the way you have stated it is incorrect. Peter was a Jewish fisherman not Palestinian and his native language was Hebrew not Aramaic. So -- get your facts straight before pontificating

Do you always make things up like this? Even a cursory check of facts would show you that you need your own medicine. The area where Peter lived is Plestine; it has nothing to do with being Jewish. The Jews of the 1st century AD spoke Aramaic, not Hebrew.

actually, the Jews of that time probably spoke Greek, seeing as how that was the common language of the Roman empire. Jerusalem ws a very cosmopolitan city, with Syrian, Greek, Latin, Hebrew and Aramaic all being spoken.

Show us all the word for "Palestine" in that Greek New Testament of yours. You won't find any because Israel began to be called Palestine only after the Romans renamed it in the middle of the 2nd century AD -- not before.

And while you are at it, show us the word "Aramaic" in that Greek bible of yours??? Jesus spoke to Paul on the road to Damascus in Hebrew and Paul understood it and Paul spoke to the crowd in Acts 22 in Hebrew and the crowd understood it and the inscription on the cross was in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew not Greek, Latin, and Aramaic.
