In the New Testament, it is used to denote individuals who are perceived as lacking scholarly training or formal education in the Scriptures or other academic disciplines.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Greco-Roman world, education was often reserved for the elite, and literacy was not widespread among the general population. Jewish education focused on the study of the Torah, and those who were not formally trained in the Scriptures were often considered "agrammatos." Despite this, many individuals, including the apostles, were recognized for their wisdom and understanding, which were attributed to divine inspiration rather than formal education.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/1125.htm">graphó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>without learning, unlettered<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>uneducated (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 62: ἀγράμματος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγράμματος</span></span>, (<span class="greek2">γράμμα</span>), <span class="accented">illiterate, without learning</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-13.htm">Acts 4:13</a> (i. e. unversed in the learning of the Jewish schools;
