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.
