Did Jesus have a strong regional accent?

Jesús Sanchis-Calabuig, Valencia, Spain

• A woman who was present when Peter denied having known Jesus on the night of Jesus's arrest comments that Peter must at least have known him, since he had an obvious Galillee accent (the conversation took place in Jerusalem). We can infer that Jesus had a similar accent, but how strong we will never know.

• I was told at school that Jesus's Galilean accent heard by a resident of Jerusalem would have been analogous to a Geordie accent heard by a resident of London.
