At Pentecost the disciples were speaking in tongues of different languages. When Christ told the disciples to preach the Gospel to the world I don’t think He meant Latin.
“When Christ told the disciples to preach the Gospel to the world I don’t think He meant Latin.”
Except when preaching to Romans, right? And what was the Empire which ran most of the known world at that time? Oh, yeah, it was the ROMAN Empire. And what language was used in much of the Roman Empire? Oh, right, Latin.
Latin was the official language of the empire. No matter what the "common local" language was the Latin served as the international language. Much as English is the standard language for airline pilots today. It was also the language for the law.
