Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT the same questions in a new chat, no custom GPTs. This is the slightly different response I got (not defending this, just showing how it responds when not using Reddit custom instructions): User: "What language was the New Testament of the Bible written in? Please answer in one word." GPT: "Greek" User: "So Jesus spoke Greek?" GPT: "Not primarily. Jesus likely spoke Aramaic, which was the common language of Jews in first-century Palestine. He may also have known Hebrew for religious purposes and possibly some Greek for interactions in a multilingual society, but Aramaic was his primary spoken language." User: "So who wrote the Bible?" GPT: "The Bible was written by various authors over many centuries. Here's a breakdown: Old Testament/Hebrew Bible: Written by multiple Jewish authors, including prophets, priests, and scribes, often anonymously. Books like Psalms are attributed to King David, while the Torah (first five books) is traditionally linked to Moses, though modern scholarship debates this. New Testament: Written by early Christian leaders and disciples, mostly in Greek. Key authors include: Paul: Wrote many epistles (letters) to early churches (e.g., Romans, Corinthians). Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (attributed authors, though debated). Other Apostles: Peter, James, and John wrote additional letters. These authors were inspired by their faith and aimed to document teachings, laws, history, and divine revelations." User: "Did the disciples speak Greek?" GPT: "The disciples of Jesus likely spoke Aramaic as their primary language, like most Jews in first-century Palestine. However, some of them might have also had knowledge of Greek, which was the lingua franca of the eastern Roman Empire at the time. Greek was commonly used for trade, administration, and interaction with non-Jewish populations. It is plausible that some disciples, especially those like Matthew (a tax collector), had exposure to Greek due to their professions or dealings with Roman authorities. However, their fluency in Greek likely varied, and they primarily operated within an Aramaic-speaking cultural and religious context."
It's actually Muslims who would be surprised. Mohammed claimed that Jesus wrote "the Gospel". (Singular) Being illiterate, he didn't understand that there are four gospels written by four authors. If we assume that by "the Gospel" he meant the entire New Testament, he further didn't understand that there are other books and letters as well. Whatever he meant, he did say that "the Gospel" is the unalterable word of God and promised that it would confirm the Quran. Yeah... About that... Surprise!
@@WideMouth The gospels were actually written anonymously and the church fathers assigned authorship much later. Apart from John (written by the beloved disciple) we don't really have an indication as to who wrote them.

Arguing that Jesus couldn’t have spoken Greek because He was a Galilean Jew is like arguing that someone couldn’t possibly speak English because they grew up in Quebec.
Mirroring the todays world with a 2000 years old world sure ok , if we take this road we can also tell that Yesua was eating McDonald´s , i mean not we can eat them , so why not he ?
It's people like that woman that make me realize how important knowing history is. People often forget about this one dude named Alexander and how he conquered the 'known world' of his time which included Israel/Judea. He also made sure everyone in his empire learned Greek alongside their native language. Then there's this whole Septuagint thing, and then the Greek empire breaking up when Alex died. Then there was the Maccabees revolt happened and after that the Romans came in and communicated with the Israelites in Greek, because speaking Greek was what the cool kids do in Rome, and the Israelite already knew Greek as a second language because that was the style at the time.
And it was giving to Yesua in the first ecumenical council in Nicaea 325 AD . This was the council that have decide that Yesua was the son of God sense the first Christians believed that he was a prophet not the son of God . The council have happen in Nicaea in Greece and they gave him a Greek name , i mean it will be weird to call Yesua Kim

Exactly she purposely sets the chatgpt to answer like a muslim. It amazes me many christians naivley think shes honest and chatgpt actually saying those answers. Low lq @TestifyApologetics
In the place where Jesus lived (hinterlands of Galilee) people spoke Aramaic. Greek was spoken in bigger cities. Rural Galilee was completely Jewish (culturally) and thoroughly Aramaic (linguistically). Even when Jesus was an adult, there is no reference to him visiting a major city (until he goes to Jerusalem at the end of his life).
And that's not even mentioning the fact that Alexander the Great had conquered the area, and Antichus Epiphanes basically engaged in forced Hellenization of the Jews. These things are why we got the Septuagint (the Greek manuscript of the Old Testament). Few Jews spoke Hebrew anymore - it had become basically a ceremonial language, like Latin is to the Roman Catholic Church - and they wanted their scriptures in the language they spoke every day, which was Greek.
Because she is a Muslim. For muslims, the Quran is the fullest revelation of God and the eternal word of Allah, comparable to Jesus Christ for Christians. The Quran says Jesus was given a book, the Injil (the Gospel). So Muslims must believe that nonsense. What's interesting is the Arabic word the Quran uses, "injil," has its roots in the Greek ευαγγέλιον. It tacitly assumes, therefore, that the Greek texts Christians have is the one allah gave to Jesus. Either their prophet was ignorant and a liar, or their god is just a cosmically bad communicator.
A lot of people sadly believe almost everyone in the past was an illiterate idiot for some reason. Don't ask these people what they thought the humans of the middle ages were like.
Not quite what that means, but it is quite ridiculous. You can find a lot of people even today that are bilingual (or even trilingual) without normal schooling in the subject because the area they live in has multiple languages that they interact with daily.
I could have included this in the video, but if you upload Stanley Porter's paper into Chat GPT, then ask if Jesus spoke Greek *and* Aramaic, and request a one-word answer (as she does), Chat GPT says "yes."
If I don't ask for a 1 word answer, it says: "Based on Stanley Porter's paper, it is highly probable that Jesus and his disciples spoke both Aramaic and Greek. Greek, as the *lingua franca* of the Graeco-Roman world, was widely used in Galilee and throughout Palestine, especially in trade, governance, and daily interactions. Jesus likely used Greek in specific contexts, including interactions with non-Jewish audiences and in regions influenced by Hellenistic culture."
I love how she use the fact that the New testament was written decades after jesus, but completely glosses over the fact that the Quran was written centuries after Jesus LOL
Oh no, DECADES!!!! I guess if I write an account of what I was doing as the plane hit the second tower, it can't possibly be accurate because it's written "dEcAdEs" after the fact... Honestly, these people.
No, it doesn't come from the Septuagint. It comes from the Hebrew text. Jesus used a rabbinic technique called Gezara shava. See Steven Notley's work "Hebrew-Only Exegesis"
There's also the fact that all of the quotations of Scriptures were from the Septuagint (the Old Testament translated into Greek about 200 years prior).
Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek Is what Jesus spoke due to the disciples he made, people he spoke to in Parables, and obviously because of the multiple languages the gospels are written in.
I think it's possible (even likely, I'd say!) that Jesus spoke Latin. Clearly, even aside from being God Himself, Jesus was clearly a smart man, so knowing several languages isn't beyond belief. However, I don't think I'd call His conversation with Pilate evidence of Him speaking Latin -- I would think it's more likely that Pilate spoke another language in this instance, since he had presumably been dealing with Jews all day. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share it so I may grow!
@ΑνίκητοςΓιαννούδης You're kidding me right? Because the video "says" it? This is your argument?! Really?! So you never bother to ask questions yourself or go out of your way to fact check whatever you watch or read?

