re: Bible Prophesy Interpretation vs Literal Word

Those who actually knew Jesus would not have known Greek. Anything they said or wrote down would be in Hebrew/Aramiac. Scholars writing it down many years after Jesus's death wrote it down in Greek.

Greek was the common language, even moreso than Latin. Everyone knew a few words and phrases, and educated people, like Saul/Paul, would have been fluent.
