How do you know that the New Testament was originally in Greek?
The Old Testament was not in Greek.
Just curious about your assumption when you consider that if it was written in Greek, it was written in the second language of those who authored it.
Greek was the language of that day. Aramaic and Koine greek and Attic Greek are found in different books of the new testament in earliest manuscripts.
Old Testament, obviously in Hebrew, or the flaming language.
Interestingly, before I studied any Hebrew, I had dreams where Hebrew characters were presented to me as well as some in Greek and Aramaic. Go figure.
I never said the original New Testament was in Greek.
The Amplified Bible is a literal Greek translation of the original Hebrew text.
I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
However, remember that Luke was Greek - and his Gospel might have originally been in Greek. Also .. Paul spoke several languages .. and while I’d have to research it - Greek was a known language of Paul’s time and I believe he spoke that language, along with Hebrew and Latin.
