Jesus' final words are captured in Aramaic.

Only in one gospel. And its a quote from a psalm, not something original.

Hey. There are some that believe 3 of the 4 gospels were originally written in Hebrew. Not because of the existence of manuscripts but because there are idioms that don't make sense when translated to Greek but make perfect sense should they have been translated from Hebrew. If you want I'll post a couple of examples.

You don't think the Psalms were written in Aramaic, do you?

It shows that the language of Jesus was Aramaic, so it is not out of the question that some of the first writings about Him would be in the same language.
