That verse could also be translated "unschooled and unlettered" referring to how the elitists in Jerusalem considered all outsiders, especially those "hillbillies" from the north country of Galilee, but should not be taken to indicate that any of the disciples were unintelligent and ignorant imbeciles.
Except for a few select individuals, even the God of the universe, walking on earth in the Man Christ Jesus, had difficulty impressing these arrogant elitists in Jerusalem.
