I didn't say that, you did....I said probably speaking Aramaic....possibly Hebrew but probably not Greek.
Just out of curiosity, why did people, in a minute village in Israel, have to know 3 languages????
Very close proximity to Cesarea for those in Galilee, and generally being right in the middle of a narrow strip of land that joins continents, and so was heavily travelled by the Romans, Greeks, and others. Israel was an occupied country. You couldn't get by as a merchant if you couldn't talk to your potential customers.
Also remember when Jesus was crucified, the sign calling Him King of the Jews was posted in those three languages. Right in the heart of Israel, Jerusalem. I've been there. It's a small country. Lots of cross-connecting between various people groups, even now. But now of course they all speak English. Latin not so much. :)
Peace,

Like I said before; this stuff just writes itself.
