Uh... the NT’s original language was Greek.

It was the OT that was Hebrew and Aramaic.

If you read the Greek carefully, and with understanding of the OT scriptures, you will soon see that it cannot be true.

They are mostly poorly translated from Hebrew, the only language in which any the apostles were literate.

None of the apostles even spoke Greek minimally. Do you recall the Centurian in the Acts asking Paul if he could speak Greek?

The Maccabee revolt spelled the total rejection of all things Greek in Judea, centuries earlier. Jews all spoke Hebrew.

The Greek translations were probably the product of 3rd and 4th century evangelism.
