material from the hypothetical 'Q' Document. Whenever Matthew agrees with Mark, the passages are surprisingly similar, often being written in exactly the same words in the Greek language. This could not have happened unless one of the gospels was being copied in Greek, and scholars are satisfied that Mark was indeed the original. Scholars are unable to identify any source for the material unique to Matthew, such as the nativity and resurrection accounts.
Why does Matthew present Jesus as the Jewish Messiah?
A:Tradition says that Matthew's Gospel was written by the disciple Matthew, and based on this it would seem that Matthew presented Jesus as the Jewish messiah because he learnt as a disciple to regard Jesus as the messiah.In fact, Matthew was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the disciple Matthew later in the second century. New Testament scholars have established that Matthew was actually based on Mark's Gospel, and includes around 90 per cent of the verses from Mark, often in exactly the same words in the Greek language. Matthew presents Jesus as the Jewish messiah because Mark had done so.
