On a lighter note - found this interesting and wanted to share -
Recently Pope Francis and PM Netanyahu discussed what language the Messiah, Jesus spoke. Francis said Aramaic, the PM, Hebrew.
Jesus was born a Jew to a Jewish maiden. Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the Roman-ruled region of Judea, now the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He grew up in Nazareth and ministered in Galilee, both in northern Israel, and died in Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and to which Israelis and Palestinians lay claim.
Palestinians sometimes describe Jesus as a Palestinian. Israelis object to that.
“Jesus was a native Aramaic speaker,” but he would have also known Hebrew because there were extant religious writings in Hebrew.”
During Jesus’ time, Hebrew was spoken by the lower classes — “the kind of people Jesus ministered to.”
