    • 24:48

      You are to be witnesses: This is one of the first times that Jesus tells his disciples “to be witnesses” about his life and ministry, including his death and resurrection. (Compare Joh 15:27.) As faithful Jews, Jesus’ disciples were already witnesses of Jehovah and testified that He is the only true God. (Isa 43:10-12; 44:8) Some 40 days after the events recorded here, Jesus repeats and further emphasizes their new assignment to be his witnesses.​—See study note on Ac 1:8.
