Some scholars believe that Jesus, being a Galilean peasant or worker, probably did not know how to read or write. However, the Gospel of Luke states that Jesus entered a synagogue and began to read the Law in front of those who were there, and the Gospel of John describes Jesus writing on the ground in front of a woman caught in adultery. Added to this is the myth that all males in first century Israel could read and write.
