What are the languages that Jesus spoke?
Many scholars are in the general agreement that Jesus and His disciples spoke in the then common language in Jerusalem - Aramaic.
How many times did Jesus talk about the poor?
Jesus spoke about the poor 13 times in the Gospels.
What three languages was the Bible translated from?
Primarily Hebrew and Greek. The third original language was Aramaic - which was a common language in the Middle East. It would have likely been what Jesus spoke. Many words and phrases were in Aramaic, but not whole books of the Bible.
What language did they speak when Jesus was alive?
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. The Hebrew scriptures were written mainly in Hebrew, and educated Jews could read this language.Elsewhere in Israel and generally throughout the Near East, Greek Koine was spoken. Diaspora Jews also spoke Greek and used a Greek translation of their scriptures.The Roman rulers spoke Latin. Many of the Jews and Gentiles would have spoken Latin in order to deal with the governing classes and to take advantage of trade.
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.
