How do we know that the boldness of Peter and John was authentic?

Answered in 1 source

The authenticity of Peter and John's boldness is evident in their uneducated status and their powerful witness of Jesus’ resurrection.

Peter and John's boldness was remarkable not only because they spoke with conviction but also because they were recognized as unlearned and ignorant men by the world's standards. However, their ability to speak with such power stemmed from their personal relationship with Jesus. They had witnessed His ministry, death, and resurrection, which gave them the confidence to proclaim the truth boldly. The Sanhedrin, despite their attempts to intimidate them, could not deny the miraculous healing performed by them, further validating their boldness. Acts 4:20 highlights their commitment to speak about what they had seen and heard—this authentic witness is rooted in the undeniable truth of Christ's work in their lives.
