Well seeing as Christ was the God-man with dual natures, yes he could have used his divine nature to speak whatever language he needed to as evidenced by the gift of tongues shown in Acts.
I was giving a more historical look at an average jewish citizen at the time and which languages they would have been able to speak. I used Jesus as the exemplar because he would have truly come from an “Everyman” background. Also it was a soft rebuttal of you saying the jews of his time would not have been able to read/speak Hebrew. They would have, or at least the slightly more learned class would have been able to.
