The Language Our Lord(Jesus) Spoke?
Our correspondent speaks truly when he says that authorities differ as to the language spoken by Christ. It is generally agreed, however, that the language prevalent in that day was the Aramaic, or the old corrupted Hebrew. Most of the Jews doubtless spoke that, as did also our Lord; but it is also clearly evident that He spoke Greek. Nearly all the quotations in the New Testament are from the Septuagint, or the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures.
In. fact, Greek was quite commonly spoken throughout the world, and in all probability our Saviour spoke both lan-guages.
