What was the New Testament written in?

Aramaic. The Aramaic copies (such as the Peshitta) are older than any greek. Additionally, the greek has many Aramaic words that merely became transliterated from the Aramaic instead of translated. Such as "amen", "anathema", "halleluyah", etc. Lastly, the NT was written in Aramaic/Hebrew prose with several Hebrew word "puns" that translate into terrible greek form. Also, the Aramaic corrects some bad greek translations like instead of "a camel through the eye of a needle" it says "a rope through the eye of a needle"


Is the strong's exhaustive concordance based on koine greek?

The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance gives the translation and biblical use of terms in the Old and New Testaments. Since the Old Testament was written in Aramaic and Hebrew, and the New in Koine Greek, the concordance uses all three.


The languages which the old and New Testaments were written in?

Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a slight variation of which is still spoken today. Parts of it (notably in the book of Daniel) are written Aramaic. Most of the New Testament is written in Koine Greek (which is not quite like ancient Greek from Homer or Aristotle but is also not like the Greek spoken today in Greece.) Some words in the New Testament are given in Aramaic, like "Talitha koum!" in Mark 5:41. The Aramaic language dates back a long ways and has undergone some changes, particularly because it was a widespread language at one time. However, the primary languages of the Bible are Hebrew and Koine Greek.


What language were the synoptic gospels written in?

A:The New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and modern biblical scholars say the second-century attributions to the apostles were speculative, rather than based on fact. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that, for example, Matthew's Gospel would have been written in Aramaic or Hebrew. The synoptic gospels were all written in Greek Koine, a dialect of Attic Greek. This can most readily be demonstrated by reading them in parallel in the original Greek language, when you will se that as the authors of Matthew and Luke copied from Mark, they often used exactly the same words in the Greek language. This would only be possible if they were working from a Greek copy of Mark and writing their new gospels out in the same language.