@@giannisv.4472 Inscriptions and artifacts show Aramaic was dominant in rural areas, while Greek was more common in urban centers and among elites. Jesus, being a rural Galilean likely spoke Aramaic and had limited exposure to Greek, which was more prevalent in urban centers and among the elite. Greek was indeed the language of administration and trade but it was predominantly used by the elite and those in urban centers, rather than rural areas like Galilee where Jesus lived and we have no evidence of Jesus visiting any major city except Jerusalem at the end of his life. He almost certainly could not speak Greek.
Biblical Inaccuracy aside, its pretty dangerous how people can lead the AI into giving the answers they want. People already are biased, now AI can be manipulated to cater to that.
@@RowanEmporer yeah it’s extremely easy to manipulate AI to give specific answers.

Jesus was required to write the Titulus and it was written in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. Jesus and his disciples were among 1:40 the most educated people of the time. The Gospels were written in Greek for the Hellenized world. Jews travelled extensively at this time. Most people n the past were multilingual. They were not yokels.
Fishermen and carpenters f.e. are not particularly highly educated... Where did you get the idea that Jesus was required to write the Titulus and this in 3 languages? What are you even on about?
This argument warrants an eyeroll. Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel. That would require using the common language of the known world at that time and if writting texts that they wanted as many people as possible to be able to read; they would write it in the common tongue. That would be Greek
Bruh! I can read, write and speak 3 languages and can understand even more. I'm currently learning four other laguages as well... Why on Earth can't these people comprehend a person being multilingual??! I believe, it was the norm until a few decades ago!
A lot of people in the west (especially U.S.A) from what I've seen since i live there are kind of ignorant. I sadly know a lot of people who can't properly pronounce or read words past a elementary level education. They also believe a lot of people of the past were ignorant and we're so "enlightened" in the modern day by comparison. It's exhausting.
@@superbrainz2357 that last part is actually a nearly worldwide phenomenon because the general worldview of people studying the past these days see people in the past as being more primitive and thus less intelligent. The actual historical data, to me, suggests it might be the opposite, given the number of things built and designed without the aid of computers or high-powered machinery and yet most people today seem to need a calculator to do basic math. At the very least it is truly absurd to think that people in the past were dumber than people today.

They think Wikipedia is reliable too. As someone who has written a few of their articles and had them altered to various biases I can assure you it's not.
but Jesus was Greek even Amazon played a documentary about it. Bethlehem Nazareth esklon eskeloni was a Greek area Greek colonized that region before anyone. The philistinians sea people were the first people to settle there. Jews came from Iran’s. The cananites came after the philistinian s. Big portions of Palestine are islamized philistinians that came from the Greek island of Crete . The question is why has the truth been hidden. This clips evidence is very important buy Zionist Hollywood oh d had convinced people that Jesus was a white Jewish man from Eastern Europe lol. There’s no blonde or black people in the Mediterranean oil olive skin. Come on people wake up the Old Testament was written in Greek all his disciples spoke Greek but Jesus was white with blue eyes conmen sense 😀 4:38
Jesus: turned water to wine, healed the lepers, and walked on water. Jesus according to this lady: could not possibly have been bilingual in the primary language of his country.
The fact that the Greek Septuagint was the mainstream translation of the Old Testament refutes her whole video. How in the world could Jesus and the disciples not know Greek if their scriptures were in that language?
Exactly. Several verses in the NT directly correspond to passages found in the Septuagint. Including a roll of Scripture Christ himself read from in a synagogue.
LXX wasn't the mainstream translation in Judaea even in Greek. LXX was already known to diverge from the Masoretic Text, so Theodotion would (later) make another translation for rabbinic use. LXX would have been considered a rogue translation used only where proto-Theodotionic translations weren't found. Also you're forgetting Aramaic. A translation existed in Qumran for Job. I haven't read David Shepherd's study so I don't know where it stands on the "targum" genre, which is technically "late Jewish Literary Aramaic"; but clearly translations were already in process. Anyway, on topic of Qumran, in Jesus' time plenty of Jews still spoke Hebrew. There's Qumran, but also the Shephela dialect which migrated to... the Galilee, giving us Mishnaic Hebrew.
@@zimrielTheodotion made his translation in the 2nd century... It's also fairly tricky to determine if Jewish Scriptures dating to any point after the foundation of Christianity are more accurate than the LXX, because many early Christian apologists (such as Justin Martyr) would accuse the Jews of removing passages or changing words or phrases in an attempt to subvert Christianity. That isn't entirely unlikely, either, as even today there are instances of Jewish circles suppressing passages like Isaiah 53 because of the clear parallels to Christ. The LXX was incredibly common, though, with many passages in the New Testament being more in line with the LXX version than the Masoretic text. Considering the fact that Christianity also came around before any of the credible alternatives to the LXX were translated, and the fact that many early Christian apologists and theologians wrote in support of using the LXX, it's a real stretch to dismiss it so dramatically.
@@andrewlyon8924 quick note to acknowledge that I did get Theodotion's date wrong in my original comment which I then corrected. However we do own corrections to the Greek in the MT direction which may predate Theodotion himself. The "kaige" revisions are a case in point. Those are what I'd consider "protoTheodotion" translations which would have been more acceptable to Greek-speaking Jews outside Philo's Alexandria.
Jesus worked with his father as a carpenter for many years before his ministry, how he gonna sell his wares if he doesn’t speak the language of the market
Not only was he a carpenter, he and his father were carpenters in Nazareth. Nazareth was essentially a work camp for those building Ceasaria. Herod the great commissioned Caesaria as a little Rome in the Palestinian region. You wouldn't be building the most Roman city outside of Rome without picking up a little bit of the language.
I hear it all the time. Yet our cordoned off search engines always go to Wikipedia first. Thing is I wrote articles for it and saw how the system worked. *UNPAID* - that's the bit that annoys me. Our labour was monetised.
@Testify : At 02:00 you said it is obvious Jesus was not speaking Latin. How do you know? He could, and for 2 reasons: 1. If Jesus knew Latin, they could directly speak in Latin instead of using a middle language. Keep in mind there is no mention of the language spoken + no interpretor. 2. If Jesus is God, don't you think he can speak all living/dead/future languages? Of course yes.
Yep, part of the problem. I wonder how Jesus celebrated 4th of July, it was probably really hard for him to buy firecrackers from the Romans because he doesn't had green card.
If you read Mark’s gospel in Greek, it is obviously the writer’s second or later language. It’s only English-speakers who think there’s something strange about speaking multiple languages. My relatives in a certain Balkan country spoke their native language, plus German and Russian. The country I was born in has three different official languages and one of them isn’t actually official, it’s just what all government and business and most education are done in. Throughout human history it has been *normal* for people to speak more than one language. This is why English is a mishmash of Germanic, Romance, and some Celtic. For what it’s worth, there is a 4th or 5th century translation of the Bible into Aramaic called the Peshitta and the Diatessaron goes back to the 2nd century.
Apostles' Creed is the essence of Christianity. Memorizing one page wasn't difficult, when people didn't have phones, their only entertainment was telling stories. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Yes it is deeply embedded in their personality, they don't seem to keep in mind other nations speek other language. Even if they don't fully understand your english they don't try to help you fix it, most of them just let you speek broken english and some of them start mocking you because of your english.
No, it's not "only English speakers". Some Francophones and other major language groups think the same. But please bear in mind that Nigeria and India are two of the biggest English speaking populations in the world and hardly monolingual. Even within the British Isles, at least a million indigenous people have a decent working knowledge of another language usually a Celtic one.

