There's no dispute among scholars that Aramaic was the language of Jesus and his disciples.
Where the scholars don't agree is that the New Testament was originally written in Aramaic. However, the Assyrian Church of the East claims to have and use the original NT in Aramaic.
This has to be disturbing to those that hold that the Bible is inerrant, cuz we can't then get to the original to prove that what we have today is inerrant. If the NT was first written in Aramaic inerrancy can't be proven.
