Hi B-Greekers,
Someone has asked a question and I wonder what your answer would be. The
question is: How do we know that the New Testament wasn't translated from a
common language of the day (Aramaic and Hebrew) to the Greek which was in
turn translated into Latin and then German, English, etc.?
Thanks in advance for any answers to the question.
