Subject: language Jesus speak |
Bible Note: Clarification.............................................. Hello EdB, You bring up a very good point. It is quite possible that Jesus did not primarily speak Hebrew. However, we know that the Old Testament books of prophecy and the Torah were written in Hebrew. And we know that Jesus had an extensive knowledge of them even as a small boy (teaching in the temple when he was 12 years old). And He was often quoting Old Testament scriptures throughout His ministry. Therefore, I think it is clear that He at least knew Hebrew and spoke it sometimes. I fully admit that it doesn't say specifically in the Bible. But these ideas seem to make sense based on the little information that we have. |
