more recent scholarship
I don't have time to really engage this thread, but more recent scholarship indicates that in fact, people in Palestine were more literate in several languages than was once suppossed. Jesus is in this view was a little more cosmopolitan, as his some of his followers, and not quite the ignorant country bumpkins some scholars assumed.
​
Basically, the idea is small business people had to know several languages and cultures quite well to thrive.
