All Paul's writings were in the Greek language, and in his missionary activities in Asia Minor and Greece he would have spoken Greek. Not all Jews of the Diaspora knew either Hebrew or Aramaic, but as a well-educated man Paul is likely to have known at least one, and probably both languages. His visits to Jerusalem tend to confirm that he could speak Aramaic and possibly Hebrew.

Acts 21:40 and 22:2 say that Paul spoke to the people in Hebrew, but this is not possible because few people outside the priesthood could understand Hebrew, and so the people would not have understood Paul's speeches. If these events in Acts really did happen, he would have been speaking Aramaic.
