In ancient times, Jews spoke Hebrew. From about 250 BCE to about 200 CE, the main language of the Jews was Aramaic. Since then, Jews have migrated to almost every country in the world, and they speak the local languages of the regions they live in. Today, most Jews speak English as their native language or as a second language. Hebrew is the second most spoken language among Jews.
Generally, Jews from Western and Central Europe spoke the languages of the countries they lived in (such as German in the case of German and Austrian Jews, French in the case of French Jews), and many East European Jews spoke Yiddish.

If you had just asked what language the Jews of Spain spoke, the question would have been easy. Jews spoke to one-another in Ladino, also known as Judaeo-Spanish. They also spoke the standard Spanish of the time.What language was spoken to Jews depends on who was speaking to them. Muslims (Arabs, Muladíes, and Amazigh/Moors) would typically speak to them in Arabic. Spaniards would usually speak to them in the various Spanish languages, like Old Castilian, Leonese, Old Catalonian and Aragonese. The Spanish languages and Ladino are more-or-less mutually intelligible, so the Jews could respond in Ladino.
The language is called Hebrew. The people can be called Jews, or Hebrews, or Israelites, or Israelis.
In the Bible, or in His whole life? Obviously the second is impossible to know, and the first you can look up on a Bible website, but it depends what version you are looking at. The most accurate would have to be a Bible in the same language that Jesus spoke. That would have been Hebrew and Aramaic.
