Was Greek the official "international" language at the time of Jesus? I was wondering why the new testament was written in Greek and not Hebrew (because Jesus's apostles who wwrote them were all Hebrew).
@MaLillyBoogan no, the first discipels of Jesus were Jews.The New Testament was written in greek because Paul and Luke for instance wrote in Greek. Luke was a gentile (not jew) who heard the gospel (good news) about Jesus, why He died on the cross: Gods salvation plan in short, believed and decided to help Paul with his ministry. Because Paul wrote to gentile (non jewish) churches, he wrote them in greek. He wrote for instance to the romans, the ephesians etc. All places in greece. Get it?
@mariamarin1958 there are 2 R's that are pronounced as in english. i cannot think of any other language that pronounces R the same.
