Please read the passage. It is clear that this was simply a theoretical 
question, apparently designed to expose Jesus' lack of knowledge of the 
Talmud, therefore being a fake rabbi (this is one of the pieces of 
evidence that Jesus might have been a composite of several leaders, some 
more educated than others). Jesus' answer is quite brilliant, as it both 
dodges the question and conveys new knowledge.
