We don't know that for sure. It may just be that of the story teller. I'd have to see that trick with my own eyes to believe it. Even then, I'd have to call James Randi in to reveal how the trick was being done.

He may not have been able to understand Greek. He spoke Aramaic, a Syriac language from Mesopotamia, not from Athens. I understand that since the NT is written in Greek that it's easy to jump to a conclusion that Jesus spoke Greek. That's a mistake that novices make.

Personally, I think that the reason the NT was written in Greek was because they were writing to a Hellenic market.

What makes you think that we are wise?
