3B In the New Testament the meaning of witness is primarily to bear a living testimony of Jesus Christ in His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension (1:22; 2:32; 5:32; 10:39-40; 17:3, 18; 23:11; 24:14-15).
9E In His ascension the Lord carries out His ministry in the heavens through witnesses, who testify of Him in His resurrection life and with His ascension power and authority (1:8; 2:32-36, 40; 4:33).
