"The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread." (1 Cor 10:16-17)

The Dialect that Matthew Wrote and the Gospel of Matthew
Hmm.. my mistake. While it is widely held that Matthew wrote originally in Aramaic [Papias, Jerome, Irenaeus, Nicephorus], the gospel of Matthew we have today is not a translation from Aramaic (apart from Hebrew expressions written, not translated, in Greek). What the heck does that mean? It means that what we have now is not directly translated from what Matthew originally wrote (in Aramaic).
