On Matthew

Matthew writing in Hebrew constructions shows Papias is correct, that Matthew wrote His gospel in Hebrew first. And Mark and Luke are not exactly like Matthew. I study the Greek in transliterated form. It’s more likely the similarities are from the same source, true, which is Jesus Christ. That’s the only determination to be made here, is that the similarities show they come from the same source. Not plagiarisms of earlier gospels, but from the man Jesus Himself. Q must be Christ.

Coincidentally, while researching this I’ve found many idioms and parallels to Hebrew constructions in Matthew, all from various sources. And also Matthew’s lack of punctuation, they say, shows a primary Hebrew manuscript. And his use of Hebrew Prophecies from the Old Testament. I even found one source, saying that Matthew is constructed in Aramaic Grammar. (Matthew Black)
