I suspect it'd be a bit of a bubble burster.
Most great leaders and historical figures became famous because of their own cunning, achievements, or intelligence. Arguably, the only reason Jesus is even known today is because some of his followers managed to convert the Roman Emporer Constantine 2 1/2 centuries after his death. That laid the foundation for the Holy Roman Empire and the 1200+ years of Christian domination of the West which followed. The concept of Jesus floating around today is more representative of what his followers managed to achieve than the man himself.
Among other things, Jesus believed that neurological disorders, sicknesses, and psychological problems were caused by evil invisible spirits. He had no concept of modern medicine, sanitation, the theory of relativity, music, electricity, flight, philosophy, and he probably couldn't write either.
You'd likely spend most of your hour teaching him.
