Wikipedia is not a scholarly site and not accepted by college professors because content can be edited, according to the founder of Wikipedia. You're gonna have to step it up a notch if you want to compete around here. A secure site for a source is your task.
This source is credible. Take your time, VoZ. You might also study the Book of Acts in the Bible.

Are you retarded? Did your beloved Christ even speak Greek? Or did he speak Aramaic and possibly Hebrew, that is, if he were in fact real? What about the Twelve Apostles, word on the street is that they too spoke either Aramaic and or Hebrew. I understand that there are opposing points of views, scholars disagreeing and all, but I'd like to think you fellas have been following the words of Jesus, not an interpreted Greek version of the word of Jesus, more so the Sryiac Peshitta is kinda like a clue...
Just because you say it's so, doesn't mean it's so, it works both ways, just because I say it's so doesn't make it so, however, if you're gonna go with the Greeks version of what language the New Testament was written in, then you've been duped in more ways than one.
VoZ is having a really really bad day.
"The New Testament, however, was written in Greek. This seems strange, since you might think it would be either Hebrew or Aramaic. However, Greek was the language of scholarship during the years of the composition of the New Testament from 50 to 100 AD. The fact is that many Jews could not even read Hebrew anymore, and this disturbed the Jewish leaders a lot! So, around 300 BC a translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek was undertaken, and it was completed around 200 BC. Gradually this Greek translation of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, was widely accepted and was even used in many synagogues. It also became a wonderful missionary tool for the early Christians, for now the Greeks could read God's Word in their own tongue."
