a further, the apostle luke tells how much the townspeople were surprised by this fact. let's move on, i wonder, did jesus know how to write? there is only one instance in the bible where he writes. of course, if he knew how to read, he knew how to write, but the gospel did not preserve for us information about any written text he left, except that when a woman was brought to him, taken as an adulterer. he was drawing in the sand. as it is said in the gospel of john, in order to stop an angry crowd ready to throw stones at a woman, he inscribed a list of them on the ground own sins. and the fact that jesus’ writing was read and understood suggests that he had clear, understandable handwriting. this means that he knew how to write and wrote often. the next question is: in what language did he write these words? what language did christ even speak? jesus' most famous speech is the sermon on the mount. its entire first part began with the words “blessed.” in what language were the words that turned the world upside down? at that time, three languages ​​were used in palestin
