“Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.”
beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection — the witness requirement demands attestation of both Jesus' entire ministry (from John's baptism) and specifically the resurrection. The resurrection is the hinge-point of apostolic witness; without resurrection testimony, the other witness claims would be merely biographical. The new apostle must complete the twelve-tribe representation.