To me this type of objection "Not speaking greek" has always been silly to me because in programming almost all languages even ones written in non English speaking counties like Ruby (Japan) and Python (originally Netherlands) only use English for the actual programming words and most documentation is in English so programmers have to know at least a little bit of English to make sense of anything. Obviously not an exact parallel but just to show that even nowadays where there is more is a focus of on trying to cater to people's own languages and there being much faster translations, there are still entire massive industries that mainly use one language.
The gospels even mention Jesus and his disciples going to Decapolis, a region full of Greek villages. I'm sure they would be able to speak some Greek if they're going around interacting with the locals.
As a Hellenen this comment brings me joy.We have all type of Polis here Tripoli =3 cities Pentapoli=5 cities Dekapoli=10 cities.Megalopoli=Big city ,Mitropoli which firstly meant "city which create another colony basically=mother-city but in English it was changed to Metropolis which is a synonym of Megalopolis.Komopoli= small city or big village.
As a greek and a Christian orthodox thank you for bringing that issue about the language i use in my everyday life. I want to point something that many people forgetting or ignore. Greek was a Lingua franca for the Romans for governing reasons but what about the others? Why a fisherman wanted to learn greek to sell fishes instead of the customer to learn few Aramaic, few numbers and the names of the coins and few fishes! The most common was that fisherman's and farmers and general the poor people was uneducated and those who spoke greek was the wealth and educated people. The truth is that in Palestine, Syria Lebanon (today's name) and Egypt was predominantly speaking greek areas, not as a second language but as first! At least at the age of jesus. Many of the names of Hebrew leaders had greek names and the most strong argument is the translation of the Tora from Hebrew to Greek and the great conflict among the Hebrew for that reason. But the fact is that they translate it because the majority was Greek speaking people. There are more facts about but the comment will be so long 😅
Even if they did not SPEAK it, they might read it. Or understand it by listening. Anecdotally, and I’m sure many people can agree they know people like this-I grew up with a friend whose parents only spoke Chinese to her. She refused to speak it and would answer them in English. Now I live in a neighborhood that is Hispanic and witness the same among the younger ones who speak English back to their Spanish speaking parents. Thanks to the internet I have been learning multiple languages but can’t write or speak them-I just read them and get a few words and use context clues. Even after 7 years of school-Spanish, I don’t SPEAK it but could read a Spanish novel. Also, the English language is a mix of a lot of other languages, I think I read that 40% of English is derived from French! So while there are Americans who would say they know no French, they might be able to pick out half the meanings of a French text. And currently most people think Latin is a dead language, but it’s so much part of English that you could say we speak Latin 😂 Anyway, languages are weird and to other people’s points, if you believe Jesus is God, He can understand any language 🤣
Stinklish is overrated. Most of América, the Russian empire, China, half of Africa, much of Europe and most of Japan and Koreas do not need English or don't even use it except a few broken phrases.

