Now his parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the feast of the Passover.

When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom; & when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Yehoshua stayed behind in The City. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the company they went a day's journey, and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances; and when they did not find him, they returned to Yerushalayim, seeking him.

After three days they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, lsitening to them and asking them questions; and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. This anecdote from the childhood of Yeshua has spe-cial significance. It is a story of a precocious scholar, one might almost say of a young talmudist.

Today a Jewish boy is regarded as an adult when he turns thirteen, but in those days a boy of twelve could be regarded as grown up. It has happened before and after that Jewish boys were lost in the crowds, and found in the early hours of the morning, keenly disputing scholarly problems in a synagogue with the rabbis.

The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus provides a similar anecdote about himself:
While still a mere boy, about forteen years old, I won universal applause for my love of letters; insomuch that also even the chief priests and the leading men of the city used constantly to come to me for precise information about some particular in our ordinances, which can also be compared with the legends by Josephus and Philo about the precocity of young Mosheh & "savants" in other cultures of different times and places elsewhere!

The account Lucky Luke tells of the boy does not contradict the rest of what we know about Yeshu's Jewish
education. It may be suggested with some justification that JC's disciples were 'uneducated, common men'
according to Acts 4:13

WAYEHI KA'ASHER RA'U ET-BITCHON LEV SHEL-PETROS WEYOCHANAN WEHEVINU
KI HEDYOTIM WELO VAALEI CHACHMAH HEMAH WAYITMEHU ALEIHEM WAYAKIRUM KI HITHALCHU IMYESHU
This led to the assertion - made, indeed, by the historically less reliable Yochanan 7:11 - that Yeshua
himself was uneducated, that he
had "never studied!"

WEHAYEHUDIM BIKSHUHU BECHAG WAYOMRU AYEH HU?
WATEHI TELUNAH RABAH AL-ODOTAW BETOCH HA'AM ELEH AMRU TOV HU WE'ELEH AMRU LO KI-MATEH HU ET-HA'AM; ACH EIN-ISH MEDABER ALAW BAGALUI MIPNEI YIRAT HAYEHUDIM; WAYEHI BACHATSI YEMEI HECHAG ALAH YESHUA EL-HAMIKDASH WAYELAMED: WAYITMEHU HAYEHUDIM WAYOMRU EICH YADA ZEH SEFER WEHU LO LAMAD?!
When
"Jesus' sayings"
are examined against the background of contemporaneous Jewish learning, however, it is easy to observe that
"JC"
was far from uneducated.

He was perfectly at home both in holy scripture and in oral tradition, and he knew how to apply this scholarly heritage.

Moreover, Jesus' Jewish education was incomparably superior
to that of Sha'ul/Paul!

Can we say that Yehoshua haNatsri aka haMoshiah was [indeed] one of the Jewish Sages of his days?

I think we can.
