Unlearned and Ignorant

Unlearned and ignorant, Mere nobodies, Just fishermen, Inferior mortals, Far below Proud priest and Pharisee and scribe. For such to preach or teach Within those holy temple walls Was tantamount to blasphemy – Just like that other man from Galilee. No problem that For two apostles bold, Fresh-fired by God To minister his mighty word And heal a cripple forty years from birth. Unscared by priestly threats, They blazed the scene With resurrection life. Unlearned and ignorant maybe, But far above proud priest And Pharisee and scribe Supreme they stood, And spoke those holy words, “There is no other name By which we must be saved.” And rulers, elders, scribes and haughty priests Compelled to marvel And to note “These men had been with Jesus.” Read about it in Acts chapter 4.
