Acts 22:2

[Winterleaf]

KJV:

(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

NKJV:

And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they kept all the more silent.

NIV:

When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic, they became very quiet.

Just stumbled upon this.
I did not know they didn't speak Hebrew 2000 years ago.
