You've got to be kidding. Let's see, he was supposedly a direct descendant of David, the most exalted lineage in ancient Israel. He received the best education of the time, learning Scripture at a very young age, younger than most, and continuing throughout the rest of his life. Then, while there is a large gap when it is not clear what he was doing, there is no evidence that his situation at that point was anything comparable to working-class. I would say "bourgeois revolutionary" pretty much sums it up.
It would be like your small town car-mechanic, grease on his hands and
all, stepped out of his garage and started to do these things and
perform those miracles..
Hardly.
