Jesus spoke Aramaic and Hebrew when He, God, the Son, assumed the form of a human! I don't recall him speaking Arabic, although I suppose it's *possible*, that He did. He might also have spoken koine Greek. Wer wissen?
Later: Your question not only displays your ignorance about the content of the Word of God, the Bible, but your prejudice against anyone who *does* read and believe it, and believes that Jesus Christ was God, the Son, and was the *only* one who could possibly be Lord and Savior! Why don't *you* "thump the Bible" yourself, at least long enough to read John 3:16?

Probably not because it is Arabic. Most scholars believe that Jesus primarily spoke Aramaic, with some Hebrew and Greek, although there is some debate in academia as to what degree. Generally, scholars believe that the towns of Nazareth and Capernaum where Jesus lived were Aramaic-speaking communities, that he was knowledgeable enough in Hebrew to discuss the Hebrew Bible, and that he most likely knew Greek through commerce as a carpenter in nearby Sepphoris and because Greek was the common language of the eastern part of the Roman empire. Accordingly, Jesus is believed to have addressed primarily Aramaic-speaking audiences.
As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم) is an Arabic language greeting used in both Muslim and Christian cultures. It means "Peace be upon you." It is also transliterated as Assalamu 'Alaikum or As-salaamu Alaikum. The traditional response is "wa `Alaykum As-Salām", meaning "and on you be peace."

Arabic was not the language of Jesus he spoke Aramaic.
So I think that would exclude him from having ever said those words.

The apostles did, Acts 2:11; Arabian.

Sallam aleikum is Arabic; Jesus spoke Hebrew and Aramaic.

No. It is alleged based on the languages in his area at the time he spoke Hebrew and Aramaic, not Arabic.

You're thinking of James Joyce, who reportedly used every word of the dictionary in Ulysses.

John 14:27-"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
As a rabbi, Jesus spoke Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

Probably not. That's Arabic, and the language of Palestine was Aramaic.
