It is claimed the original Gospel of Matthew was written in Hebrew, not Greek.
Today, Bible Scholars can offer evidences, both linguistic and historical, for
Shem Tob's Matthew coming from an earlier Hebrew text, which was later translated into Greek.
Matthew, Greek or Hebrew. Which came first?
Papias, an early Christian author in 100 AD stated: "Matthew wrote the words in the Hebrew dialect, and each one interpreted as he could" in Eusebius Ecclesiastical History 3.39.
The Wycliffe Bible Commentary: Matthew, Pfeiffer, C.F
It is believed by a formidable number of critics that Matthew was originally written in what is loosely called Hebrew, but more correctly Aramaic, or Syro-Chaldaic, the native tongue of the country at the time of our Lord; and that the Greek Matthew we now possess is a translation of that work, either by the Evangelist himself or some unknown hand.
The evidence on which this opinion is grounded has been deemed conclusive by Grotius, Michaelis, Michaelis translator, Marsh, Townson, Campbell, Olshausen, Creswell, Meyer, Ebrard, Lange, Davidson, Cureton, Tregelles, Webster and Wilkinson.
A Commentary, Critical and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, Matthew, Jamieson, Fausset, Brown
Five individuals stated, in effect, that Matthew wrote in Aramaic and that translations followed in Greek: Papias (80-155 AD), Irenaeus (130-202 AD), Origen (185-254 AD), Eusebius (4th century AD) and Jerome (6th century AD)
The Bible Knowledge Commentary, Walvoord, J.F
Early Christian tradition held the view that Matthew was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic, not in Greek
New Bible Commentary, Matthew, Carson, D.A
All of the ancient writers, whose extant writings allude to the question, represent Matthew as having written a narrative in Hebrew; but not one of them claims to have seen it except Jerome, and he subsequently expresses doubt as to whether the book which he saw under this name was the genuine Matthew.
Matthew, J.W McGarvey, p8
We next hear of Irenaeus in the second half of the first century, who writes that Matthew issued "a gospel" in Hebrew at the time when Peter and Paul were preaching and founding the church in Rome (about 64-65 AD).
R.C.H Lenski, Gospel of Matthew, p 11-19
Pantaenus (180 AD) claims to have seen a Hebrew Gospel by Matthew in southern Arabia, which was brought there by Bartholomew.
R.C.H Lenski, Gospel of Matthew, p 11-19
Origen (185 AD) stated that Matthew was the first to write and that he composed and issued a Gospel in Hebrew for the Jewish believers.
R.C.H Lenski, Gospel of Matthew, p 11-19
Matthew: Comparing Greek with Hebrew
* Based on an hypothesis the logia of Papias formed an entire Hebrew Gospel, originating from Matthew's pen in the years 64-67 AD and was translated into Greek by an unknown writer in the year 90 or thereabouts.
