Could #Jesus Read and Write?

https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzQ0MTYxNS9yc3M/episode/Nzk4MjkyMzAtMjA1Mi00OTZlLWIwNDEtMmViYzc1MDU4ZGMx?sa=X&ved=0CKcCEM-BB2oXChMIwJ-H0euxggMVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAE

Nearly everyone today assumes that Jesus could #readandwrite. But is that historically plausible? There is only one story in the #NewTestament where Jesus is shown to be able to read (#Luke4) and he is never said to be able to write (except in the story of the Woman Caught in #Adultery that was added by #scribes only later #John7-8).
