    No worries, I know you’re not being snarky!

    My impression is that Mark and to some extent Matthew were probably written by Helenized Jews who may have even spoken Greek as a second language. They were not part of Paul’s proto-church.

    But I really am not an expert. I will defer to you because I have the impression you are a bit more well read than me in this area.
