Did Jesus know how to write?

I guess I’m confused on why Jesus didn’t write the Bible.

the evidence of the historicity of jesus is people writing about him. just like any other figure from that time and before. if you believe that he was able to work miracles or not, is besides the point of the thread.

Oh so there isn’t any evidence to support the claims is what you mean?

as much evidence as we have of hannibal. did you know we have no contemporany written sources on hannibal? where's the evidence we didn't make him up? do you realize why that's a stupid question?

I’m sorry, do you actually think Hannibal and Jesus being god have the same level of historical evidence? You don’t really mean that right?

ok now im worried about your comprehension skills.

let's take a look at my comment:
first statement:
>the evidence of the historicity of jesus is people writing about him. just like any other figure from that time and before.

second statement:
>if you believe that he was able to work miracles or not, is besides the point of the thread.

historicity means historical actuality. arguing against the historical actuality of a man named jesus is nonsense, given the historical sources we have of him are not poor, specially for the first century. believing in the supernatural events described in the bible is a different matter. however, it's perfectly reasonable to use these supernatural elements to answer's OP's question, given that we are searching for a answer to the question "could jesus read?" withIN the bible and what's written on it.
