Professor Martin Hengel interview from the Christ Files part 1

As the music world farewells the king of pop Michael Jackson, academia mourns the loss of a scholar of truly biblical proportions. Martin Hengel was Professor of New Testament and Early Judaism at Germanys prestigious University of Tübingen from 1972 until (as Professor Emeritus) his death last Thursday (July 2). The author of dozens of important monographs and literally hundreds of technical articles, Professor Hengel's influence will be long-lasting. John Dickson had the enormous privilege of conducting what was perhaps Hengels last full-scale television interview (for a 2008 historical documentary). The uncut interview is made available here in his honour.

@GalenAus Certainly as God Jesus did/does understand all languages, but your question assumes He didn't become and wasn't really, truly, and fully a human being, like us in all respects but without sin. In becoming like us, Jesus, as a man, grew in wisdom and stature before God (the Father) and man.

Thank you for uploading.. He was a very special man, in theology and as well as a private person.

[GalenAus]

if jesus was 'god' or the son of god or whatever, why does it matter what language he spoke?

If he was a divine figure wouldn't he have been able to understand/speak any language?
