During a Jewish festival in Jerusalem, Jesus shook up the religious establishment of His day when He had the gall to go into THEIR temple and preach (John 7:14). With Jesus having NO formal training, they were aghast that He would do such a thing! Later, Peter and John stirred up the hornet’s nest AGAIN by doing exactly the same thing (Acts 4:13). How DARE they? Those guys are “uneducated and common men” they snarled until they finally hung their heads. Because THEN they suddenly realized, those guys KNEW Jesus.

You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts. You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.
