Jesus spoke Aramaic and probably Greek

You got that right, Mark.

Thus Jesus and his nearest disciples spoke Aramaic and taught in it (see Dalman, "Die Worte Jesu"). [Jewish Encyclopedia]

Very informative and well worth a read.

As are the Greek scriptures wherein the word "Aramaic" is never found but the word "Hebrew/Hebraisti" is all over the place as the language that Jesus spoke, taught in, spoke to Paul in from heaven, that Paul spoke to the Jews of Jerusalem in, and that was thus inscribed on the cross.

Even your link here proves that your argument of the last few days was and is hollow. Aramaic was not Hebrew and Hebrew was not Aramaic [also known as Syriac]. They were related but not the same. Cousins are related by also not the same.

Proof is also found in the claim of the early church fathers that Matthew's Gospel was originally written in Hebrew [Hebraisti], then translated into Greek and then into Aramaic [Syriac, specifically Peshitta Syriac].

If no Jew spoke Hebrew or understood it, then how was he able to accomplish the task or why would he have done so in Hebrew if no one was going to be able to read it.
