Yes, Acts 4:13 did not mean that Peter and John had no education; nor did the scripture mean that they were illiterate or unschooled. Regarding the word a‧gram′ma‧tos applied to them, Hastings' Dictionary of The Bible (1905, Vol. III, p. 757) says that to a Jew "it meant one who had had no training in the Rabbinic study of Scripture." (Compare John 7:14, 15)
OpinionFrom early times, Mark was accepted as the author of the Gospel that bears his name. He was a disciple of Peter and it is thought that the two conversed about the events in Jesus' life. Further to this, Mark and his family were associated with Jesus and his disciple in Jerusalem and would have had direct information and tesimonies of his own to rely on.
God chose Paul to write the New Testament book of colossians.
he was to have a gift from God to have what to read in the bible He did. Jesus' arrest and trial are recorded in chapter 18; the crucifixion in chapter 19, which includes this passage: John 19:25-27 - Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. [NKJV] "The disciple whom He (Jesus) loved" was John's way of referring to himself in his gospel.
A:The author of 2 Peter goes out of his way to insist that he is Peter, as he not only names himself Simeon Peter (2 Peter 1:1), but stresses that he was personally present with Jesus on the mount at the transfiguration (2:16-19). The use of the Hebrew 'Simeon' is one of several giveaways that this epistle was not really written by the Apostle Peter, who would always have used the Aramaic form, from his native language - Simon Peter. The Greek-speaking author of 2 Peter was trying too hard to sound like the apostle Peter. (The KJV corrects this error, translating Simeon into English as Simon, but other Bibles keep the original). The author knew about 'all' Paul's epistles (2 Peter 3:15-16) and thought Paul's epistles were already scripture ('other scriptures' - 2 Peter 3:16), neither of which could have been during Paul's lifetime.The author uses this epistle and Paul's name to attack his own opponents, the 'false prophets', with numerous verbal similarities to what can be found in the New Testament book of Jude. The parallels are so numerous that scholars are virtually unified in thinking that the author has taken Jude's message and simply edited it a bit to incorporate it into his book.When Peter was actually still alive, there was still eager expectation that Jesus would return soon. With the passing of time that the Christian claim that all would take place "within this generation" (Mark 13:30) and before the disciples had "tasted death" (9:1) started to ring hollow. By the time 2 Peter was written, Christians were having to defend themselves in the face of opponents who mocked their view that the end was supposed to be imminent. So 'Peter' has to explain that even if the end is thousands of years off, it is still right around the corner by God's calendar.A:There are two letters attributed to Peter, but New Testament scholars say that neither of them was written by Peter.First Peter was written from Rome and euphemistically refers to Rome as Babylon (1 Peter 5:13), a clue that allows us to date this epistle to the 80s or 90s of the first century. The Christian and Jewish communities began to refer to Rome as 'Babylon' after Rome destroyed the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, just as Babylon had done centuies earlier.2 Peter was clearly written towards the middle of the second century, although the author goes out of his way to insist that he is Peter, as he not only names himself Simeon Peter (1:1), but stresses that he was personally present with Jesus on the mount at the transfiguration (2:16-19). This epistle was written to oppose Christians of a gnostic persuasion who, from the author's point of view, threatened several ideas the author found central to Christian faith: the prophetic interpretation of the Jewish scriptures, the gospel story of a real Jesus who was also the son of God, the Christian ethic of sexual continence and clean living (holiness), and the apocalyptic view of history.
Those who were eyewitnesses, or personally knew them, wanted to record the important events and details of the Christian message. They also wanted to assist those who were involved in spreading the Gospel message, that others might also believe, as well as to give an account of the details of Jesus' life and teaching to assist new converts to have a better understanding of the faith. The verses below explain this. 1Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 31But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Mark was never a disciple of jesus christ .He wrote the gospel of Mark. he did not write the book of act.
-----------------------As far as we know, the apostle Peter did not write any letters (1 Peter and 2 Peter are believed to have been written in the second century, using Peter's name). While those attributed to John are unlikely to have really been written by the disciple of that name, there is no good reason to believe that they were written by Peter.
He wrote what happened while he was a disciple of Jesus
Peter is symbolically associating Christ to a lamb who is born white, with no blemishes at all. It is free from all discolorations (Sin) and as pure and clean as the driven snow.
Χριστός
Yeshua
The disciple John as an older man and Jesus in heaven (he would have told John what to write).
The Bible comes in two sections the Old Testament And the New Testament, The Old testament is the book that governs the Jewish religion and Jesus was an authority on this and was referred to as Rabi by many that came to hear him and learn from him. The New testament Is the second part of the bible and this is the book that reefers to the works and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Jews who were the compositors of the first testament do not recognise the second testament as they do not recognise Christ. However Jesus Christ did not write any part of the New testament as a mater of fact most of it was written long after the death of Jesus. No, it was written by a number of people, Jesus' disciple's. God overall wrote the book because God told them what to write. But God did not HANDWRITE it. God is not Jesus, it is his son. Jesus did not wright the bible, it was his disciple's, kings, and translators that wrote the bible.
write or 'search and find'
'Peter' would be written in Hindi as पीटर.
Great question!Where are His disciples?They are nowhere to be found. Only the women closest to Jesus are found at the site of His crucifixion. Peter had denied Christ three times throughout the night and was destroyed emotionally by his failure to remain strong for Jesus. No account is given of the other disciples here. In another book it is written that John and .... were close by when Christ asked John to take over care of His mother.We learn here that the disciples, even those who would later write scripture, failed to remain with Christ throughout His being beaten, tortured and crucified. And this was not all that long after Peter's famous declaration "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Another quote of Peter when Jesus asked if His hard teachings would cause them to leave Him, Peter said in paraphrase "where else can we go, You have the words of eternal life?" On another occasion when Jesus exposed Judas as His betrayer Peter said that he would remain by Christ's side no matter what may come. Hours later Peter denied Jesus.Does this speak badly of such famous characters? No way. We learn here that they are human, just like us. They could fail just like us. Even with Christ in their presence. Yet each one of them returned to Christ's side after the resurrection, showing their commitment was genuine (except Judas). In our attempts to follow Christ we will fail at times, and we have these verses to go to and see that God will remain faithful to us even when we fail Him. God is awesome.
