RS>Might arise from the simple fact that many Jews even in Palestine-Syria were, like Stephen, Greek-speakers. Who knows but that Our Lord himself knew some Greek since a large Greek town is known to have existed just a few miles from Nazareth.Impossible to know, of course.

II>Who knows?

Could it be that the "Lingua Franca" of the 1st century was Koine Greek.

Or Perhaps that Koine Greek is very very precise in it's grammar.

Oh well, the Holy spirit chose it for His own reasons.

Matthew 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,
`Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" [Psalm 118:26]

Barukh haba b'Shem Adonai
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord
Y'shua HaMashiach

Interesting quotes from the Koran

From, ”THE DINNER TABLE”

The Koran tells Muslims, that Musa, (Moses) knew the people of Israel were to inherit the holy land.

[5.20] And when Musa said to his people: O my people! remember the favor of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any other among the nations.
[5.21] O my people! enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs for then you will turn back losers.
[5.22] They said: O Musa! surely there is a strong race in it, and we will on no account
enter it until they go out from it, so if they go out from it, then surely we will enter.
[5.23] Two men of those who feared, upon both of whom Allah had bestowed a favor, said: Enter upon them by the gate, for when you have entered it you shall surely be victorious, and on Allah should you rely if you are believers.
[5.24] They said: O Musa! we shall never enter it so long as they are in it; go therefore you
and your Lord, then fight you both surely we will here sit down.
[5.25] He said: My Lord! Surely I have no control (upon any) but my own self and my brother; therefore make a separation between us and the nation of transgressors.
[5.26] He said: So it shall surely be forbidden to them for forty years, they shall wander
about in the land, therefore do not grieve for the nation of transgressors.



From Koran book of, ”THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL”

Interesting

[17.33]And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.

[17.104] And We said to the Israelites after him: Dwell in the land: and when the promise of the next life shall come to pass, we will bring you both together in judgment.

[17.111] And say: (All) praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him).

Is it any wonder why Muslim countries are not blessed? They know God gave the Holy Land to Israel, but they still fight against the words of their own god in their own Koran.