also even in the quran, the word for gospel "injeel" comes from a GREEK word some muslims say when the quran refers to preservation and obedience to the injeel, its referring to the original one before it was corrupted.. but wait even if that were true, the "original injeel" would still have a GREEK origin, yet it is to be obeyed? so why do muslims say it cant be in greek when their own quran refers to the gospel by its GREEK word?
Greek was the common language of Eastern Mediterranean due to Alexander's conquest. Literally, there were disciples of Jesus with greek names like Andrew or Phillip. Even Peter (Πέτρος) has Greek etymology from the word stone (πέτρα). Even high priests of Jews had greek names like Menelaus, Aristobulus or Alexander.
It wasn’t a “Palestinian” region. Palaestina, the Roman replacement for Judea, is a latinized transliteration of Pleshet (or Philistia), the land of the Philistines (Plishtim), who were the Hebrews’ sworn-enemies in the 7th century BCE. The Romans changed the province’s name from Judea to Syria Palaestina somewhere in the 2nd century CE, before or after the Bar Kokhba Revolt, to further ridicule the Jews-much after Jesus’ time. It is true that Herodotus and other prominent Greeks called the land Palaistine (eventually Palaestina) centuries beforehand, but their naming of it always referred to it as an extension, a district, of Syria. Indeed, Syria itself was often called Palaestina by later accounts. Therefore, Jesus was not from a “Palestinian” territory, not only because of issues of chronology, but also because it was an elastic term, used interchangeably for vastly different areas, and it is only afterwards that the term became more confined and recognized. I’d stick to calling it Judea.
You can call it whatever you want, biblical scholars always called it 1st century Palestine since the 18th century when the Bible scholarship came to be. They still call it that.
@@mybad2603You ll be surprised to find out that Eastern Roman historians called people from various nations accordying to the previous ruler of the Geographical area they occupied.Persian and Scythian could mean Arab,Hun,Turk,Mongol and Turkish depending the context.
Jews spoke Greek, this isn't a theory it is just fact, sorry to burst your bubble. After the death of Alexander the Great, Judea was affected by Hellenization. Some Jews, especially the wealthy urban class, scholars, teachers, and intellectuals, wanted to adopt a Greek lifestyle and give up Jewish law, this also resulted in Jewish temples being replaced by Greek ones, Greek Traditions seeping into Jewish ones, and of course Greek becoming a prevalent language, even to many commoners. Centuries of Hellenization eventually led to the Maccabean revolt which resulted in many Greeks being driven out of Judea & Greek statues & temples being destroyed and replaced. However as with any kind of colonization, language stayed. By the time of Christ, a large portion of jews would have spoken Greek, along with other languages such as Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew & Latin. According to Stanley Porter (1993) Did Jesus ever teach in Greek: 68% of all the ancient Jewish inscriptions in the Mediterranean are written in Greek. In Judea alone, it is estimated that 55-60% of all of them are in Greek In this period, the Jewish council was called by a Greek name. (Sanhedrin) - Greek synedrion. According to Peter William Van Hurst's Ancient Jewish Epitaphs: The first impression one gains from these data is that Greek was one of the great majority among the Jews in the Imperial period, probably of more than two thirds of them. The Essenes, the Jewish sect that lived in the wilderness and fought against imperialism and foreigners had Greek versions of the scripture, given that they are extremely nationalistic & conservative, it is unlikely that they wouldn't have used the Greek language unless it was a long standing practice. There's literally dozens of paragraphs I could use, such as the fact that Greek was used in the court of Herod, that it was known to be widely used in Judean cities such as Sephoras and Tiberias, both of which are situated extremely close to Nazareth, the birthplace of Jesus, or that the signage for Jesus when he was crucified said King of the Jews, in not just Hebrew, but also you guessed it Greek & Latin, this was not a message to Romans & Greeks but the Jews. Biblical researchers & authors such as Maurice Casey, Stantley E. Porter, Lee Levine, & Scott Gleaves give a lot of evidence towards the fact that Jesus spoke Greek.
In Nazareth Jesus would have had zero reason to learn Greek, and probably no way to learn Greek. Rural Galilee was completely Jewish (culturally) and thoroughly Aramaic (linguistically). Even when Jesus was an adult, there is no reference to him visiting a major city (until he goes to Jerusalem at the end of his life), or speaking Greek, or knowing Greek. He was a rural Jew in the Jewish hinterlands of Galilee. He almost certainly could not speak Greek.
@ Considering that 60%+ Jews at the time spoke Greek either fully and partially and that Nazareth and the cities near it had the highest rates of Greek speakers, I’d have to say you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
She rigged GPT. I asked chatgpt if jesus spoke greek and it said this "Yes, it is likely that Jesus spoke some Greek, though it was probably not his primary language. Greek was widely spoken in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 1st century due to the influence of the Hellenistic culture established by Alexander the Great and maintained under Roman rule. However, Jesus' everyday language was most likely Aramaic, the common tongue of Jews in Galilee and Judea at that time. He also likely had some knowledge of Hebrew, which was used in religious and scholarly contexts. Here’s why Jesus may have spoken some Greek: Geographic Context: Galilee, where Jesus spent much of his life, was a multicultural region where Greek-speaking communities coexisted with Jewish populations. Trade and Interaction: Greek was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire, used for trade and communication between people of different native tongues. Jesus, as a carpenter and a preacher, may have encountered Greek speakers. Scriptural References: In the Gospels, Jesus has interactions with non-Jewish individuals, such as the Roman centurion (Matthew 8:5-13), and it is possible these interactions took place in Greek. While Jesus likely used Aramaic in most of his teachings and interactions, Greek would have been useful for communicating with diverse audiences in the region."
"Multicultural" - anachronistic terminology there, especially given the contemporary overtones of that word. Certainly not multicultural in the modern sense.
For the umpteenth time, Jesus likely spoke Greek while dialoguing with Pontius Pilate because Pilate didn’t speak Aramaic or Hebrew. The Disciples also knew Greek.
The name is actually older. It comes from the Philistines of Old Testament fame and it existed for a few centuries before becoming the official name for Roman Judea in early 2nd century.
Interesting. We have also to take in account what do we mean by "speaking greek": being fluent? Being able to communicate? Or only having some notions of the language?
@@ignaciorequena9182 false. Philistine, the earlier translation of the word for Palestine, was used all the way back in David’s time. The land was known as Palestine. Israel is the tribe. The land existed before Israelites by the way.
@@prilosec5771turbo false. Philistine isnt “the earlier translation of Palestine”, they are etymologically foreign to eachother. And Galilee is nowhere near Philistia. Totally different areas of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, literally polar ends of eachother. “Palestina” was the exonym given to Israel by Greeks which was derived from the word for wrestler (παλεστής) in Greek. Philistia/Philistines is derived from פלשטים (“Plshtim”) which is a play on the word for invader in Hebrew (פולש). Palestina literally means Israel (excluding the God part) because Israel means wrestle/struggle with God. It has always been and has never ceased to be Israel so no, calling it Palestine is inaccurate. Please, dont be so arrogantly ignorant.
@@ChristianPhilosemite I don't get the debate over the term "Palestine." Different nations had different names for places. Like how sometimes the Old Testament refers to Egypt as Mizraim (Genesis 10:13), or the way they would refer to king Ahasuerus, even though we have no clue where they came up with such a name for a Persian king. The Greeks also called the people of Tyre and Sidon "Phoenicians," and today that area is known as Lebanon. In fact, the Greeks didn't call themselves Greeks, but rather called themselves Hellenists, and even today they call their language Ελληνικά (Ellenika) which is clearly closer to "Hellenika" than "Greek." You can also take into consideration the fact that the various tribes native to America were all called "Indians" for quite some time; and even now, "Native American" is not something they would have called themselves, because the land was not known as America until Europeans settled it. There are countless examples like these, because this has always been how the world works; the names that nations are called by are rarely consistent, and various reasons can lead to a nation or an area being called by various different names.
@tziodim Again, there was no Philistine when Jesus lived. Then people called the Philistines as a distinct people, disappeared several centuries earlier! When Jesus lived the region was Judea, and the Romans renamed it Palaestina in 135AD, that's a century after Jesus. And this renaming was a political move to suppress Jewish identity rather than continuing the existence of Philistines. And modern day Palestinians are arabs and have nothing to do with ancient Philistines
Interestingly, it has been found that Hebrew was a spoken language up into the 2nd century AD and at least the gospel of Matthew was undoubtedly originally written in Hebrew. There are no known (at least by the public) original Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew, but they discovered this by recognizing the use of Hebrew word puns and other things that only make sense in Hebrew. For instance, when Gabriel tells Mary and Joseph that they will name their baby “Yeshua”, he gives an explanation as to why the name Yeshua is given. He says “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.’” Matthew 1:21 How does that make sense in Greek when his name is Hebrew? Ίσους “Isous” in Greek has no meaning. In western cultures you string together some letters and make a name or a word. It’s abstract. In Hebrew, all consonants themselves have meanings and therefore there are parent roots (to consonants) which then give child consonants (three consonants) which give us the roots for all words coming from the parent root. In Hebrew, the sentence I quoted goes like this “הִיא יוֹלֶדֶת בֵּן וְאַתָּה תִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ, כִּי הוּא יוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת עַמּוֹ מֵחַטֺּאתֵיהֶם."” מתי א:21 תנ״ך ומודרני “…You shall name him Yeshua for he will yoshi’a God’s people.” Only in Hebrew does the word pun appear, and only in Hebrew does that sentence even make sense. If the Hebrew name has meaning, and the Greek word doesn’t, why does Gabriel explain his purpose through the name Yeshua? Only works in Hebrew.
Hey Testify, don't forget that John could have easily dictated to one of his disciples. One of the ancient "Anti-Marcionite" prologues reads: The Gospel of John was revealed and given to the churches by John while still in the body, just as Papias of Hieropolis, the close disciple of John, related in the exoterics, that is, in the last five books. Indeed he wrote down the gospel, while John was dictating carefully.
The Septuagint (Greek translation of the Tanakh) was written 100+ years before Jesus arrived **specifically for modern Hebrews to be able to read their own scriptures**
Who really wrote gospel of John? John 21:24 - “This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.”
Highly likely he knew some Latin as well. They may not have liked Roman occupation but it was a simple fact of life. He is said to have visited Roman households
Hey Testify, I'm not a Muslim nor defending their religion, but I do want to correct 4:22 by saying that Arabic as a language did, in fact, exist during Jesus' time. It was spoken with various older dialects in Arabia itself at least since the 5th century BC, as described by Herodotus and others. Since it is a Semitic language just like Aramaic and Hebrew (though a different branch), Arabic is probably as old as they are. Great video otherwise!
Arabic went through a lot of changes before we get to the modern version. Hebrew on the other hand was preserved by the Rabbis as a scholarly language and remains MOSTLY unchanged.
Early Church historian Eusebius points out that the Gospel of Matthew was written in Aramaic ,and that in his day (in the 300's) there were still copies. They have been lost. Luke was a Greek Speaker, as was Paul...and all the other points are valid, too, in this video. Of course it is possible that the Apostles dictated their letters and Gospels to a scribe who wrote what they said in Greek (Saint Paul and St. John both used scribes, we know from the Scriptures, for Paul, and for St. John according to Church history). St. Peter and the other Apostles traveled extensively throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. They very likely knew some Greek.
It's pretty common for people in smaller countries with unique languages to speak the main go between languages used by the most powerful and influential empires or their remnants

