Hi Ben,

Surprisingly, No. I always assumed that Jesus would have spoken to Paul in
the most common language of that day, Greek first. I guessing that Paul
wrote
normally in Greek with the exception being when he wrote directly to the
Hebrew, and then he would have written in Hebrew. May be it would be like
today,
English outside the home and native tongue in the home.
