Mike details the evidence for Jesus's Greek fluency: (1) Nazareth may have been a hub for carpenters working on Roman building projects requiring Greek communication; (2) a Greek inscription was found in Nazareth; (3) Greek was becoming the lingua franca; (4) Hellenist Jews in Acts spoke only Greek, not Hebrew/Aramaic; (5) Peter as fisherman likely spoke some Greek due to commercial dealings in mixed Jewish-Gentile regions.
