Obviously I was a bit unclear.  I should have said that, when the greek
texts choose to quote Jesus IN A LANGUAGE OTHER THAN GREEK, they use aramaic.
An example which springs to mind is when Jesus says the first line of Psalm
27 on the cross (I believe it's in John).

Any reputable version will show this quite vividly.
