You obviously have short term memory loss!
I explained in some detail that BEFORE the Romans came to Palestine it was part of an empire originally carved out by Alexander the Great. That empire in various forms existed for some centuries before it was in turn conquered by the Romans.
By that time, not just Palestine but most of the Mediterranean had well and truly embraced the Greek language and customs.
The Romans did not reverse this process of Hellenisation.
They could care less what language and customs people had as long as they bowed the knee to Roman authority.
So, by the way, the language spoken right across the Roman Empire, at the time that Jesus Christ walked on earth, was Koine Greek!
It was the second language of most but it was still the lingua franca spoken all over the Roman empire INCLUDING Palestine!
I have got to say that this information is so easily independently verifiable that there can only be one reason that you refuse to accept what I am saying and that is an incorrect, but preconceived religious ideation...

I am sorry you are not rational...
NOTHING in my post that you quoted proves in any way your accusation that people are claiming that Jesus spoke and taught exclusively in Greek!
Why would I like it when you deliberately misrepresent me - all you doing right now is proving how dishonest and malicious you are prepared to be!

It comes down to language n all versions, though given some license. Our Maker is going to "return" to us a pure language so all may call upon Him with One Name.
Some people today believe they know His name, but no one truly does except for theSon, Yeshuia. Yahweh is a characteristice of our Maker and it can be translated as "I am that I am" meaning He will manifest Himself in any manner pleasing Him, and tht pleases me. Another viable translation is "The Self-existing," and being so He would be all might and all capable to manifest Himself in any manner fitting His design.

Hey! Erratica, why don't you just start a thread on bashing me? You see even when folks agree with me on someone elses posts I shy away from third party references and bashing, but I see it is not beneath your standard. At least you do not have need to rise to any occasion with that referne. Cannot hold you own it seems.

I sometimes wonder if it is all a game people play, it seems to be the same people over and over who think they can come in and mistepresent what people believe, and think it is perfectly ok to do so, and if anyone tries to say something to them about what they are doing, it just turns into a war of backbiting, blameshifting and hatred which you would not think you would see in a christian setting.

What you did is just one more time rove you have no moral guidance, you lied about what someone said and refuse to confess it ebpven when it is shown to you
He did not say jesus ONLY spoke Greek, he said jesus would have known and spoken greek, as well as aramaic and other languages,
Yet you refuse to acknowledge you screwed up and misunderstood him.

How does that quote prove your accusation that anyone believes that Jesus taught and spoke exclusively in Greek???
This is the sentence you quoted from my post: "The point is He would have spoken Koine Greek at times too, just not when talking with other Jews..."
Please explain how this could possibly be interpreted as "Jesus spoke and ministered exclusively in Greek"?
