Not exactly. The language spoken at the time of those events was Aramaic
but the gospel writers wrote their accounts in Greek, because that would
ensure a wider circulation at the time. So I stand by my claim that the
NT comes to us in Greek.

The gospel writers wrote somewhat after the events, and from memory,
Matthew was the latest, a century or more. So maybe the words really
were 'blessed are the cheesemakers' or 'blessed are they who fall in
syrup', or some of Erisa's suggestions.
