"In Aramaic. And Jesus probably spoke Greek and some Latin.
I apologize if my comments offended you or anyone following this thread."

None taken.
I believe that Hebrew was spoken at temple and Aramaic was the common street language. Like a Catholic priest saying mass in Latin.

Sources differ somewhat and I haven't researched this in a long time.

What I remember is that the Jewish Bible in Hebrew appeared about the same time or after the Old Latin Bible of the early Christians.

That's why the apocrypha were included in the Old Latin Bible even though the Jews had removed them from their Bible.

Luther later agreed with the Jews and so the apocrypha don't appear in Protestant Bibles.
