Bummer dude, that Jesus didn't speak Greek, eh?

Oh really? You are limiting Jesus.

Come on, man, this is like Apologetics 101 stuff, and you're still playing the Petros-petra game? Amateur hour.

Too bad the New Testament was written in Greek isn't it? Who do you suppose caused those Scriptures to be recorded in Greek rather than Aramaic?

No, not really. Of course, Jesus could have spoke anything He wanted to, and do anything He wanted to for that matter. I didn't think that needed to be re-established. But in the world Jesus lived in, and with the people He interacted with, He would have been speaking Aramaic to His 12 apostles. They were all Jews from the same region.

As you say in a later post, if He was talking to Pontius Pilate, He most likely would have spoken Latin, the language of the Roman Empire and one of the languages of commerce. But Pilate wasn't an Apostle and He wasn't with Jesus when He proclaimed Peter the Rock.

That's great and all, but what does that have to do with what language Christ spoke. And in a way, aren't you contradicting your own argument that Christ also spoke Latin? By your logic, because the Bible was in Greek, He couldn't have spoken Latin to Pilate. He would have spoken Greek, according to that logic.

Hell, you might as well say Jesus spoke English because that's what is in our Bibles now. Hint: It's a translation.

Matthew and Mark are thought to have been written in Aramaic -- they were aimed at a Jewish audience. Luke was GReek and wrote in Greek to a Greek audience in Anatolia. John's Gospel was written in AD 90, when the majority of Christians were Gentiles, Greeks in the Greek states around Anatolia.
