What language did Jesus speak to his disciples?

Answer 1

He probably deliverred most of His speeches in Aramaic, a dialect of Hebrew frequently used in Northern Israel where He was from. Of course He spoke and wrote Hebrew, but He was probably conversant in Greek, and Roman (Latin) too.

Answer 2

Jesus' native language was Aramaic, and there are very few examples of Aramaic in the Greek Scriptures. The Aramaic passages are all direct quotes from Jesus himself, perhaps indicating that these passages are important enough not to render in the Koine Greek of the rest of the Greek Scriptures.

As a businessman (carpenter), Jesus probably knew Koine Greek, at least enough to conduct business, since this was the common language of business. As a Jewish Rabbi he would also have known Hebrew. As a child, he lived in Egypt, most likely in the Roman-controlled area around Alexandria, where the common language was Greek. The Gospel writers, who wrote in Koine Greek, quote his references to the Old Testament Scriptures either from the Greek Old Testament translation known as the Septuagint, or using a fresh translation from Hebrew. But when talking with people about his mission, he most likely spoke Aramaic.

Among the Aramaic passages in the Greek scriptures are: Talitha Kum, which means Little girl, get up; and Eli Eli Lema Sabachthani? which means My God, my God, why have you foresaken me? There are various other examples of single Aramaic words spelled out in the Greek alphabet. See link.

Answer 3

A:

The language used by Palestinian Jews was Aramaic. It is possible that Jesus might have known a few words of Greek, but he would have been unlikely to be able to converse in this language. A few Jews outside the priesthood might have known a smattering of Hebrew, which is quite similar to Aramaic, but again this would have been like a foreign language to Jesus and the disciples.

Another answer:

Probably Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew.

Another answer:

The common language of Israel at that time was Aramaic.

Answer 4

Lord Jesus teached in Aramean language.