Hebrew as a spoken vernacular language never really died out in the Holy Land. Firstly, the Babylonians only took the upper classes and left the lower classes in the land of Judah. Secondly the exile was only for about 80 years or so. These circumstances wouldn't be the cause for a death of a spoken language. Mishnaic Hebrew (postbiblical Hebrew) was the dominant native tongue of the Holy Land. The very fact that a form of Hebrew exists that is distinct from the Masoretic texts testifies to the organic development of said language. This Hebrew could be read in the Mishnah. Aramaic was certainly spoken amongst communities that migrated from the Babylonian Jewish communities. But it didn't have any dominance over Mishnaic Hebrew. Regarding Greek, I would definitely agree with this video. Due to the close proximity of the Galilee to major hellenistic metropolitan communities, Galileans would definitely have encountered the language frequently.

i think its important to note at 1:13 and 3:25 the term Palestine as a name for the region didn't exist. It was only about 100 years after Jesus' death (following the Roman suppression of the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD) that the region was renamed by the Romans from Judaea to Syria-Palaestina to try and erase the Jewish connection to the land; and only in the 4th century was it just called Palestine. The name was derived from the Philistines, Greek invaders who were constantly fighting the Jews. At the time, the land was called Judea or the Kingdom of Judah/Israel so that name would be more historically appropriate.
When Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah in Luke 4, wouldn’t it have been from the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures since it would have been the most widely used at the time or was there a commonly used Hebrew/Aramaic translation? I’m sincerely asking since this would be where my mind would go to show that Jesus spoke Greek.
Just for fun, I asked ChatGPT the same questions in a new chat, no custom GPTs. This is the slightly different response I got (not defending this, just showing how it responds when not using Reddit custom instructions):
User: "What language was the New Testament of the Bible written in? Please answer in one word."
GPT: "Greek"
User: "So Jesus spoke Greek?"
GPT: "Not primarily. Jesus likely spoke Aramaic, which was the common language of Jews in first-century Palestine. He may also have known Hebrew for religious purposes and possibly some Greek for interactions in a multilingual society, but Aramaic was his primary spoken language."
User: "So who wrote the Bible?"
GPT: "The Bible was written by various authors over many centuries. Here's a breakdown:
Old Testament/Hebrew Bible: Written by multiple Jewish authors, including prophets, priests, and scribes, often anonymously. Books like Psalms are attributed to King David, while the Torah (first five books) is traditionally linked to Moses, though modern scholarship debates this.
New Testament: Written by early Christian leaders and disciples, mostly in Greek. Key authors include:
Paul: Wrote many epistles (letters) to early churches (e.g., Romans, Corinthians).
Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (attributed authors, though debated).
Other Apostles: Peter, James, and John wrote additional letters.
These authors were inspired by their faith and aimed to document teachings, laws, history, and divine revelations."
User: "Did the disciples speak Greek?"
GPT: "The disciples of Jesus likely spoke Aramaic as their primary language, like most Jews in first-century Palestine. However, some of them might have also had knowledge of Greek, which was the lingua franca of the eastern Roman Empire at the time. Greek was commonly used for trade, administration, and interaction with non-Jewish populations.
It is plausible that some disciples, especially those like Matthew (a tax collector), had exposure to Greek due to their professions or dealings with Roman authorities. However, their fluency in Greek likely varied, and they primarily operated within an Aramaic-speaking cultural and religious context."

My favourite is Matthew, he was tax collector dealing with Romans

The Greeks had ruled over the Levant for centuries at that point before the romans everyone spoke Greek and what ever local language they had
In the place where Jesus lived (hinterlands of Galilee) people spoke Aramaic. Greek was spoken in bigger cities. Rural Galilee was completely Jewish (culturally) and thoroughly Aramaic (linguistically). Even when Jesus was an adult, there is no reference to him visiting a major city (until he goes to Jerusalem at the end of his life).
And that's not even mentioning the fact that Alexander the Great had conquered the area, and Antichus Epiphanes basically engaged in forced Hellenization of the Jews. These things are why we got the Septuagint (the Greek manuscript of the Old Testament). Few Jews spoke Hebrew anymore - it had become basically a ceremonial language, like Latin is to the Roman Catholic Church - and they wanted their scriptures in the language they spoke every day, which was Greek.
0:10 Why did she think Jesus wrote the bible? ^^;
Because she is a Muslim.
For muslims, the Quran is the fullest revelation of God and the eternal word of Allah, comparable to Jesus Christ for Christians.
The Quran says Jesus was given a book, the Injil (the Gospel). So Muslims must believe that nonsense.
What's interesting is the Arabic word the Quran uses, "injil," has its roots in the Greek ευαγγέλιον. It tacitly assumes, therefore, that the Greek texts Christians have is the one allah gave to Jesus. Either their prophet was ignorant and a liar, or their god is just a cosmically bad communicator.

If I don't ask for a 1 word answer, it says: "Based on Stanley Porter's paper, it is highly probable that Jesus and his disciples spoke both Aramaic and Greek. Greek, as the *lingua franca* of the Graeco-Roman world, was widely used in Galilee and throughout Palestine, especially in trade, governance, and daily interactions. Jesus likely used Greek in specific contexts, including interactions with non-Jewish audiences and in regions influenced by Hellenistic culture."

I think it's possible (even likely, I'd say!) that Jesus spoke Latin. Clearly, even aside from being God Himself, Jesus was clearly a smart man, so knowing several languages isn't beyond belief.
However, I don't think I'd call His conversation with Pilate evidence of Him speaking Latin -- I would think it's more likely that Pilate spoke another language in this instance, since he had presumably been dealing with Jews all day.

