How did Jesus get His vast scriptural knowledge?

Was He born with the knowledge of the word of God? Did it come to Him through observation? Did He have a photographic memory when He read scripture? Did He just study a lot in the synagogue when He had free time from His work?

    Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. ~ Luke 2:51-52

    Jesus emptied Himself and took the limitations of mankind. He obviously studied the Bible a lot and memorized it. I've heard of people memorizing entire books from the Bible, some even more. I'm pretty sure Jesus had the scriptures memorized. Let us do the same!

    Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

    Nor stands in the path of sinners,

    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

    But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

    And in His law he meditates day and night. ~ Psalm 1:1-2

    Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. ~ Psalm 119:11

    With Jesus being God the Son, He was around when the foundations of the world was formed, therefore He knew what God knew.

    Therefore the scripture was already known to Him before He became flesh to sacrifice Himself for our salvation.

    All things that are were known to God.

    God is 3 parts

    Father / God

    Son/ Jesus

    Holy Spirit

    All that is and is to come are known to God.

    peace

  • Just my opinion. I think Jesus had similar opportunity and education that other Jewish boys at the age of twelve (or thereabouts) had when Jesus was a boy. I think Jesus was inclined to spend more time and contemplation in religious teaching than most of his peers. Which is no different from young men and boys today who go into church service. They had the inclination early on. Of course, in Jesus' case he may have been particularly inspired.

    Hell is the mistranslation of the grave, Gehenna, and the pit (tartaros). in basic terms one time is the pit used interior the recent testomony and that's in 2 Peter 2:4. it relatively is the place the fallen angels are stored in chains. we hit upon the notice "hell" interior the recent testomony 23 situations. Ten of those situations it potential the grave. Twelve of those situations it potential Gehenna. Gehenna became a rubbish sell off close to Jeruselem the place all refuse, deseased animals, or maybe criminals who have been stoned to death, crucified, or positioned to death in some way for breaking Jewish regulation. It became stored burning with hearth in any respect situations. That place nevertheless exists as we communicate close to Jeruselem, yet as we communicate it relatively is luxurious and a green valley with trails to hike on, and various of flower gardens. It became as quickly as stated as the valley of the sons of Hinnom-Ge-Hinnom interior the previous testomony. it relatively is the place Gods own human beings observed the techniques of Baal and handed their babies in the process the hearth to the god of Molech. (sacrificed their babies). It has not something to do with the lake of hearth. The lake of hearth symbolises the purging of sin and evil from mankind and all will finally come out of that hearth on bended knee confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. God won't manage to be all in all till all are stored. death and hell (grave) stands out as the final enemies destroyed.

    I'd say He just studied a bit. As far as His "work" I don't think the Bible ever mentions that He had to. It does mention that some "wise men" brought him some gold. Maybe it was enough for Him to support Himself.

  • Excellent question, but simple one.

    the answer is:

    "God is all knowing."

    Transhumanists are going to challenge that, with the artificial singularity.
