Shlomo,
Here's a quote from the Catholic Navarre Bible St Matthew Texts and commentaries: "Written testimonies going back as early as the beginning of the second century assure us that St Matthew was first to write down the Gospel of Jesus Christ "in the language of the Hebrews".
Are you denying St Papias who in the year 130AD claimed an Aramaic St Matthew origin?
The Catholic Church as well as others have claimed an Aramaic origin to the Matthew Gospel.
poosh bashlomo,
