Millions of people spoke Koine Greek. Some used the Latin of the Romans. Where ever the Romans ruled you will have found people who spoke in Greek and their own nation's language. I have added a link below if you have a real interest in the language use and history.

A: Jews living in the land of Israel spoke Aramaic, which had been the lingua franca of the entire Near East before the time of Alexander the Great.

Why were Jesus' disciples able to speak in many different languages?

This is a miracle attributed to the apostles in Acts chapter 2, after the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles like tongues of fire. How it came about is uncertain, since the entire eastern Mediterranean region spoke Greek, apart from the Palestinian Jews, and no one should have been especially surprised to hear the apostles speaking Greek.
