There exists a consensus among scholars that Jesus of Nazareth spoke the Aramaic language. [1] [2] Aramaic was the common language of Roman Judaea, and was thus also spoken by Jesus' disciples. Although according to new findings Hebrew was also a spoken language among Jews in Judea during the 1st century AD. [3]
Biblical Hebrew is the main language of the Hebrew Bible. Aramaic accounts for only 269 [10] verses out of a total of over 23,000. Biblical Aramaic is closely related to Hebrew, as both are in the Northwest Semitic language family. Some obvious similarities and differences are listed below: [11]
Aramaic was the language of Jesus, [31] [32] [33] who spoke the Galilean dialect during his public ministry, as well as the language of several sections of the Hebrew Bible, including parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra, and also the language of the Targum, the Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Bible.
[12] [13] Most scholars agree that during the early part of the first century Aramaic was the mother tongue of virtually all natives of Galilee and Judea.

Jesus (/ ˈ dʒ iː z ə s /) is a masculine given name derived from Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς; Iesus in Classical Latin) the Ancient Greek form of the Hebrew name Yeshua (ישוע). [1] [2] As its roots lie in the name Isho in Aramaic and Yeshua in Hebrew, it is etymologically related to another biblical name, Joshua.
Both versions can be said to be in Aramaic rather than in closely related Hebrew because of the verb שבק (šbq) "abandon", which exists only in Aramaic. [29] [30] The Hebrew counterpart to this word, עזב (zb), is seen in the second line of the Old Testament's Psalm 22, which the saying appears to quote.
[422] [423] There is substantial consensus that Jesus gave most of his teachings in Aramaic [424] in the Galilean dialect. [425] [426] Other than Aramaic and Hebrew, it is likely that he was also able to speak in Greek. [427] [428] [429] Modern scholars agree that Jesus was a Jew of 1st-century Judea. [430]
