Re: Gospel of John
The Gospel of Matthew was written in Greek, although there are indications that some concepts were translated from the aremeic.
On the other hand, while it is speculated that the GOspel of Matthew was written in Aremeic, many doubt it, because no one every mentions they saw a copy, even the most earlist references to Matthew.

Re: I wonder if there is a Fee attached?
Oh, I am sure they studied the bible. However, they have to make convoluted explanations for reconciling different passages.
I love the way they try to reconcile how Judas died with the stories
between Matthew and Luke, .. absolutely insane.
And the way they try to reconcile the geneologies between Matthew and Luke is really inventive, but does not fit the hebrew culture of the time, nor does it fit Jewish law, nor does it fit the text of the Gospels themselves.

Re: Hmm this may not be what you are looking for
In my reading of John, I can make a good case that John feels that Jesus is the 'one who is sent', rather than God. There seems to be a strong seperation from the concept of 'The one who is sent' verses God.
As for the begining of 'Logos', if you look at it from the viewpoint of "logos" being "god's wisdom" (somewhat along the lines of how Philo Judas used it), rather than God, you can still make a very good case for
John not saying that Jesus is God, but rather "god's wisdom" being delivered to earth in the flesh.
