Question
Greetings, my question to you is this, I know that Yeshua's primary language was Aramaic/Hebrew, but my question is did he os was he able to speak Greek as well??
It would make sense if He did due to people of His time also spoke Greek and even Latin. I thankyou in advance
Junior
Hi Junior,
That's a good question, and to my knowledge, there is no evidence that Jesus spoke Greek. Jesus learned like everyone else, and although He knew some things supernaturally (e.g. facts about people like the Samaritan woman at the well), we cannot be sure He knew Greek. However, I believe the Father could have told Jesus Greek if it was the Father's will He speak something in Greek.
Thanks for the question and I hope that helps.
Todd

Expertise
My degrees and studies are mostly in Christian doctrine but I will answer questions having to do with almost any aspect of Christianity and The Bible.
Experience
My experience consists of over 20 years as a Pastor, Youth Pastor, missionary, counselor, teacher, writer, Bible quizzer, and various other leadership positions. I've studied the Bible for over 20 years at 5 different schools/seminaries but I can explain things in simple terms anyone can understand and currently teach Sunday School to 1st-5th graders. I specialize in Christian apologetics (evidences for Christianity) and Polemics (debate denouncing false teachings), as well as understanding difficult verses, and topics such as heaven & hell, denominations/sects, false teachings/heresies/cults, the Holy Spirit, gifts of the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare, apostolic reformation, emergent/emerging church, prosperity teaching, contradictions/discrepancies, charismatic studies, creation/evolution, Greek/Hebrew studies, end times, deliverance, the apocrypha/pseudepigrapha, etc. I daily answer questions on Global Media Outreach, AllExperts, YouTube, through email, and various personal websites where I have posted many Christian videos.
Education/Credentials
Graduated from a private Christian High School, went to Nazarene Bible college and then Eastern Nazarene College (Boston) for Youth Ministry and Pastoral Studies/Christian Theology, transferred to Asbury College where I completed my degree in Christian Education and Missions, and most recently attending the Calvary Chapel Bible Institute.
