How many people could read back then or even now for that matter? They were Jewish, the most literate people on earth, so literate that even the son of a poor carpenter could and did read scripture at the temple.

"They were Jewish, the most literate people on earth, so literate that even the son of a poor carpenter could and did read scripture at the temple." But Christ commanded the Gospel to be preached to the whole world:
Mk:16:15:
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (KJV)

1. Where did you get that the Jews during Jesus's time were the most literate people on earth?
2. He may have been the son of a carpenter, but carpenters were craftsmen, so not necessarily poor -- definitely not rich, but not as per the standards of those times, poor.
