Respectfully you are greatly misinformed. Although Jesus spoke Aramaic, the gospels were not written down by Jesus, or by others during Jesus’ lifetime.

Greek was the language of scholarship during the years of the recording of the New Testament from about 50 to 100 AD.The New Testament saints wrote in Greek but not the classical form but rather the common language called Koine Greek, the common dialect from 300 BC to 300 AD. There are several Greek language versions of the New Testament that approximate the original form of the New Testament books in Greek.
