Gospel of Luke

[vicmoussa]

just something interesting, Zechariah in Hebrew translates as Yah(Yahweh) remembers, Elizabeth in Hebrew translates as God’s oath, John in Hebrew translates as Yahweh has been Gracious
When the begining of Luke (chap1-2) are translated into aramic it becomes very poetic, which begs the question, do you think that the Gospel of Luke, or at least the begining of it, was originally written in aramaic?

While there is a tradition that Matthew wrote in Hebrew/Aramaic and while a few people think that a portion of Mark may derive from an Aramaic source, personally I think it’s less likely in the case of Luke-Acts.

i find that when translated from Greek into aramaic, there are alot of word plays within Matthew employs a bit more typological material, which gets lost when it is in its greek form.
same thing with the begining of Luke, not the whole Gospel, just the begining 2 chapters are like this
what if i was to ask if its a poossibility that the Aramaic Matthew was the source that St Mark used when writing his Gospel?

If I may hazard a guess, I’m guessing that needles, camels and cables have something to do here.

Possible, and in fact many people have proposed exactly just this*, but to be honest we’ll have a bit of difficulty trying to give a concrete evidence for that, since said source (the Logia, as Papias - our earliest recorded source for this tradition) no longer exists.

• The idea of a ‘Sayings source’ called Q (shorthand for Quelle ‘source’) actually developed from the idea that Matthew’s Hebrew/Aramaic Logia was the source for the canonical gospels. Even today in German, Q is sometimes called Logienquelle.

I’ve had some people suggest that Luke was a Samaritan.

Sure. Why not?
