John 3
Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
2 this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God....
5 ...Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Luke 24
25 And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

So, "inspiring" others to write about you decades later...IS writing about it? ??? I'm REALLY confused by that as a proof that Jesus wrote something himself or was literate. I say this because there are no contemporary writings by or about Jesus. Where are these supposed scrolls that these people wrote? Why didn't anyone keep anything? There's no 10 commandment tablets, no Ark, no goblet...nothing but stories.
You posted 2 quotes...neither talk about Jesus writing anything OR even asking someone to write something. So, I don't understand the relevance.
Besides...you can't use your own book to prove something about your own book...think about that for a while. If I write a book, I can't cite my own book to prove what's in my book. You can't use the Bible to prove something said in the Bible. And unfortunately, writings by religious people is all there is. Believers writing for believers.
I hear the Vatican is full of historical documents and artifacts...why keep everything hidden away? Unless you have a reason for it to be hidden?
