Was Jesus trilingual?

So it's Christmas and Jesus is on the minds of many. At my folks' house we were talking about languages and somehow Latin came up. So I posed the question:

"Did Jesus know Latin?" After all, when Pilate spoke to Jesus it would most likely have been in Latin.

My daughter responded: "Of course he did, he's Jesus."

Though the scholar in me cringed, I couldn't help but smile.
