Did Jesus use the words Gehenna and Hades?

In all the studies I have done about Gehenna, Hades and Sheol, I am  still left with a question mark.
We know the Greek words Hades and Gehenna, but do we know if Jesus used these terms?

Was the Greek words Gehenna and Hades implemented in the Aramaic language Jesus spoke,
or did he use the old Hebrew words when he preached his Sermon on the Mount and told the parable of Lazarus and the rich man?

Gina:
I'm afraid all anyone can do is speculate the answer to that.  But I would venture to say, No, He most certainly did not use any Greek when speaking to the Jews.  ;D

But what if He did?  Does that change anything we know to be truth?  How could it?

Gina:
Though, it just occurred to me that there may have been among those that heard the Sermon on the Mount other people than Jews; there may have been Greeks and Italians.  Or maybe there wasn't, seeing Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel:

Matt 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Kenneth Clark:
wasnt gehenna a greek word and hades a jewish word...if so or the other way around Jesus would have spoken either or

Kenneth Clark - No Hades is a greek word. But in the Greek translation of OT Septuginta,  the Hebrew word Sheol is translated Hades

Gina I'm not sure if there were so many listeners when Jesus gave Sermon on the Mount. Mat 5:1  And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Mat 5:2  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Looks like he was only preachint to his disciples
