I want to go on record here that the Gospels were written in Hebrew, and later translated to Greek and Aram. The Hebrew and Aram MS were largely destroyed in great numbers when Rome sacked Israel, which is the primary reason for the dominance of Greek MS.

There are many corrupted Greek MS in this world, and I can see why you’d love them.

You wouldn't have any evidence for this, would you? I must say that you have a fascinating world view.

The oldest extant Hebrew manuscripts of the Gospels date to the 11th and 12th centuries. If you have any proof that Matthew, Mark, Luke or John wrote first in Henrew I would love to see it.

For the record, Aram is not a language. It is a region located in modern day Syria.
