   How did Aramaic influence the language Jesus spoke?

   • One notable instance of Aramaic’s influence in the language Jesus spoke is in Mark 5:41, where Jesus resurrects a young girl, saying, “Talitha Cumi,” which translates to “Little girl, I say to you, get up.” The Aramaic phrase “ṭlīthā qūm,” although a simple expression, is one with a deep meaning.

Some people might playfully suggest that since Jesus is considered the Son of God and all-knowing, maybe He already knew English.
