You are persistent but unfortunately not very original nor able to provide references. As my primary objective is to gain your soul to Jesus I offer you first two viewpoints from the perspective of Bible study and thereafter the actual issue, God's Word.

1. We are well aware of claims that state that a Hebrew text would be the original of NT, too. To demonstrate this, other atheists have tried various strategies including this apparent discrepancy. They point out apparent semitisms in the texts of Mark and Matthew, not Luke, though (they always complement his Greek). You must remember that the degree of education was not similar to all authors during the antiquity, either (as we can see here between you and our more educated members). To demonstrate the Hebrew original, it would have to be somewhere as an older manuscript than the Greek ones and, please, don't give me the "Q" or (God forbid) the Peshitta (which is in Aramaic). The sources are, thus, fictional or hypothetical whereas the Greek manuscripts are real tangible objects in libraries. They almost always agree. Which ones should we trust? Real or made-up texts?

A good treatise of the issue by Mr. Warner states:
Quote:
The Hebrew New Testament proponents would have us trust them to fix the faulty Scriptures, by relying on their supposed knowledge of Jewish customs and figures of speech. In short, we need to sit at the feet of rabbis in order to understand what was written. But, by editing the text of the New Testament to conform to so-called Jewish thought only leads AWAY from the message preserved by the providence of God. God promised to preserve His Word for every generation [Psalm 12:6,7 Matt. 24:35]. God kept His word! The Traditional Greek text of the New Testament is reliable. Any changing [regardless of motive] of what has been preserved by God is a blatant violation of the commandment found in the last chapter of Revelation. Those who remove words that God has preserved in His Word, will be removed from the “Book of Life,” and those who add to His words, to them God will add the plagues.
Another relatively useful and albeit simplified explanation is available in AiG (I am, however, a bit reluctant to rely on their liberal views).

Still another good discussion is available in Apologetics press as follows
Quote:
It is not until one peruses the pages of Jeremiah that one sees the striking resemblance, first to Zechariah, and then to Matthew’s narrative. Zechariah’s allusion to the potter harks back to the imagery and symbolism of Jeremiah. But Matthew’s allusion to the potter’s field harks back to Jeremiah—not Zechariah. So Matthew was demonstrating the overriding superintendence of the Holy Spirit, Who was combining and summarizing elements of prophetic symbolism both from Zechariah and from Jeremiah.
2. I must also assess your strategy. What you are doing is raising the bar without acknowledging your previous failures. You started by mocking the KJV as a translation. As it was demonstrated that all the later translations agree, you moved the goalposts to the Greek original by claiming that to be flawed. This is discursive strategy that combined with the missing references is, in my experience, very effective among high-school kids but, dear child, it does not work here. This leads to the next step...

3. What you are actually attempting is becoming crystal clear now. You are trying to undermine Trust in the Bible. Some translations (Peshitta as the most abhorrent example) have in logical desperation tried to fix "errors" in God's word. They do not refer to Jeremiah nor Zechariach but only a "prophet". This is in direct opposition to God's orders.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

What you are doing is exactly this, diminishing God's word. I do not say that this in intentional, as you might be sincere in your skewed fantasy.

Don't you see that it is a simple TEST? An ingenious one. God can easily distinguish between True Believers™ and heathens by placing apparent "contradictions" in His text. We just have to Trust that everything he dictated in true and beautiful. Fear, trust, love, follow and first and foremost accept His Word as IT IS with no modifications.

He has also WARNED that He might try strategies such as apparent "errors". He CAN deceive and He has done so previously when fighting against His enemies.

Jeremiah 4:10
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

Isaiah 66:4
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

2 Thessalonians 2:11

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Can't you see? This is what has happened to you. You have failed the test to TRUST God and you have believed delusions. Hopefully, it is not too late for you to repent...

...but it might be. As God's Word, the Bible, was transmitted via the Holy Ghost, I am afraid that you might, just might have blasphemed against the HOLY GHOST (Matthew 12:31-31), which is, of course, the End...

God does not have to play your game of petty "errors" and "contradictions". He just IS. You can start by this verse. It is mind-blowing. It tells you all you need to know at the moment.

Exodus 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THATI AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer
