    Probably Aramaic.

    I concur with Nomdeplume. New Testament itself, as well as an understanding of life in Judea during the first century A.D. showed that it’s most likely that Jesus spoke Aramaic as his primary language, and that he almost certainly knew Hebrew and perhaps Greek as well.

    Jesus was a rabbi, so as varon says He was well educated and multi-lingual.

    Thanks Nomdeplume. TU to you as well.
