The [Hebraic Roots Bible](http://www.coyhwh.com/en/bible.php) makes the claim,
> The original New Testament was not written in Greek, but Aramaic.
I thought that only the Gospel of Matthew might have been written in Aramaic, and that the rest of the NT was originally written in Greek.
There is also the strange claim that the name Yahshua (Jesus) appears in the Old Testament:
> There are also almost 100 scriptures in the Tanach (Old Testament) that personify our Savior’s name. Due to the fact that most translations do not use our Savior’s original Hebrew name they totally miss this fact.
This is impossible because the Old Testament was written before Jesus was famous. Perhaps the word in these passages that the Hebraic Roots Bible translates as Yahshua should be translated as a simple word, not a name, as it is in other translations.
