Palms.

Answer 2

Yes. In fact the Gospel of Luke records Jesus reading a passage from the Book of Isaiah.

Luke 4:16 So 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 to read.
17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. 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 has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

Answer 3

Did Jesus ever read anything?
We don't know, If you mean like the word of God, I think not, The bible tells us, God gave him the spirit of God's holy spirit, infact, thats why Jesus said seek and knock, we pray to him, as he is the only one that saved what was lost. infact, he shares what God gave him to us, or the bible says the few who understand truth, most are in a system called babylon,which doesent end until Jesus returns. we see this with the wheat and tares mixed in the churches, even today to the very end day. few are saved, the rest go in another way to be refined as gold, they are the grape harvest which many skip this part, as they error in the pure word. God has a plan and everyone that God made will live, and be saved, 1 Cor 15:54-56 O death where is thy sting, O grave where is thy Victory.. many skip this verse and many others as well. like the sheep, Jesus finds the one last lost sheep..he left the rest and go's after every last human/soul/ who ever lived. God is not the God of the dead.. amen

Answer 4

Luke 4:14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

4:15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

4:16 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.

4:17 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,

4:18 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,

4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Answer 5

Jesus both knew and read the whole of the Old Testament.

He confirmed the flood of Noah's day.

(Matthew 24:37-39) For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; 39 and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be.

Jesus often stated, before he said something...just as it is written...

(Matthew 26:24) True, the Son of man is going away, just as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been finer for him if that man had not been born.”

Answer 6

Jesus should have sat down and written a concise book. Instead he hung around with a bunch of dudes who tried to write down his verbal teachings, which is why we are all so confused today.

Mohammed couldn't read nor write, so the Koran of today is most likely nothing like his teachings since when you pass down things verbally stuff gets changed on the way.

Answer 7

Yes. He was Jewish - You have to read parts of the bible in order to come of age. He at least read that. I would think that he read other things, but he was kind of zen in thought...he seemed to be pretty channelled into the natural order of things.

Oh yeah, I think he even quoted some scripture when he wrote in the ground to the elders who were going to stone the prostitute - something akin to "he who has sinned not shall throw the first stone" so I would assume he would be able to read what he wrote. Alos, he spoke in Aramaic so that literally would be translated from something a lot more simple and choppy. Again: very zen.

Answer 8

During biblical times, only the wealthy were able to attend school to learn reading and writing skills.and there is such little knowledge regarding Jesus childhood years. 99% of biblical people were illiterate.

Answer 9

On one occasion when Jesus preached in a synagogue in Nazareth, he showed yet another activity of the spirit. The record tells us: “He opened the scroll and found the place where it was written: ‘Jehovah’s spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, he sent me forth to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away with a release.’ Then he started to say to them: ‘Today this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled.’” (Luke 4:17, 18, 21)

Answer 10

Whoever says Jesus was highly educated must really think again. There is no evidence that he received any education at all. Nobody knows what he did between 12 and 30!!!!!

Answer 11

Although there is only one reference to his reading in the gospels (where, he takes the scroll of Isaiah and reads a section and then is said to have said 'today in your hearing ... this is fulfilled'), there are numerous references that show that he had read (lots of sections in the gospels where he is said to have said things like - Moses wrote this, but I say to you this etc...).

Also being raised in a traditional (hmmm) jewish home we would probably assume he went to his synagogue for schooling.
