I found a quote here where Martin Luther states that the NT was written in greek.
anyone know how he arrived at this conclusion?
Martin Luther, in the year of 1524 wrote,
"In the measure that we love the Gospel, let us place a strong emphasis on the languages. For it was not without reason that God wrote the Scriptures in two [primary] languages, the Old Testament in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. Those languages which God did not despise, but rather chose above all others for His Word, are the languages which we also should honor above all others. It is a sin and a shame that we do not learn the languages of our Book."
