Did St Paul speak Hebrew and Aramaic and did he write any manuscript in this language?
In Palestine itself, there were three main languages in use. Greek was the language of the Roman Empire and so anyone who spoke to the government or who engaged in trade would speak Greek. During the centuries in which Greek entered Palestine, from about 330 BC onwards, the main Jewish language was Aramaic which had been learned during the Babylonian Exile. Starting in the Exile, Hebrew had been relegated to a liturgical language. So it is probable that when Paul visited Jerusalem, he spoke Greek to the members of the Church. Also, Paul's discussion of the "Law," nomos, in Romans assumes the standard Greek meaning of the word. His theological explanation is not based on the Hebrew word Torah which is what nomos translates in the Greek Septuagint. We have no record of any manuscript written by Paul in Hebrew or Aramaic.