Jesus was required to write the Titulus and it was written in Greek, Latin and Hebrew. Jesus and his disciples were among 1:40 the most educated people of the time. The Gospels were written in Greek for the Hellenized world. Jews travelled extensively at this time. Most people n the past were multilingual. They were not yokels.

This argument warrants an eyeroll. Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel. That would require using the common language of the known world at that time and if writting texts that they wanted as many people as possible to be able to read; they would write it in the common tongue.

Exactly. Several verses in the NT directly correspond to passages found in the Septuagint. Including a roll of Scripture Christ himself read from in a synagogue.
Don't let facts spoil her yt income. 😠
🤣🤣🤣
LXX wasn't the mainstream translation in Judaea even in Greek. LXX was already known to diverge from the Masoretic Text, so Theodotion would (later) make another translation for rabbinic use. LXX would have been considered a rogue translation used only where proto-Theodotionic translations weren't found.
Also you're forgetting Aramaic. A translation existed in Qumran for Job. I haven't read David Shepherd's study so I don't know where it stands on the "targum" genre, which is technically "late Jewish Literary Aramaic"; but clearly translations were already in process.
Anyway, on topic of Qumran, in Jesus' time plenty of Jews still spoke Hebrew. There's Qumran, but also the Shephela dialect which migrated to... the Galilee, giving us Mishnaic Hebrew.
@@zimrielTheodotion made his translation in the 2nd century...
It's also fairly tricky to determine if Jewish Scriptures dating to any point after the foundation of Christianity are more accurate than the LXX, because many early Christian apologists (such as Justin Martyr) would accuse the Jews of removing passages or changing words or phrases in an attempt to subvert Christianity. That isn't entirely unlikely, either, as even today there are instances of Jewish circles suppressing passages like Isaiah 53 because of the clear parallels to Christ. The LXX was incredibly common, though, with many passages in the New Testament being more in line with the LXX version than the Masoretic text. Considering the fact that Christianity also came around before any of the credible alternatives to the LXX were translated, and the fact that many early Christian apologists and theologians wrote in support of using the LXX, it's a real stretch to dismiss it so dramatically.
@@andrewlyon8924 quick note to acknowledge that I did get Theodotion's date wrong in my original comment which I then corrected.
However we do own corrections to the Greek in the MT direction which may predate Theodotion himself. The "kaige" revisions are a case in point. Those are what I'd consider "protoTheodotion" translations which would have been more acceptable to Greek-speaking Jews outside Philo's Alexandria.

Jesus worked with his father as a carpenter for many years before his ministry, how he gonna sell his wares if he doesn’t speak the language of the market
Not only was he a carpenter, he and his father were carpenters in Nazareth. Nazareth was essentially a work camp for those building Ceasaria. Herod the great commissioned Caesaria as a little Rome in the Palestinian region.

Of course the true God understands every language. Allah, however, only knows Arabic.

The entire region spoke mostly Greek not to mention Jesus had plenty of conversations with Greek speaking gentiles throughout the gospels.
@Testify :
At 02:00 you said it is obvious Jesus was not speaking Latin. How do you know? He could, and for 2 reasons:
1. If Jesus knew Latin, they could directly speak in Latin instead of using a middle language. Keep in mind there is no mention of the language spoken + no interpretor.
2. If Jesus is God, don't you think he can speak all living/dead/future languages? Of course yes.

If you read Mark’s gospel in Greek, it is obviously the writer’s second or later language. It’s only English-speakers who think there’s something strange about speaking multiple languages. My relatives in a certain Balkan country spoke their native language, plus German and Russian. The country I was born in has three different official languages and one of them isn’t actually official, it’s just what all government and business and most education are done in. Throughout human history it has been *normal* for people to speak more than one language. This is why English is a mishmash of Germanic, Romance, and some Celtic. For what it’s worth, there is a 4th or 5th century translation of the Bible into Aramaic called the Peshitta and the Diatessaron goes back to the 2nd century.
Apostles' Creed is the essence of Christianity. Memorizing one page wasn't difficult, when people didn't have phones, their only entertainment was telling stories. The Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Yes it is deeply embedded in their personality, they don't seem to keep in mind other nations speek other language. Even if they don't fully understand your english they don't try to help you fix it, most of them just let you speek broken english and some of them start mocking you because of your english.
No, it's not "only English speakers". Some Francophones and other major language groups think the same. But please bear in mind that Nigeria and India are two of the biggest English speaking populations in the world and hardly monolingual. Even within the British Isles, at least a million indigenous people have a decent working knowledge of another language usually a Celtic one.
p.s. Thank you for remembering the Celtic influence on English, it's often overlooked.

If Jesus is God that would imply he can speak any language
Yes but he also came to experience what is it being a human, there was many times he could use his powers to give himself something but he refused to do it. It is a big part of our experience we can't communicate easily with each other.
To me this type of objection "Not speaking greek" has always been silly to me because in programming almost all languages even ones written in non English speaking counties like Ruby (Japan) and Python (originally Netherlands) only use English for the actual programming words and most documentation is in English so programmers have to know at least a little bit of English to make sense of anything.
Obviously not an exact parallel but just to show that even nowadays where there is more is a focus of on trying to cater to people's own languages and there being much faster translations, there are still entire massive industries that mainly use one language.
The gospels even mention Jesus and his disciples going to Decapolis, a region full of Greek villages. I'm sure they would be able to speak some Greek if they're going around interacting with the locals.
As a Hellenen this comment brings me joy.We have all type of Polis here Tripoli =3 cities Pentapoli=5 cities Dekapoli=10 cities.Megalopoli=Big city ,Mitropoli which firstly meant "city which create another colony basically=mother-city but in English it was changed to Metropolis which is a synonym of Megalopolis.Komopoli= small city or big village.
As a greek and a Christian orthodox thank you for bringing that issue about the language i use in my everyday life. I want to point something that many people forgetting or ignore. Greek was a Lingua franca for the Romans for governing reasons but what about the others? Why a fisherman wanted to learn greek to sell fishes instead of the customer to learn few Aramaic, few numbers and the names of the coins and few fishes! The most common was that fisherman's and farmers and general the poor people was uneducated and those who spoke greek was the wealth and educated people.
The truth is that in Palestine, Syria Lebanon (today's name) and Egypt was predominantly speaking greek areas, not as a second language but as first! At least at the age of jesus. Many of the names of Hebrew leaders had greek names and the most strong argument is the translation of the Tora from Hebrew to Greek and the great conflict among the Hebrew for that reason. But the fact is that they translate it because the majority was Greek speaking people. There are more facts about but the comment will be so long 😅
Greek was to that time, thanks to Alexander the Great, what English is today. Pretty every one spoke it as a second language.
Even if they did not SPEAK it, they might read it. Or understand it by listening. Anecdotally, and I’m sure many people can agree they know people like this-I grew up with a friend whose parents only spoke Chinese to her. She refused to speak it and would answer them in English.
Now I live in a neighborhood that is Hispanic and witness the same among the younger ones who speak English back to their Spanish speaking parents.
Thanks to the internet I have been learning multiple languages but can’t write or speak them-I just read them and get a few words and use context clues.
Even after 7 years of school-Spanish, I don’t SPEAK it but could read a Spanish novel.
Also, the English language is a mix of a lot of other languages, I think I read that 40% of English is derived from French! So while there are Americans who would say they know no French, they might be able to pick out half the meanings of a French text.
And currently most people think Latin is a dead language, but it’s so much part of English that you could say we speak Latin 😂
Anyway, languages are weird and to other people’s points, if you believe Jesus is God, He can understand any language 🤣

