THE NEW TESTAMENT 
WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN HEBREW
and NOT Greek or Aramaic

 
…….

Are there any proofs that the original language
of the New Testament  was Hebrew, and not Greek or Aramaic?”  The answer is “Yes!  
……
There most definitely are many: 
there are both internal and external proofs.
…….

“The New Covenant’s original language was neither 
Greek nor Aramaic, as popular wisdom goes, 
but rather in Hebrew, the same Hebrew language 
that the Tanakh, the “Old Testament”, was written in.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University
…….

“The New Testament WAS originally written in Hebrew.
As the following scholars agree – Bivan, Blizzard, 
Grant, Loisy, Schonefield, Trimm, Minge, Segal, Dam, 
etc. They all raise the flag regarding the New Testament
as being originally written in Hebrew and NOT Greek or
Aramaic.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University

…….

“Not only is it logical that it should be Hebrew,
 since Yahushua and his disciples were from a 
Hebrew speaking country, but there are many internal 
and external proofs that reinforce this logic.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University
…….

“Furthermore, Yahushua was living in Judea, 
surrounded by Jewish disciples, who had as their 
sacred text a Tanakh, written almost entirely in 
Hebrew,”  
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University,
…….

PROOF  FOUND  WITHIN 
THE  SCRIPTURES  THEMSELVES

…….
Luke 23:38: “And a superscription also was written 
over him in letters of Hebrew,
 THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

…….

IF Yahushua and the Jews spoke ARAMAIC, as many have 
been misled to believe, why is not Aramaic listed rather than Hebrew?
After all, this sign was written for the vast majority of Israelis, 
including the common folk.  Just this single scriptural proof alone 
is overwhelmingly compelling that Hebrew was very much alive 
and still in use in Israel at that time. …….

“Hebrew was still very much alive during 
The Messiah’s earthly ministry and afterwards.  
Whom should one trust: man, who has attempted to 
beguile many or scripture and Yahushua Christ Himself?
And obviously Saul (later known as the Apostle Paul), 
understood Hebrew, who was educated at the feet of a
Hebrew speaking scholar.  This added proof that Hebrew 
was very active in Israel during the times of Yahushua
Christ and beyond.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University 

“At Matthew 5:18: Christ said “…not a jot/”yoot” 
nor a tittle will pass…”  Both of these refer to 
the Hebrew alphabet.  Why would Yahushua Christ refer 
to Hebrew with an audience who supposedly spoke Aramaic,
and thus would not have understood Him? (obviously his
audience spoke Hebrew).”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University

…….
 OTHER  PROOF

…….

“Why would YHWH inspire the disciples of Christ 
to write Yahushua’s biography and teachings in a 
language that the Jews hated, and that the apostles 
could not have known, since they were all Jewish? 
Does not make sense, does it? Well, truth is, 
HE did not.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University
…….

“What was the language of ordinary life of educated 
native Jews in Jerusalem and Judaea in the period 
from 400 BCE to 150 CE? The evidence presented by 
Mishnaic Hebrew and its literature leaves no doubt 
that that language was Mishnaic Hebrew.” 
– The Companion Bible,
 E. W. Bullinger, (Appendix 94)
…….

“Hebrew continued to be used as a spoken and written 
language even after the fourth century, including the 
New Testament period.”
-The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church
 third edition, in 1997

…….
 THE  FOUR GOSPELS
and The BOOK OF MATTHEW – 
…….
“Matthew put down the words of the Lord 
in the Hebrew language, and others have translated 
them, each as best he could.”
-Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, c. 150 A.D
…….

“Matthew, indeed, produced his Gospel written 
among the Hebrews in their own dialect.” 
– Irenaeus (120-202 A.D.) 
Bishop of Lions, France

…….

“There were debates raging concerning the 
destruction of the scrolls of the New Testament,
because they contain the divine Name of God in
Hebrew (YHWH).”  This debate clearly documents 
that the gospels were written in Hebrew in early 
church history.
-the Babylonian Talmud (Shabbat 116a), 
the Jerusalem Talmud (Shabbat 15c), 
 and the Tosefta (Shabbat 13:5).

…….

“The first Gospel composed in the Hebrew language, 
was written by Matthew…for those who came to faith 
from Judaism.”
-Origen (225 A.D.)

…….

“Matthew had first preached to the Hebrews, 
and when he was about to go to others also, 
he transmitted his Gospel in writing in his 
native language”  
– (Ecclesiastical History III 24, 6)

…….
“Matthew collected and wrote the oracles 
in the Hebrew language” 
-(Ecclesiastical History, III, 39, 16).

…….

“both the Church Fathers as well as the recently
discovered Dead Sea Scrolls state quite clearly 
and without any equivocation that Hebrew WAS the 
language spoken and written at the time of the
Messiah and his Disciples.”
-Hebrew New Testament
by, Dr.  D. Briggs, Ph.D., Walden University

…….

“the issue of the New Testament being written 
in Greek or Aramaic was non-existent prior to 
the Fourth or Fifth Century A.D.  It has been 
a rather modern theory based upon anti-semitism
which is a hatred of anything Jewish.”
-Hebrew New Testament

구약은 히브리어(일부 페르시아어로), 신약은 헬라어로만 알고 있습니댜마는....

[하토브.]

대부분 로마제국, 로마 카톨릭이 이스라엘을 꺾어버리고 흔적을 지우려는 의도로, 이스라엘 땅도 팔레스타인으로 138AD 부터 바꾸어 버렸습니다. 신약성경도 아마 많은 부분이 히브리어로 쓰였지만, 그것을 모두 없애는데 주력하였고, 남은 것은 헬라어, 페쉬타 아람어 사본 등이 남아 있습니다.이 글에서는 신약이 모두 히브리어로 쓰였다고 주장합니다만, 고린도서나 골로새서 등은 헬라어로 쓰였을 수 있습니다.
히브리서는 페르샤. 예멘, 이티오피아 등 멀리 흩어져 있는 히브리인들에게 쓴 편지였습니다. 세계 각국에 흩어져 있는 한국인들에게 편지를 쓸때에, 영어가 세계적으로 많이 쓰인다고 하여 한국 동포여러분에게를 영어로 쓰겠습니까? 더구나 자헬라어의 보급력이나 장악력은 오늘날 영어보다는 약한 것이었다고 믿어집니다. 따라서 히브리서는 히브리어로 쓰였다고 봐야 합니다. 그것을 잘못 번역한 까닭에, 창세기 47장31절에서는 야곱이 침대 머리에 기대어 유언하였고, 히브리서 11장21절에서는 지팡이에 의지하여 유언하였다고 하는데, 지팡이와 침대의 히브리어 단어는 자음은 같고 모음만 틀립니다. 그외에도 많은 증거들이 있습니다.

네~
감사합니다!
