Where did you get that idea from?
Greek was the lingua franka of the Eastern med and his first language would've been aramaic. So, why would he ignore his first and second languages, to speak Turkish to a Jewish and roman audience?
I mixed up Aramaic and Anatolian, my bad.
No worries, I'm sure done worse this week alone.
Yeah, Koine Greek is common Greek, at the time. In my defense, its unlikely that they would've called it ancient Greek back then 😁.
So, to me, it i would figure that he would've spoken common Greek, in the way they use English in India, back in the days of the British empire. Of course, there's no way to be sure of that. Either way, anything approaching primary documents would've been in Greek, to a point where it might not even matter what language Jesus actually used.
From my understanding, the primary sources were oral traditions, only written down later.
I mean Anatolia is right there.
