Hi!
Have any of you guys heard about the claim that the New Testament would have been written in hebrew after all and only later translated into greek? Would you support that claim, and what would be the evidence for or against it?
In a way, to me, it would make sense that it were that way because Jesus and the disciples spoke hebrew and the whole community wad basically hebrew... Save for the roman influence of course. Also, I'm not an expert on biblical greek so I wouldn't know but I've heard that a lot of the language in the NT is less than perfect, which could be more plausible if it were translated maybe? But then of course there's the issue that the majority of NT text findings. I'm not really aware of them either, are there any early hebrew NT texts?
