I'm sure I was taught that Aramaic was the language that the ordinary people were speaking at the time, Greek was what the top people used.

Like only the top people speaking French in Norman Britain, the ordinary people continued with English.

Or is that not current thinking? There's been 50 years of gathering new evidence since then.
