3 ways Jesus read the bible.

[Aractus]

Wow, this is awesome. Not your failed facts, but the fact that you provided a list of things you have not researched, which is what you blindly accused me of.

Today the Bible is widely available in a single volume, easy to use and often small enough to slip into a pocket. We do not realize what an advantage we have in comparison with people of the first century. The normal form of the book then was the scroll; a book with pages, the codex, was used at that time mainly for note taking. It developed to become the normal book form over the next two or three centuries. This means that a Jew who owned a Bible in Jesus’s time would have had an armful of scrolls. Since every copy was made by hand, books were not cheap, although we should not exaggerate their cost; a copy of a lengthy book like Isaiah might take a professional scribe three days or so to make, so the price would be his wages and the cost of the materials. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that many individual Jews would own a complete set of the Scriptures, but according to Luke 4, a small town like Nazareth had a copy of Isaiah in its synagogue, so undoubtedly it held rolls of the Torah and, it is likely, the rest of the Hebrew Bible.

Yeah, if you paid a scribe to write it for you. If you did it yourself it wouldn't be very expensive. Papyrus costs about $1/sheet (from Egypt) which is about 100x the cost of modern wood-pulp paper is less than 1c/sheet. The production would have been a little less than optimal with the lower technology in ancient times, so the price then may have been more (even $2/sheet etc). So it is much more expensive (about 100x more expensive), however it is still readily available to anyone at that price just not in the quantities you can get wood-pulp for.

It's not generally worth paying a scribe just to do a $1 sheet of papyrus for you (although Paul did for his letters), but you'd use one if you were using parchment. In any case, the cost was not prohibitive and anyone who was literate could make copies (in part or whole) if they wanted to.

Actually according to Luke 2 @ age 12 he already had a profound understanding of God's word. considering His father's profession at the time He would not have been able to read or write by conventional means.

His father was a builder and builders were very well paid.
