Jona, is there a special meaning for the word "agrammatoi" used in Acts 4:13 that makes a difference about the education level of Peter (and John)? I can't make Greek letters on this computer, but the word is translated "unlettered" or "ignorant" or "uneducated" in various English Bibles. (All those words can mean pretty much the same thing, in certain contexts.)
I think all Jewish men were somewhat educated in the basics of reading and writing and a certain amount of other "elementary education", as a matter or course. However, I don't have any real basis to disagree with what's said in that verse.
