1 | Did early disciples use interpreters? | Bible general Archive 2 | paultr | 114347 | ||
I had an unbliever ask me, "How did the apostles, who were considered uneducated, learn to speak in the languages of the people in the cities and towns they travelled to?" Did Thomas travel to India? How did he communicate with those with the Indian language? Is there any evidence they travelled with interpreters? Thank you. |

Two considerations here. First most the world spoke Greek, Alexander the Great conquered most of the civilized world and one of the things the Greeks did was transform the culture of the defeated country to Greek. Secondly I believe one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit is tongues. I think many times God allowed the apostles to speak in their native tongue but to be heard in the tongue of the listener. I believe this is what we see at Pentecost. I don’t think the Apostles spoke in other tongue. It say each man heard them in his own tongue. Act 2:8 I have a very good friend that is Nazarene and he was preaching a message in English and gave an altar call. A women responded and he lead her in the sinners prayer, suggested she read John and after some small talk he went to talk to some other people. When he got a chance he caught back up to the woman, he wanted to share more of Jesus with her. When he started to talk she got a funny look, that changed to fear and later to anger. He couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Then he learned she only talked Spanish. She had heard his whole message in Spanish, and even when he lead her in the sinners prayer but now she was only hearing English. She thought at first he was playing, then she thought something was wrong and finally she thought he was mocking her. God had made a way for hear to his message and to get her saved, I believe this to be a one of the gifts of tongues. EdB |
