The apostles were probably bilingual: Aramaic and Greek.

There is no evidence I’m aware of that any of them spoke Latin, with of course the notable exception of Paul, a Roman citizen. Some may also have had some Hebrew.

Christ himself no doubt was fluent in any language he chose to use. :)

I would imagine more than just a few jews of the time spoke Hebrew.
