Actually bro Drake we don't hear from most of the apostles. Acts says John and Peter were illiterate, so maybe most of the apostles, not coming from the upper elite, couldn't write. We don't know. The scriptures we do have don't say.

Bible never said they were illiterate. Go study the Greek words.

Strong's Acts 4:13 :
ἀγράμματος
agrammatos
ag-ram-mat-os
From G1 (as negative particle) and G1121; unlettered, that is, illiterate: - unlearned.

From where I come from "unlettered" and "illiterate" are two different things. Unlettered refers to someone who did not attend higher education whereas illiterate refers to someone who can't read (i.e. elementary education).
