I have a question for the scholars among us. How common was literacy in first century Galilee? Who among Jesus' associates would have been expected to write. - The following site estimates 1.5%-3.0% literacy. Note the author is an Israeli expert. http://faculty.biu.ac.il/~barilm/illitera.html#[29] Not a surprising finding when one considers the literacy rate in 3rd World countries today.
