pussyhotlady saidall i thought..it was Latin. Palestine was under Roman rule at a time Jesus lived.First Greek translation of Old Testament was completed by 70 something scholars in the Septuagint in 246 BC. Probably first partial attempt to translate Bible into Latin was started as early as St Paul arrived in Rome in his last destination of missionary around AD 60.First authorised Latin translation was made by Jerome in Vulgate in AD 405. Since then Jerome's Vulgate has been used almost exclusively as an official version of Catholic for a long time till now, so it's so natural you thought it Latin.
