Shoshanna,
I would agree with Gary here, except for the idea that it was the lingua
franca of the day, for outside of the NT there is no evidence of such per
se. Actually, most honest Greek speakers would tell you that Koine is trash
talk, gutter language, i.e. not good Greek, and the reason why is that it is
as if a bunch of people who did not speak Greek took a dictionary, and tried
to translate from their language into Greek without knowing the language to
which were translating.
