Sadly, we may never know the answer to that question. For when Jesus gets called for jury duty, she (yup, you read that right) can't make it through voir dire (via Volokh):
Christ was sent to Judge Clyde Jones's courtroom for a criminal case. She was excused because she was disruptive, court officials said. Instead of answering questions, she was asking them, a court employee in Jones's office said.Aren't they always? One wonders how long the writer of that story waited to slip a line like that into a story. No details, by the way, on what questions Christ was asking.
Efforts to reach Christ today were unsuccessful.
Also, props to the first comment on the Volokh thread:
How would she have been sworn as a juror? 'So help me Dad?'FTW, as the kids say. Also, she could always have affirmed. I'm sure that would have thrown some people for a loop!
