I didn’t realize Greek was the standard language of Jerusalem at the time of Christ; especially given the mixture of Roman soldiers and fervent Hebrews. I guess one learns something new every day. I can go back to bed now

Not so fast, HD! :) When you find Hebrew originals of the Gospels then we will go by their constructs. In the meantime we will have to follow the Greek system. I believe we all that the NT was choesn to be in Greek. Why is there so much resistence in the Protestant community to this?

Excuse me but aren’t you the one who is always claiming the gospels were not written down for the first 300 years? It was all by oral recital. If that is the case, what they spoke makes no difference at all because it was never recorded until the Greeks came along.
