Read some biographies about Mark Twain. They may say where they came from in his mind. Most likely they were created from parts of his own personality, or from personalities of his friends when he was young.

It depends. I spoke to our Parish priest about that, (^_^) and he said that it was INSPIRED in the prophets who wrote it, so in reality it was not really what Jesus exactly says (or said).\n \n(^_^)

I am reminded of Mark Twain's statements: "Its not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that bother me, its the parts I do."\n\nOften the Bible is so simple that we need help to misunderstand it.

While he may have been a real man what is written about him isn't.  That is a book of fables that have ripped things off from many places.

What is to be proved? It's not clear.

It HAS been altered.  Books have been taken out, things have been chopped, text re-written, all of it.  Every person who has had it re-written has changed stuff.  The Song of Solomon was all but gutted because it was judged to be 'too sexual', Jesus' text was re-written to make him sound less sarcastic.  Ever king or ruler that commissioned a re-write of it changed it slightly to what he felt it should be.

It is an anonymous quote... feel free to use it, and simply credit the author as "unknown."
