By saying they were unlearned and ignorant, it means they didn 't have the rabbinic training a man of God was expected to have. The Pharisees and Sadducees were educated at the temple, considering that to be what qualified them to be men of God. However, Peter and John learned directly from Jesus, and even these so called educated men at the temple marveled at their boldness and knowledge. So no theocratic college can you give you the credentials to be a preacher, only a bile education and Jehovah 's Holy Spirit can appoint someone.

How could Peter and John have written the books attributed to them if they were "unlearned and ignorant men"?
