         Glosses: ['uneducated', 'unlearned']

         Comments: Some persons have assumed that ἀγράμματος in {S:04400401300026} means ‘illiterate’ in the sense of not being able to read or write, but this is highly unlikely in view of the almost universal literacy in NT times, and especially as the result of extensive synagogue schools. Evidently, ἀγράμματος in {S:04400401300026} refers to a lack of formal rabbinic training.
