How would you answer someone you says that the Greek was original because Mark quotes the aramaic and then translate the words into greek?
The exact wording of the person was "Jesus Himself spoke in Aramaic, but the Scriptures were written in Koine Greek. If you deny this, then explain this to me: "Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!")." (Mark 5:41) Why would Mark translate the Aramaic into Greek if it was written in Aramaic?"
