 If so, Mark's source is not the other two Synoptics but Peter—unless Peter himself drew from them, as some propose.The curious statement that Matthew's "logia" (as Papias calls it) was written in the "Hebrew dialect"—the ordinary way of referring to either the Hebrew or the Aramaic language—has been much discussed.The difficulty is that canonical Matthew is in Greek and does not appear to be a translation, nor is any such original Hebrew version known.
