Many Christians believe that Mark's use of Aramaic words gives his Gospel an authentic and firsthand connection to Jesus, who likely spoke Aramaic. This is seen as increasing the credibility and authority of Mark's account of Jesus' life and teachings. Additionally, the use of Aramaic words adds depth and richness to the narrative, providing a cultural and linguistic context that enhances the readers' understanding of the text.
All Bible scriptures have authority for Christians. Since Mark's Gospel is also Holy Scripture inspired by God, it too has authority as God's word of truth.
The Gospel of Mark is generally accepted as being the first Gospel written. There is also a possibility that Matthew wrote an Aramaic version of his Gospel prior to the Greek version.

The Aramaic language is significant in the Gospel of Matthew because it reflects the cultural and linguistic context of Jesus and his followers. It provides insights into the original teachings and sayings of Jesus, as well as the early Christian community. The use of Aramaic adds depth and authenticity to the text, connecting readers to the historical and religious roots of Christianity.
Some denominations will rise for the Gospel reading as a mark of respect for and signifying the significance of the Gospel messages to Christians.
The purpose of Gospel music is to: 1. Uplift and encourage the Body of Christ (Christians). 2. To preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music in hopes of bringing salvation to non-believers 3. To entertain Christians and non-Christians alike with positive messages and values.
It's okay if they do.
