What? I've never heard about that one.
Mark 14:51, 52. The actual ancient Greek is quite clear about the practically naked young (pre-pubescent being the closest comparative term) boy. They all would've been conversing in ancient Greek and the earliest records of the bible are in ancient Greek.
Here's another thing to think about. How old do you reckon the disciples were? Imagine, if you will, that our kneejerk answer comes from Renaissance era paintings and those alone and you need to aim the number significantly south of that. They were not older than Jesus.
They were speaking Anatolian and all of the gospels were written down at least decades after the events being described.
Where did you get that idea from?
Greek was the lingua franka of the Eastern med and his first language would've been aramaic. So, why would he ignore his first and second languages, to speak Turkish to a Jewish and roman audience?
