Was the New Testament Really Written in Greek?

There is an abundance of evidence that Greek was not the original language of most, if not all of the New Testament. This is important to understand: since the Greek texts were a translation from either Hebrew or Aramaic, the Greek contains many errors that were introduced in the translation process. A great illustration of why this is so critical is Mark 7:19 where the Greek has Yeshua declaring all foods clean, contradicting verses like Matthew 5:17-19, Isaiah 66:3, Revelation 18:2, etc.

Mark 7:19 in the Aramaic AENT. Yeshua said He would not abolish the Law, and certainly He did not contradict Himself here.

I would highly recommend reading the Aramaic New Testament instead, which is based on much more accurate source material. Please email me if you’d like help finding the Aramaic New Testament.
