Unlearned
Were Peter and John unlearned and ignorant or is Acts 4:13[1] talking about something else?

Christians provided for one another in charity and did not participate in the free bread welfare of Rome nor as we see the Pharisees doing with their Corban which Jesus condemned. The Pharisees had chosen Caesar's ways to care for the needy of society and depended upon government as their Benefactors. The Christians were not involved in the public affairs of the Pharisees nor of the public religion of Rome. Christians were involved in public affairs of Christ working daily in the temple which we explain below.
The temple in Jerusalem, the same as those temples of Rome, were the center of their social welfare. Those who got the Baptism of John and the Baptism of Christ's apostles, who were eventually called Christians, had opted out of a social welfare system that had snared the people under the authority of Herod's welfare state.
Christians had another king, one Jesus, and were standing fast in the perfect law of liberty instituted by Christ through His apostles whom had appointed a kingdom to. But that kingdom was not like the kingdoms of the gentiles who exercised authority one over the other. The persecution of Christians by public magistrates was often based on their refusal to participate in the temple welfare systems of Rome.