Yet another reason to not use AI bots.
Greek was the common language of Eastern Mediterranean due to Alexander's conquest. Literally, there were disciples of Jesus with greek names like Andrew or Phillip. Even Peter (Πέτρος) has Greek etymology from the word stone (πέτρα). Even high priests of Jews had greek names like Menelaus, Aristobulus or Alexander.
It wasn’t a “Palestinian” region. Palaestina, the Roman replacement for Judea, is a latinized transliteration of Pleshet (or Philistia), the land of the Philistines (Plishtim), who were the Hebrews’ sworn-enemies in the 7th century BCE. The Romans changed the province’s name from Judea to Syria Palaestina somewhere in the 2nd century CE, before or after the Bar Kokhba Revolt, to further ridicule the Jews-much after Jesus’ time. It is true that Herodotus and other prominent Greeks called the land Palaistine (eventually Palaestina) centuries beforehand, but their naming of it always referred to it as an extension, a district, of Syria. Indeed, Syria itself was often called Palaestina by later accounts. Therefore, Jesus was not from a “Palestinian” territory, not only because of issues of chronology, but also because it was an elastic term, used interchangeably for vastly different areas, and it is only afterwards that the term became more confined and recognized. I’d stick to calling it Judea.
You can call it whatever you want, biblical scholars always called it 1st century Palestine since the 18th century when the Bible scholarship came to be. They still call it that.
@@mybad2603You ll be surprised to find out that Eastern Roman historians called people from various nations accordying to the previous ruler of the Geographical area they occupied.Persian and Scythian could mean Arab,Hun,Turk,Mongol and Turkish depending the context.
Jews spoke Greek, this isn't a theory it is just fact, sorry to burst your bubble.
After the death of Alexander the Great, Judea was affected by Hellenization. Some Jews, especially the wealthy urban class, scholars, teachers, and intellectuals, wanted to adopt a Greek lifestyle and give up Jewish law, this also resulted in Jewish temples being replaced by Greek ones, Greek Traditions seeping into Jewish ones, and of course Greek becoming a prevalent language, even to many commoners.
Centuries of Hellenization eventually led to the Maccabean revolt which resulted in many Greeks being driven out of Judea & Greek statues & temples being destroyed and replaced.
However as with any kind of colonization, language stayed. By the time of Christ, a large portion of jews would have spoken Greek, along with other languages such as Aramaic, Arabic, Hebrew & Latin.
According to Stanley Porter (1993) Did Jesus ever teach in Greek: 68% of all the ancient Jewish inscriptions in the Mediterranean are written in Greek. In Judea alone, it is estimated that 55-60% of all of them are in Greek
In this period, the Jewish council was called by a Greek name. (Sanhedrin) - Greek synedrion.
According to Peter William Van Hurst's Ancient Jewish Epitaphs: The first impression one gains from these data is that Greek was one of the great majority among the Jews in the Imperial period, probably of more than two thirds of them.
The Essenes, the Jewish sect that lived in the wilderness and fought against imperialism and foreigners had Greek versions of the scripture, given that they are extremely nationalistic & conservative, it is unlikely that they wouldn't have used the Greek language unless it was a long standing practice.
There's literally dozens of paragraphs I could use, such as the fact that Greek was used in the court of Herod, that it was known to be widely used in Judean cities such as Sephoras and Tiberias, both of which are situated extremely close to Nazareth, the birthplace of Jesus, or that the signage for Jesus when he was crucified said King of the Jews, in not just Hebrew, but also you guessed it Greek & Latin, this was not a message to Romans & Greeks but the Jews.
Biblical researchers & authors such as Maurice Casey, Stantley E. Porter, Lee Levine, & Scott Gleaves give a lot of evidence towards the fact that Jesus spoke Greek.
In Nazareth Jesus would have had zero reason to learn Greek, and probably no way to learn Greek. Rural Galilee was completely Jewish (culturally) and thoroughly Aramaic (linguistically). Even when Jesus was an adult, there is no reference to him visiting a major city (until he goes to Jerusalem at the end of his life), or speaking Greek, or knowing Greek. He was a rural Jew in the Jewish hinterlands of Galilee. He almost certainly could not speak Greek.
@ Considering that 60%+ Jews at the time spoke Greek either fully and partially and that Nazareth and the cities near it had the highest rates of Greek speakers, I’d have to say you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
*asks for 1 word answers

She rigged GPT. I asked chatgpt if jesus spoke greek and it said this
"Yes, it is likely that Jesus spoke some Greek, though it was probably not his primary language. Greek was widely spoken in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 1st century due to the influence of the Hellenistic culture established by Alexander the Great and maintained under Roman rule. However, Jesus' everyday language was most likely Aramaic, the common tongue of Jews in Galilee and Judea at that time. He also likely had some knowledge of Hebrew, which was used in religious and scholarly contexts.
Here’s why Jesus may have spoken some Greek:
Geographic Context: Galilee, where Jesus spent much of his life, was a multicultural region where Greek-speaking communities coexisted with Jewish populations.
Trade and Interaction: Greek was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire, used for trade and communication between people of different native tongues. Jesus, as a carpenter and a preacher, may have encountered Greek speakers.
Scriptural References: In the Gospels, Jesus has interactions with non-Jewish individuals, such as the Roman centurion (Matthew 8:5-13), and it is possible these interactions took place in Greek.
While Jesus likely used Aramaic in most of his teachings and interactions, Greek would have been useful for communicating with diverse audiences in the region."
"Multicultural" - anachronistic terminology there, especially given the contemporary overtones of that word. Certainly not multicultural in the modern sense.
For the umpteenth time, Jesus likely spoke Greek while dialoguing with Pontius Pilate because Pilate didn’t speak Aramaic or Hebrew. The Disciples also knew Greek.
Or Jesus knew Latin. Not impossible either.
1:14 the land was not named Palestine until much later
That's true but it's been called that for so long it just kinda sticks and when researching and citing other's work, they're gonna refer to it as such
The name is actually older. It comes from the Philistines of Old Testament fame and it existed for a few centuries before becoming the official name for Roman Judea in early 2nd century.
The modern name Palestine came into English via Latin.
Interesting. We have also to take in account what do we mean by "speaking greek": being fluent? Being able to communicate? Or only having some notions of the language?

