Yes, many of the apostles likely spoke Greek, as it was a common language of communication in the eastern Mediterranean during the time of the New Testament. Greek was widely used in commerce and culture, especially in urban areas like Jerusalem and surrounding regions. Additionally, some apostles, such as Paul, were well-versed in Greek and used it in their writings and missionary activities. However, they likely also spoke Aramaic, which was the everyday language of the Jewish people in that region.
