Ooze,
The gospel of matthew is documented as being written in the hebrew language, the church fathers did document that for us.
Why didn't they talk about the rest though? There is oodles of first century writings to gleen from but the majority points to the western text family, and that was what was used during that time frame.
For some reason, there is a space of time missing here with the peshitta though. There seems to be nothing earlier than around 4th century. Everyone that was associated with 1st century history and documeted it for us, mentions nothing about it. People here have explained it as the text was hidden from the west at that time, yet there is nothing of the peshitta text dated prior to around the 3rd or 4th century in the areas that it was supposedly prominent.
I don't think we really know just how far removed the message was gonna be taken from the Jews and given to the gentiles. Maybe GOD was so thoroughly angered over their hardheadedness to the point that it was no longer gonna be given to society in the aramaic and hebrew language anymore. Actually that is the way it is at the moment, and has been for centuries. Not to anger people, but this is undeniable.
