I think Christ, when the need arose, was multi-lingual. He spoke the Hebrew of the Scriptures and also spoke with the Syro-Phoenician woman who had the demon possessed daughter. There is, as you have read, a small group who contest the Aramaic of His cry on the cross, but as David will serve as King under Him in eternity and Israel will be the predominate nation in ages to come, I don't see a Gentile language as being the predominant one.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation (Mark 7:26a).

I say that a Greek woman would speak Greek (after all, the Seleucid Empire was Greek).

BP,

Are you Pentecostal by any chance?

Mark 7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

Matt. 15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

Here was have a Canaanite woman born in Northern Israel, married to a Greek and residing in what is now Lebanon. Given the Roman domination of the area we have a somewaht cosmopolitan citizen conversant in Hebrew, Aramaic/Syriac/Chaldee, Latin and Greek. I'd ask respectfully, what language did the exchange between her and the Lord take place in brother?

Grace and peace

Fred, how's this for way out: I believe in eternity the Bible will be either combined into one book, redivided by the Lord into 77 rather than the most incomplete 66(number of man and incompleteness) or that during the Tribulation/ Millenium 11 more books of Scripture are yet to be given by inspiration.

Grace and peace

Tony

The woman was culturally Greek, though Canaanitish. It is easy to tell that she spoke Greek.

This is merely for clarification brother, am I correct in assuming you are saying the conversation between this woman and Christ over the possessed daughter took place in Greek?

Grace and peace to you

Tony

LOL, come on brother, you don't even think we have the perfect Word in writing today. OF COURSE we will have the written Word of God in heaven, the KJB is the Word of God and Jesus is the Word in flesh. His WORDS (plural) are recorded forever in that Bible, and they aren't going anywhere. (John 1:14, Luke 21:33)

I heard about an old Jew who was sitting on a park bench in Moscow reading a book. A Russian soldier walked up and said, "What are you reading, old man?"

Old man: "I'm reading a Hebrew grammar."

Soldier: "You are too old to go to Israel, and besides, there are no emmigrant permits being given now."

Old man: "I expect to leave this world soon, and I understand that Hebrew is the language of Heaven."

Soldier: "But what if you don't go to heaven?"

Old man: "No problem. I already know Russian!" :p

Sadly, there's some truth to that joke.

Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
