scribes were hired to read and write things....get real!

And Jesus wrote in the dust.

who knows??? Or, Jesus could have written a pictograph which explained what He had to say......the overwhelming majority of the people could neither read nor write.......in the crowd, however, were probably members of the government, members of the Jewish religious, tax collectors....all on whom could read.
