Q16: Bart Ehrman's claim that John 3 "born again" wordplay couldn't have occurred in Aramaic — Jesus spoke Greek

Ehrman's argument: the Greek wordplay on "born again/from above" (anothen) in John 3 cannot work in Aramaic, implying John fabricated the Nicodemus conversation. Mike's response: the premise that Jesus did not speak Greek is contested. He references Peter Williams (Tyndale House Cambridge) who builds a case that Jesus was multilingual, partly due to working as a carpenter on Roman building projects that would have required Greek communication.
