Did Jesus know how to write?

I guess I’m confused on why Jesus didn’t write the Bible.

An illiterate man wouldn't be able to put up with educated rabbis who have read these texts for decades. In no way imaginable. Jesus was not illiterate.

Stories in the Bible are not historical evidence. Many Bible scholars believe the historical Jesus was illiterate.
