Joshua 5:13-15
The Decapolis was Greek speaking and evidently far more prosperous and cosmopolitan than Israel or Judah.
In fact.. the Thessalonians were Hellenized Jews.

Romans?
Latin was the language of law and the Roman military .. and Jesus was unlikely to be familiar with the vocabulary of these worlds.
Greek is more likely. It was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire - used by the civilian administrators.
And there were the cities of the Decapolis, mostly in Jordan, where Greek language and culture dominated. So Jesus would probably have known some Greek.
The Decapolis was a center of Greek and Roman culture in a region which was otherwise populated by Semitic-speaking people (Nabataeans, Arameans, and Judeans).

Personally, I use nano silver. I wonder if anyone has done an analysis of that “miracle” water?
Poor susceptible people.
So was Paul, as you know
No Salonica was in North Eastern Greece... and the language of the Roman Empire was Greek.
Yep.. Tarsus was in south central Turkey and they spoke Greek.
Celsus, Chrysostom and Origen all thought speaking in tongues was not valid and disparaged it.

Paul was a prisoner in Rome.. and died about 64-68 AD before the destruction of the Temple and the tribulation. Its a good question.. I don't know... probably some.
Glad to hear it.. I didn't know that.

Paul wasn't a prisoner from day one of his time in the Roman Empire,he either spoke Latin,or he spoke Latin thru speaking in tongues!
Most of the Roman Empire spoke Greek.
Speaking in tongues is nonsense.. Even today most people in the Middle East speak 3 languages...
Here's a time line of Paul's travels.. He wasn't in Rome long.
