The only way to know whether or not Jesus actually knew everything would be to ask him, so we are going to bring Jesus back to earth for just a few minutes and have Katie Couric interview him on a special edition of "60 Minutes" we will call - "The Man Jesus - Did He Know Everything?"

As the show opens, Katie Couric and Jesus are sitting in chairs facing each other, in front of a large picture of the earth and the interview begins.

Katie Couric:

Jesus, when you walked among the people of this earth in human form, were you ever lonely?

Jesus:

My child, just as you have set yourself apart from the rest of the world and have made yourself different, during the time when I walked this earth, I also was different. Many of my disciples left me and I spent a lot of time alone in the desert or in the Mount of Olives where I often prayed to my father. There were many who could not understand my teachings and that often troubled me. So, yes, just like you I spent much time in loneliness.

Katie Couric:

Katie Couric:

Jesus, the Bible teaches us that you actually cooked for your disciples, is this true?

Jesus:

There was a time when my children had no meat and couldn't catch any fish and I spoke to them about the place to cast their nets. I had built a fire by the sea and when the nets were full, I asked them to bring their catch to me and I saith to them, come and dine.

Katie Couric:

What was it like to fast for forty days and forty nights?

Jesus:

The devil laid many temptations before my feet and the hunger and thirst were great, but my faith and my father were greater.

Katie Couric:

Even though it was your father's plan for you to die for all of us, did you every worry or become afraid?

Jesus:

My child, in human form, I was no different than you. There were times when I asked my father to save me from this hour and at
