where is the proof?
#3
Some seem to believe that the hypothetical "Q" document (the source of the Synoptic Gospels) was an Aramaic document composed of sayings of Jesus. Some believe John's source was a "Signs Gospel". There is, without a doubt, an Aramaic layer underneath our presently existing Greek versions, made evident by Aramaic wordplay found when translating the Greek text back into Aramaic. A scholarly reconstruction of these hypothetical documents can be found in The Complete Gospels by Robert J. Miller. I firmly believe that Q would be the notes of Jesus's disciples, some of whom later wrote organized Gospels in Aramaic by the leading of God's Holy Spirit.

The strongest evidence of Aramaic primacy is that the primary language of the Messiah and his earliest followers was Aramaic in various dialects. Jesus conversed with and taught Aramaic speakers from Galilee, Judea, Samaria, and even Syria. The Peshitta, whether it is the original or simply a faithful witness to an Aramaic original, contains many wordplays and puns, as well as Semetic poetry. The Peshitta is unusual in it's smooth language and poetic style, which is difficult to achieve with translations. The strongest evidence for an Aramaic ancestor to the Greek New Testament is polysemy, which is when a word can be translated in multiple ways and the various translations of the source text reflect it with multiple readings. Brother Steve has uncovered additional phenomena in his reconstruction of Jesus's native Galilean Aramaic dialect.
