Pope and Netanyahu Spar Over the Language of Jesus

"Jesus was here, in this land. He spoke Hebrew," Netanyahu told Francis, at a public meeting in Jerusalem in which the Israeli leader cited a strong connection between Judaism and Christianity.
"Aramaic," the pope interjected.
"He spoke Aramaic, but he knew Hebrew," Netanyahu shot back.

I think both are wrong. How do they know what he spoke as he never said anything for himself. Could he even talk?

Odd fellow that one

Those who listened carefully to the Pope couldn't miss the point that his holiness didn't once refer to Israel as a Jewish state; and by continuously calling Israel "the Holy Land" he reinforced the Vatican's traditional position that refuses to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
This is even more disturbing in light of the Pope's speech in Bethlehem earlier in the day, in which he framed his presence not as a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but as an official visit to "the State of Palestine."

Who? The Pope or Jesus? I think you misunderstood my post. I was talking about jesus not the Pope or Netanyahu.ghost wrote:He spoke and wrote in Latin…The Crow wrote:How do they know what he spoke as he never said anything for himself. Could he even talk?

Per Carotta Julius Caesar (who spoke Latin, doncha no?) was the exemplar for Jesus.
http://www.earlywritings.com/forum/view ... 381#p12381 Per Ghost on May 24.Caesar was deified into Divus Iulius. Since Divus Iulius is imaginary, then Divus Iulius can be modified by people. That's how the changes were possible.
Mark was the first flamen Divi Iulii, which means the first leader of the Divus Iulius cult.

I think it's pretty likely that He could actually speak at least one language.The Crow wrote:I think both are wrong. How do they know what he spoke as he never said anything for himself. Could he even talk?
Re: Pope and Netanyahu Spar Over the Language of Jesus
And where is the proof for that? How is it known that he (jesus) spoke more than one language?Lion IRC wrote:I think it's pretty likely that He could actually speak at least one language.The Crow wrote:I think both are wrong.

Re: Pope and Netanyahu Spar Over the Language of Jesus
Given that the Pope will argue from the NT, you would be able to tell that Jesus spoke Aramaic and could read Hebrew. No conclusions for actual persons implied.The Crow wrote:And where is the proof for that? How is it known that he (jesus) spoke more than one language?

Just tidying up the quotes.Ulan wrote:Given that the Pope will argue from the NT, you would be able to tell that Jesus spoke Aramaic and could read Hebrew. No conclusions for actual persons implied.
The suggestion that Jesus never said anything, and the rhetorical ..."Could he even talk?" is a premise far more extraordinary than its negation - ie. the alternative possibility that, (like most adult human beings living in that region at the time) He could actually speak at least one language of some sort.
