==Other languages==

Based on the symbolic renaming or nicknaming of some of his [[Apostles of Jesus|apostles]], it is also likely that Jesus or at least one of his apostles knew enough [[Koine Greek]] to converse with non-Judaeans. It is reasonable to assume that Jesus was well versed in [[Biblical Hebrew|Hebrew]] for religious purposes, as it is the liturgical language of [[Second Temple Judaism|Judaism]].<ref name="Barr-1970" >{{Cite journal | last=Barr | first=James | author-link=James Barr (biblical scholar) | title=Which language did Jesus speak? – some remarks of a Semitist | journal=Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester | url=https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/uk-ac-man-scw:1m2973 | year=1970 | volume=53 | number=1 | pages=9–29 | doi=10.7227/BJRL.53.1.2 | url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref name="Porter-1997" >{{Cite book | last=Porter | first=Stanley E. | author-link=Stanley E.
