***everything needed to be learned anew. Otherwise he would have been fluent at birth***

Study John the Baptist, his life, his family;
Study Jesus as 12-year-old (became adult legally); think of Jesus later reading the Scripture in the Synagog;
Study the Essenes, especially at Qumran... Why were they preserving those ancient copies of Scripture?

The Essenes were founded by a Teacher of Righteousness; he wrote that after a time there would be a new Teacher of Righteousness.

John the Baptist?

and...

Those who do not LEARN from history...
