“And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.”
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all. — the apostles' testimony (martyria, witness, testimony, bearing witness) to the resurrection (anastasis, resurrection) is empowered (dynamis, power, might, strength). God's grace (charis, grace, divine favor, kindness) energizes the community; grace and power (not human effort or organization) sustain the movement. The apostolic witness is the foundation and motor of the community.
