Here we go again! You never did answer several persons' questions, on another recent thread, asking point-blank: Did Jesus speak Aramaic to the Apostles or not?

We're not so stupid that we don't know what language the New Testament was writte in! Indeed, Matthew's Gospel was originally written in either Hebrew or Aramaic, as there are far too many Semiticisms in it for things to be otherwise.

But you yourself seem to think the whole thing was written in Hebrew. You prove my point by insisting on Hebraicisms in many of your posts. For example, that the Holy Spirit be referred to as Ruach haKodesh. That, I submit, is NOT Greek.

I'd still like to hear your answer about the language spoken by Jesus in everyday conversation with both the Apostles and the common people He encountered in His ministry.

Don't bother. Just try and ignore him. I have, repeatedly, asked him NOT to ping me. He does anyways.

I think of his pings as preparation for Lent :)
