“No,Yeshua never spoke aramaic. Your fictional presentations are amusing, but nonsensical.”

Aramaic was the common language of the eastern Mediterranean since the time of the Assyrian and the Babylonian conquests and remained so until the Arab conquests of the 7th century AD. There was some Greek and Latin among elites but the common language remained Aramaic.

Syriac Christianity dates back to the 1st century AD along the eastern Med and that church still uses Aramaic in its liturgy. It also incorporates rabbinic Judaism into its culture giving a clue to its ancient history.

Sure He did. In John 1:42 He tells Simon that his name will be changed to Cephas (that’s Aramaic).
