There are a large ammount of factual errors in the gospels , but this isn't one of them.

Quote:
Deuteronomy 18:18
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
If you think this means he was illiterate, you are way off.

"I will put words in his mouth" has nothing to do with literacy. What it means is, essentially nothing more and nothing less than "God told him what to say." If you'll read the gospels, jesus says often that it is not himself who is speaking, but god who is speaking for him through the holy spirit.
