>>As you probably know, a fragment from the work of Papias (c. 110 AD) states that Matthew was originally written in Aramaic or Hebrew,<<

I didn't ask for hearsay. Nor do I base my beliefs on hearsay. Prove that Matthew was first written in either Hebrew or Aramaic. Surely you believe God would be able to have preserved what He promised. There is no proof even of what Papias remark meant. The entire supposition of an original Matthew written in Hebrew is just that, supposition based on an unclear comment by Papias. To promote it as fact is ridiculous.

Prove that Matthew was first written in either Hebrew or Aramaic.

Prove that he didn't.
