We have, in the last 10 to 15 years, seen Archaeology and tourism and knowledge increase in Biblical literacy. In the 1980s, people did not often know about verb usage, Papyrus 46 of the late first century. Papyrus 46 is incredibly clear and includes the last eight chapters of Romans, Hebrews, 1–2 Corinthians, Ephesians,; Galatians, Philippians, Colossians, and two chapters of 1 Thessalonians. They believed the Scriptures were written in 400 A.D. due to illiteracy of the Disciples and the world.
Instead, Judaism embraces knowledge and teaching. It would be rare during the life of Jesus Christ to be uninformed of the Scriptures. Proverbs is a very revered Book of the Old Testament and says repeatedly, "Cry out for Wisdom." Jewish Children had a profound public education system and attended, no doubt, attended the synagogue school. The Jewish child was sent to school in the fifth or sixth year of his life. The pupils either "stood, teacher and pupils alike, or else sat on the ground in a semicircle, facing a teacher." Until the children were ten years of age, the Bible was the one text book.
Now, we understand about literacy and Biblical Knowledge during the first century AD.
The Herods, the children of Herod the Great, were shipped off to Italy to attend the finest private tutorship.

First Century A.D.
Roman citizen families, patricians, patres = family, the elite, sprang from 5 families 400 B.C. In 440 B.C. it was illegal for patricians to marry into the publican, plebeian, class. Making 16 Patrician offspring families in 160 B.C. And.... no formal education system. Not very good at all. This was down from 100 Patrician families in between 400 - 160 B.C. With no formal education system to help this situation.
First Century B.C., Freeborn Roman children, ingenuiae, born of Roman citizen began to have positions open up and freely intermarry with the Patricians. Julius Caesar's stepfather was the first to be, Gaius Marius, to be Consul of Rome. He called himself the First Man of Rome.
The educational degree of the Patricians varied wildly. Julius Caesar was profoundly educated by inclination, familial history, degree of pedigree by private tutors. His cousin, Marc Antony was an Antonius, Marcus Antonius Creticus, known to be athletic and handsome but utterly not intellectual. Leading to the Roman Republic to Roman elbows out, murder in, Roman Empire.
Among the plebeians, it was important to read. Two age groups of classes were available to children within the plebeians. Trade includes understanding the basics of business.

In 16 years after the death of a man named Jesus, Claudius was having extreme discomfort anyone would have such a famous name, after dying in an obscure suburb of Syria, called Judea. Not only the Josephus guess estimate of 2 million filling the 36 acres of Temple after the First Easter, recorded in Acts 1. They wanted to know how the Messiah would do any more miracles than Jesus Christ. And people had seen Him alive in Victory after His Crucifixion.
This wonder and awe, astonishment, filled the Trade Routes, from Judea around the Mediterranean to Rome. And back into Egypt to all surround the African countries. Filling Peter's home, turned Church, Peter's plaster walls with graffiti of praise and Historical Biblical eyewitnesses. Then asking so many questions, Mark, now traveling with Peter and loved so much, he is referred to by Peter as his spiritual son. Mark writes His Gospel. The Gospel of Mark. To answer the questions of first century Rome.
The Jews certainly knew the Light of the Messiah would come. And finding this out, the Romans certainly wanted to know about Jesus Christ.
Thank You. Jesus.
Our God is working. His Son,
Jesus is working.
Amen.
