scafool,
Yes. He read from the scriptures, Isaiah 61, in Luke 4.
Luke 4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

There's two parts to your question.
For believers, he is far worse than illterate, he is the greatest mass murderer in history.
References: Genesis 6:11-17 and Genesis 7:11-24
Some examples:
GE 6:13 - And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
GE 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
For non-believers like myself, the Bible is just a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve etc, and of course some intriguing imaginary places like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and Limbo.
I certainly don’t believe in the Bible and I doubt any reasonably intelligent person would either. However, if you view the Bible as a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve, Noah, and so on, then you can certainly start to see a clever interwoven plot, that the audience is unaware of. It’s really just a drama thriller with clever twists.
You see, if you seriously think about it in an unbiased manner, then clearly the actor God in the Bible could really be the Devil, and the audience (religious believers) are being sucked into being the bad guys, who then use religion to get everyone fighting each other.
On the other hand, the more intelligent audience (Atheists) spot the plot and try their best to teach believers that this is just nonsense, stop getting sucked in. Some people have over time decided that the play is real. That's very sad.

What is the reason for literacy... why does one read and write? To learn about the self, world and God... Jesus has in all respects more literate than any body who ever lived on the planet earth... His wisdom transcends the whole wisdom of the world put together... If you just wanted to check out the wisdom of God and thus understand the level of His literacy, read Bible and especially the gospels... What wisdom....

Well, considering that as a child, he got left behind once after his family went to jerusalem for passover and was found talking about the law and the scriptures to the teachers in the temple, I'd say he was literate. Oh, and he quoted scripture quite a bit.

I am going to say he was literate. If I remember right he did do some quoting in the temple. I know that he had studied in Egypt and I don't think there are many Jewish people in Egypt. I think he did read.

Luke 2:52 "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man"
Jesus was a wise teacher and understood the law of Judaism>

I guess illiterate because he never left us with any writings and there was no record of his ever attending any formal school.

One could say he is literate because in one bible verse it says he was writing in the sand.
Could aslo interpretate he was playing a holy game of tic tac toe.

He was the human form of God! I'm sure He was WAY passed grammer and the basics. Plus, he read from the scripture time and time again.
