There is no written record in the Gospels nor in the New Testament of Jesus speaking in tongues, or speaking of the gift of tongues.
Paul tells us that the gift of speaking in tongues is when a Christian speaks in a language he does not know in order to edify someone who does speak that language (1 Corinthians 14:6).
Some Christians point to Mark 7:34 and Mark 8:12 and conclude that the sighs Jesus uttered must have been tongues. There are Greek words for sighing and Greek words for tongues. If this was Jesus speaking in tongues, Mark would have used the Greek word for that.
On earth, Jesus spoke Aramaic (Mark 5:41; Acts 26:14) and probably Greek and Hebrew as others in the area spoke those languages.
