What do you base that on? Simply because Jesus didn’t write doesn’t necessarily mean that he couldn’t write.
While the overall literacy rate in Roman Judea/Palestine was probably around 3%, that of adult males Jews in cities and towns has been estimated to be as high as 20-25%.

I base it upon what is recorded in the Gospels, namely, Mark, Chapter 1.
How is it that Paul's letters survived?
