You need to remember that Jesus chose 12 unlearned and ignorant men to preach the gospel to the world.

Well, to help my memory, could you give me your estimate of how unlearned these apostles were? Let's say, by comparison with yourself or myself? My curiosity forces me to ask. And you might be willing to tell me where your estimate came from?

Thanks --

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

Perceived means to see, they knew that the apostles were not highly educated men such as you would expect to be giving speeches to a crowd of hundreds or maybe thousands.

It pretty much speaks for itself since the apostles were saw as unlearned and ignorant men, many people marveled at their words, how could men such as these speak in such a manner?

But they took into account that these apostles had been with Jesus.

We know that the apostles were filled with the holy spirit, but these people did not know that and it was cause for them to wonder and to give thought to.

And you might be willing to tell me where your estimate came from?>>>>

Yes I can tell you exactly where it came from,
I am about as unlearned and ignorant as you can get, seventh grade drop out and was very lucky at that.
