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.
No books of the Bible were written at the time Jesus was alive on earth. The old Testament books had already been written, and the New Testament books started to be written within a few years of Jesus' death. All were written by 70AD. Christians regard Jesus as still being alive, although not on earth.
Because of the place they first were living, in Nazareth, they spoke Koine Greek, which was the language of the Government. They had to speak Hebrew to be able to go to the temple for worship, or to read the Holy Writings. They were in Egypt for a while, so they had to at least speak a little Egyptian and possibly other languages that are dead now. Although Greek was the international language of the New Testament period, most historians say that Jesus also spoke Aramaic at home with Joseph and Mary.
The Bible never suggests that Jesus spoke in tongues. It is assumed that he always spoke in clear Aramaic.
Many scholars are in the general agreement that Jesus and His disciples spoke in the then common language in Jerusalem - Aramaic.
he did speak many times not only in Gospel but in Torah. ie. the old testament as well
The primary spoken language when Jesus was alive was Aramaic and this would have been the language Jesus spoke. Greek was the language of government, Hebrew the language of prayer, study and religious texts, and Aramaic was the language of legal contracts and trade. So probably Jesus prayed in Hebrew
No actually the language that Jesus spoke was Aramaic.

He probably could speak all languages.
Most scholars believe that Jesus spoke Aramaic, not Armenian.

A:As a Palestinian Jew, Jesus would have preached in Aramaic. The gospels were written in Greek.
Yes because he only not speak some language: Arabic, another Semitic language that did not arrive in Palestine until after the first century A.D.
Primarily Aramaic, but some Hebrew and Greek, too.
No, Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was not alive when Jesus was crucified.
Jesus may have been able to speak and read Hebrew; especially when reading from the Torah in the synagogue. But the daily spoken language of Jesus and the jews of his time was a dialect of Aramayic--also a semitic language. Aramayic survives today in the middle east, but probably substantially different from the dialect of Jesus era.
no, I believe they spoke Aramaic, a long dead language of the times. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that is it.
