Contained with in the Greek text of the New Testament are many Hebrew words and phrases that have been transliterated from the Hebrew language into the Greek language. While many of these have been described as being "Aramaic," there is no textual evidence to suggest that these are Aramaic rather than Hebrew.
In the book of Matthew (27:46) is the phrase "Eli eli lema sabachthani" (eli eli lama sabachtani). This is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew "אלי אלי למה שבקתני" (eli eli lama shabaqtani) meaning "my God my God why have you left me."
