The spoken language of the time was Aramaic, Greek, and Latin. But Hebrew would have still have been a known literary language.

I’m thinking that Hebrew at the time was more for the intellect and Aramaic being the common language?

The four basic languages of Europe were Latin, Greek, German and Celtic (central Europe). The latter group of people were pushed out of Europe towards the west.
THEY ended up in Ireland and that language can still be heard today on the Emerald Isle. It's like nothing you've ever heard.

We had a guide through Ireland. He father was Irish and his mother was Chinese. WEIRD lookin' cat. Two Irish women commented on him and hadn't a CLUE that he understood them.
He answered them in Gaelic and they almost fainted from shock. :o)
Ya never know.
