As a man on earth, it appears that Jesus could well have used a form of Hebrew and a dialect of Aramaic. When Jesus came to Nazareth in Galilee and entered the synagogue there, he read from the prophecy of Isaiah, evidently as written in Hebrew. Nothing is said about Jesus' translating this passage into Aramaic. (Luke 4:16-21)
Concerning languages used in Palestine when Jesus Christ was on earth, Professor G. Ernest Wright states: "Greek and Aramaic were evidently the common tongues . . . Roman soldiers and officials might be heard conversing in Latin, while orthodox Jews may well have spoken a late variety of Hebrew with one another." No wonder the sign that Pilate had posted on Jesus' torture stake was written in three languages-Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. (John 19:20)
Alan Millard in his book Discoveries From the Time of Jesus says: "In the course of their daily duties the Roman governors certainly spoke Greek, and Jesus may have answered Pilate's questions at his trial in Greek." Although The Bible does not indicate whether this was the case, it is interesting to note that there is no mention of an interpreter being used for this conversation. (John 18:28-40)
According to Professor Wright, "we have no certain way of knowing whether [Jesus] could speak Greek or Latin, but in his teaching ministry he regularly used either Aramaic or the highly Aramaized popular Hebrew."-Biblical Archaeology, 1962, page 243.

What Languages did Joseph and Mary speak?
Because of the place they first were living, in Nazareth, they spoke Koine Greek, which was the language of the Government. They had to speak Hebrew to be able to go to the temple for worship, or to read the Holy Writings. They were in Egypt for a while, so they had to at least speak a little Egyptian and possibly other languages that are dead now.

Is Jesus part of the Old or New Testament?
Jesus is referenced in the Old Testament in prophetic terms, or in other words, the Old Testament predicts his coming to earth. In addition, it has been suggested that Jesus is part of the "we" or "us" that God refers to himself as throughout the Old Testament, as if Jesus existed with God prior to his physical form. However, the Old Testament does not explicitly address this - it is merely implied. The New Testament records the actual birth of Christ, his life, and his death. Specifically, the gospels (the first four books of the New Testament) - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - speak mainly on the life and teachings of Christ, while other books are based on his teachings, or comprised completely of his teachings.
