Question
Greetings and Blessings Scott, my question is simple, Was Yeshua able to speak Greek as well as Aramaic/Hebrew?

I am having a debate with someone who has stated that Yeshua only spoke in his native tongue, hopefully you can shed some light on this subject.

Answer
Hi Junior,

Thanks for your question. I never really thought about this before, or about its significance. And I'm curious to know why the debate.

To shed some light on the issue, I found the following article. Hopefully it will answer your questions.

Expertise

I have studied the Bible and Bible-related topics since the time I was very young. My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Bible, and a Master of Divinity degree. I enjoy delving into deep theological issues and always enjoy a healthy debate. But more importantly, I like working with people and helping them to find the answers that they are looking for. And I am convinced that these answers are available in the Bible.

Experience

By the grace and mercy of God, I have been saved, born again, adopted into the family of God. God has given me a love for the Bible, and for Bible-related subjects. In addition, He has blessed me with ongoing training in the Scriptures, from my youth on up. The more I learn about God through His Word, the more I want to share!