@@ignaciorequena9182 At the time, the land was a province of the Roman Empire called “Palestina”.
@@prilosec5771turbo false. Philistine isnt “the earlier translation of Palestine”, they are etymologically foreign to eachother. And Galilee is nowhere near Philistia. Totally different areas of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, literally polar ends of eachother. “Palestina” was the exonym given to Israel by Greeks which was derived from the word for wrestler (παλεστής) in Greek. Philistia/Philistines is derived from פלשטים (“Plshtim”) which is a play on the word for invader in Hebrew (פולש). Palestina literally means Israel (excluding the God part) because Israel means wrestle/struggle with God. It has always been and has never ceased to be Israel so no, calling it Palestine is inaccurate.
Please, dont be so arrogantly ignorant.
At the time it wasn't called Israel, it was Palestine since the Romans had control of the area.
@@ChristianPhilosemite I don't get the debate over the term "Palestine." Different nations had different names for places. Like how sometimes the Old Testament refers to Egypt as Mizraim (Genesis 10:13), or the way they would refer to king Ahasuerus, even though we have no clue where they came up with such a name for a Persian king. The Greeks also called the people of Tyre and Sidon "Phoenicians," and today that area is known as Lebanon. In fact, the Greeks didn't call themselves Greeks, but rather called themselves Hellenists, and even today they call their language Ελληνικά (Ellenika) which is clearly closer to "Hellenika" than "Greek." You can also take into consideration the fact that the various tribes native to America were all called "Indians" for quite some time; and even now, "Native American" is not something they would have called themselves, because the land was not known as America until Europeans settled it. There are countless examples like these, because this has always been how the world works; the names that nations are called by are rarely consistent, and various reasons can lead to a nation or an area being called by various different names.
What the heck with "Palestine"? There was no Palestine when Jesus lived
filistine
@tziodim Again, there was no Philistine when Jesus lived. Then people called the Philistines as a distinct people, disappeared several centuries earlier! When Jesus lived the region was Judea, and the Romans renamed it Palaestina in 135AD, that's a century after Jesus. And this renaming was a political move to suppress Jewish identity rather than continuing the existence of Philistines. And modern day Palestinians are arabs and have nothing to do with ancient Philistines
every carpenter from roman palestine was literated and could speak greek freely
Interestingly, it has been found that Hebrew was a spoken language up into the 2nd century AD and at least the gospel of Matthew was undoubtedly originally written in Hebrew. There are no known (at least by the public) original Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew, but they discovered this by recognizing the use of Hebrew word puns and other things that only make sense in Hebrew. For instance, when Gabriel tells Mary and Joseph that they will name their baby “Yeshua”, he gives an explanation as to why the name Yeshua is given. He says
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.’”
Matthew 1:21
How does that make sense in Greek when his name is Hebrew? Ίσους “Isous” in Greek has no meaning. In western cultures you string together some letters and make a name or a word. It’s abstract. In Hebrew, all consonants themselves have meanings and therefore there are parent roots (to consonants) which then give child consonants (three consonants) which give us the roots for all words coming from the parent root. In Hebrew, the sentence I quoted goes like this
“הִיא יוֹלֶדֶת בֵּן וְאַתָּה תִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ, כִּי הוּא יוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת עַמּוֹ מֵחַטֺּאתֵיהֶם."”
מתי א:21 תנ״ך ומודרני
“…You shall name him Yeshua for he will yoshi’a God’s people.”
Only in Hebrew does the word pun appear, and only in Hebrew does that sentence even make sense. If the Hebrew name has meaning, and the Greek word doesn’t, why does Gabriel explain his purpose through the name Yeshua? Only works in Hebrew.

Hey Testify, don't forget that John could have easily dictated to one of his disciples. One of the ancient "Anti-Marcionite" prologues reads:
The Gospel of John was revealed and given to the churches by John while still in the body, just as Papias of Hieropolis, the close disciple of John, related in the exoterics, that is, in the last five books. Indeed he wrote down the gospel, while John was dictating carefully.
The Septuagint (Greek translation of the Tanakh) was written 100+ years before Jesus arrived **specifically for modern Hebrews to be able to read their own scriptures**
Who really wrote gospel of John?
John 21:24 - “This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.”

Hey Testify, I'm not a Muslim nor defending their religion, but I do want to correct 4:22 by saying that Arabic as a language did, in fact, exist during Jesus' time. It was spoken with various older dialects in Arabia itself at least since the 5th century BC, as described by Herodotus and others. Since it is a Semitic language just like Aramaic and Hebrew (though a different branch), Arabic is probably as old as they are. Great video otherwise!
Possibly he mixed up the written language, which was later, with the spoken language
Arabic went through a lot of changes before we get to the modern version.
Hebrew on the other hand was preserved by the Rabbis as a scholarly language and remains MOSTLY unchanged.
Was it Arabic or Proto Arabic?
That was just Proto Arabic. The Arabic we all know today didn't exist in Jesus' time.
Early Church historian Eusebius points out that the Gospel of Matthew was written in Aramaic ,and that in his day (in the 300's) there were still copies. They have been lost. Luke was a Greek Speaker, as was Paul...and all the other points are valid, too, in this video.
Of course it is possible that the Apostles dictated their letters and Gospels to a scribe who wrote what they said in Greek (Saint Paul and St. John both used scribes, we know from the Scriptures, for Paul, and for St. John according to Church history). St. Peter and the other Apostles traveled extensively throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. They very likely knew some Greek.

I would absolutely love to see a video from you on who you think wrote hebrews
Hebrew as a spoken vernacular language never really died out in the Holy Land. Firstly, the Babylonians only took the upper classes and left the lower classes in the land of Judah. Secondly the exile was only for about 80 years or so. These circumstances wouldn't be the cause for a death of a spoken language.
Mishnaic Hebrew (postbiblical Hebrew) was the dominant native tongue of the Holy Land. The very fact that a form of Hebrew exists that is distinct from the Masoretic texts testifies to the organic development of said language. This Hebrew could be read in the Mishnah.
Aramaic was certainly spoken amongst communities that migrated from the Babylonian Jewish communities. But it didn't have any dominance over Mishnaic Hebrew.
Regarding Greek, I would definitely agree with this video. Due to the close proximity of the Galilee to major hellenistic metropolitan communities, Galileans would definitely have encountered the language frequently.

i think its important to note at 1:13 and 3:25 the term Palestine as a name for the region didn't exist. It was only about 100 years after Jesus' death (following the Roman suppression of the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD) that the region was renamed by the Romans from Judaea to Syria-Palaestina to try and erase the Jewish connection to the land; and only in the 4th century was it just called Palestine. The name was derived from the Philistines, Greek invaders who were constantly fighting the Jews. At the time, the land was called Judea or the Kingdom of Judah/Israel so that name would be more historically appropriate.
