Interesting background material. Are you planning on seeing the movie?
To: freebilly
Yes. In fact I was hoping to hear for the first time Koine Greek being spoken in The Passion. Koine was the world wide Greek dialect spoken at that time and while I have read in it I have never heard it spoken in conversations. So I am kind of bummed from a historian's angle that he may not have this important language in the movie. His website for this movie does not have this language and Greek was one of the 3 languages that proclaimed Jesus, King of the Jews in a plaque nailed overhead. That is unforgivable. Did he do this because Gibson's breakaway Catholic branch is hostile to the Greek church? It could be.
