Most of them could - several had professions in which they certainly would have needed literacy skills : Matthew was a tax collector, for example. It is also erroneous to imagine that even fishermen were not literate - all Jewish boys of the day received an education from the religious leaders. Peter may have used a scribe, however, his preaching abilities are not those of an uneducated man. Jewish society at the time was not primitive, as some have imagined.
