Ordering the Gospels

Ordering the Gospels is an issue worth revisiting, because the current order is based on at least two historical misunderstandings:[1]
- that the Gospel of Mark relied on the Gospel of Matthew, when basic analysis shows the opposite to have been true;
- that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic, which modern scholars, often prone to liberal bias in contradicting the apostolic record of the ante-Nicene Fathers, reject while observing that its terminology is uniquely Greek (such as his use of "hypocrite"[2])
