“This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.”
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. — the eyewitness claim (martyres, witnesses) is apostolic and historically grounded; the disciples saw the risen Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:1-8 establishes the resurrection appearances). The focus shifts from past event (David's prophecy) to present reality (Jesus' resurrection) to apostolic testimony (we are witnesses). Eyewitness testimony is the epistemic foundation of the faith.
