Akhi Paul,
Prophet Jonah the Hebrew prophet preached repentance to the people of Nineveh didn't he? Isn't Nineveh the capital city of the Assyrians? What was the language understood by the people of Nineveh? Prophet Jonah seems had no problem in switching from Hebrew to the language of the Ninevites.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here. (Matthew 12:41)
Ninevites repented at the preaching of Jonah. Jesus is greater than Jonah. Don't you think that the people of Nineveh would repent when the Apostles & the early disciples brought the Gospel to them?
