Latin or Greek in Judea ca. 30 AD?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the language that the Jews in the movie seem to be speaking sounds like Hebrew. If it is then that certainly is anachronistic. To the best of my knowledge Hebrew was only used as a sacred and ritual language at that time and the language of the masses tended to be Aramaic.

Of course Gibson cannot be blamed for this. He would be hard put to find a number of actors that could converse in Aramaic!
