Both the Greeks and the Romans tried to supplant it, but the Jews didn't like the Greeks or the Romans and they liked the Persians (who'd been pretty lenient rulers who let them run their own affairs pretty much without interference), so they stuck with Aramaic while surrounding areas slowly went Greek. Hebrew was still spoken, but primarily as liturgical language, not as a daily language.<br /><br />So if a historical prophet named Jesus actually existed he likely would have spoken Aramaic. It seems unlikely, however, that there actually was a Jesus. There are no contemporary records of Jesus's life and death, just accounts written based on hearsay by people who weren't even born at the time Jesus supposedly died. The Jesus cult appears to have originated several decades after the supposed death of Jesus, as a response to the John The Baptist cult, where an offshoot of the Essenes cult needed a great prophet too to compete with the John The Baptist cult. No, more than a great prophet. A <i>messiah</i>! So it's likely that the only language Biblical Jesus spoke was the language of thin air.<br /><br />Oh wait, what's that sputtering sound? On. You're still here, TBL? Here, please hold this nice ripe slab of beef while I step backwards and whistle. Ignore the velociraptors, they're tame...<br />BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-25126611340529883682013-10-10T22:48:43.675-05:002013-10-10T22:48:43.675-05:00I thought Jesus was Jewish.
