Like, he didn't have it already memorized ?
He should have penned his version right there on the spot, and made copies and passed them out. Wouldn't hurt to have him do some translations too . . .
Because Jesus "was" a guy that preached end of times that was to happen very soon, so he and others were not concerned by writing it. Only later on when they saw this wasn't happening like he said and it was selling people wrote it down.
But when you're asking questions why didn't Jesus (if he was real messenger) continue living, maybe even got married and make an example as a "good husband" and tell people his dad forgave people for eating from a wrong tree.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
