Is the Holy Spirit Misleading You?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

It's a stretch to claim that the Yeshua character and his disciples didn't speak or read Greek.  They might not have been able to read or write a Greek dialect but the fairy tale says that the Greeks could understand what Yeshua and his disciples were speaking.  Therefore, for the purposes of the story one group or both groups were multi-lingual.

The dominant language in Palestine in the early first century was Aramaic:

Hebrew was also known, but probably not Greek, as that was the language of the educated, and the Gospels say that the disciples were illiterate.

Well, according to the words of the fairy tale =

John 12:20-27 = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...EV;NLT;GNV

So you have a bunch of Greeks who worship at the Passover.  They spoke to the Apostles requesting a meeting with Yeshua.  If the Apostles and Jesus couldn't speak and understand the Greek dialect then the Greeks must have been fluent in Hebrew or Aramaic.  

This is a mystery indeed.
