The first Gospel, Mark, was first committed to paper 40 years after Jesus's crucifiction, in Rome, in ancient Greek. Jesus spoke Aramaic. The other three Gospels were written after Mark.
Whether you believe that the Gospels are Jesus's Word or not is irrelevant to this question; I'm just wondering how many people know that the Gospels were transmitted orally and translated into a different language for many years before the first Gospel, Mark, was committed to paper in Rome, which is hundreds of miles from Jerusalem?
