What language was the Bible in before latin?

The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

* Hebrew was the language of the Old Testament.

* Aramaic was the language of the Jewish people in the time of Jesus and was used in some parts of the Old Testament and New Testament.

* Greek was the language of the New Testament, as it was the common language of the Roman Empire during that time.

The Bible was later translated into Latin, which became the official language of the Catholic Church. This Latin translation, known as the Vulgate, was commissioned by Pope Damasus I in the 4th century and was used by the Church for centuries.
