What languages did the 12 apostles speak?

Answer 1

Jesus most likely spoke Aramaic in a Gallilean dialect. Most of his lifetime was spent in Gallilean speaking areas. The apostles wrote in Aramiac so that people could have their stories in the same language after they were gone. Later writings in The Bible were in Hebrew. There is a controversy as to whether the early versions were written in or translated to Greek, but the early Church scholars say the translations came later. "Eusebius himself declared that "Matthew had begun by preaching to the Hebrews, and when he made up his mind to go to others too, he committed his own Gospel to writing in his native tongue [Aramaic], so that for those with whom he was no longer present the gap left by his departure was filled by what he wrote" (History of the Church 3:24 [inter 300-325])."

Answer 2
