The dialogue is in Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic

Why not Greek?

Weren't most of the Gospels written in Greek... St Mark, St Luke, St John?

Is there any original quote from Jesus in Latin?

I've seen some sprinkligs of Aramaic in the Greek text of the gospels, and since Jesus was a Jew, he probably spoke Hebrew in certain occasions.

Nevertheless, the only direct quotes from Jesus appear in Greek texts, and perhaps Aramaic if St Matthew was originally written in Aramaic.

Why this avoidance of Greek?

[SQUID]

Well, hade the Greeks been mostly Catholic then you would have had no problem. Greek means Orthodox and Rome doesn't like that.

"Why this avoidance of Greek? "

Jesus didn't speak Greek? Hope it comes out in DVD soon. In the meantime, I'll read the Book in English. I imagine the Book is available in quite a few languages, including Greek.

Why this avoidance of Greek?

Uh, maybe because this is a portrayal of the passion of Christ at the time it happened, not at the time the gospels were written. You do know the gospels were not written concurrent with these events, but many years later, right?

Jesus Christ spoke Aramaic, not Hebrew!
