ACTS 13:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.”
For a number of days he was seen by those of us who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people — the appearance tradition grounds resurrection claims in eyewitness testimony. Paul's phrase those of us who had come up with him creates a sense of corporate testimony; the witnesses are not isolated individuals but a group validated by their proximity to Jesus during ministry.
Church Fathers on Acts 13:31
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of Him, they took Him down from the tree, and laid Him in a sepulchre. But God raised Him from the dead. And He was seen many days of them which came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses unto the people — Acts 13:29-31 that He rose again.
