Such as Romanes eunt domus.
The Qur’an, yes. The OP didn’t specify “canonical Christian sources,” did it? It’s still good ol’ Jesus. And it’s such a cool little episode.
According to the Gospels, at least, Jesus wasn’t just scrawl-his-name literate: Even as a child, he was impressing the priests with his scholarship of the Law, and at least once as an adult was called upon in Temple to read the Torah.
People called Romanes, they go the 'ouse?
I think the idea is “Romans go home!”.
That would be Romani ite domum.
Now write it out 100 times.
The OP specified “the Good Book”, which is generally not taken to include the Quran and most apocryphal writings. Even Bibles that include a set of books labelled as “Apocrypha” generally don’t include the one with the story about the clay bird.
Doesn’t matter. It’s still a Jesus story. The choices of which books were to be canonical were arbitrary anyway, voted on by committees of ordinary humans with their mundane political motivations in play. I don’t see how that counts for much after all.
Well, you have to have some standard for which sources we’re accepting, or someone is going to come in with a cite from The Davinci Code or some such nonsense. And the list of sources already chosen by that long-dead committee of old men is as good a list as any.
It matters if that was part of the OP’s request, I would think.
How many Romans??
I laugh my ass off at that sketch every time I see it. Cleese is like a high school foreign language professor on steroids.
By sunrise. Or I’ll cut your balls off.
Hail Caesar!
He wasn’t a fan of Judas Priest
OK, from the canonical gospels then. You know at the end of the Gospel according to John where it says Jesus said and did so many other things that if they were all written down the world wouldn’t be big enough to hold the books? Well, that bird was one of them.
Jesus is a Gary Stu.
And Mary’s middle name is “Sue”.
John 21:25 *And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.*That isn’t canonical testimony that supports your claim, any more than it is canonical testimony that supports the claim that Jesus made an elephant fly.
Jesus built my hotrod.

That’s why he took the wheel?
You guys are no fun at all.
