Fred:
 
A well crafted argument for one or more of the extant canonical Gospels  
having a Hebrew vorlage. Matthew or Mark would make more sense than Luke,  
wouldn't it?
 
-t.

1.  Pretermitting the veracity of the statements, the new testament  
("n.t.")
nonetheless recites its purpose to communicate the good news to  the jewish
people of judah, first and foremost. Matthew 10:5-6; Romans  1:16.
2. I cannot imagine the hebrew people in a synagogue in jerusalem in  100
a.d., responding with favor to the following scenario. A Christ  missionary
arrives and begins to preach by first holding up and reading  from an Isaiah
hebrew scroll; and then holding up and reading from a  Matthew greek scroll;
all the while pronouncing a new and improved truth  based on the greek
language document. The greeks you will recall desecrated  the temple and
tortured the hebrews during the maccabean period. Certainly,  the massive
talmud that followed the n.t., period was authored in hebrew,  never in
greek. The hebrews just do not appear inclined towards greek  language in
their sacred documents, then or  now.
