Correct, and it was much easier to understand in written form than Hebrew. So even native Hebrew or Aramaic speakers could find reading Greek easier.

Most Old Testament scholars would find it an impossible task to translate English into Hebrew - and they have enough trouble translating Hebrew into English. Any New Testament scholar could translate English to Greek and back again without problem though.

The Romans controlled the entire region, so to suggest the Jewish people couldn't understand Greek is disingenuous.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
