A:
The word synoptic means 'seen with the same eye'. The synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke not only agree moderately well on the story of Jesus, but when laid in parallel and viewed synoptically can be seen to have a close literary relationship. New Testament scholars have established that Mark was the first gospel to be written, and that Matthew and Luke were substantially based on it, with Matthew containing some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, often in exactly the same words in the Greek language.
Answer

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.
