Ac 9:29 And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus, and debated with the Jews who understood Greek; but they wanted to kill him.
What role does this play in the primacy debates? Does this show that Jews spoke Greek or is it being made a special point that these Jews spoke Greek (i.e. not all). If it is the latter, what of the verses where it says "Paul spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue (Aramaic probably) - do they then make a special point that he spoke in a language that normally he wouldn't?
