The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We have seen it and are witnesses to it.

This is the disciple who is a witness about these things. He also wrote them down. We know that what he says is true.

“ We are witnesses of everything he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by nailing him to a cross.But on the third day God raised him from the dead. God allowed Jesus to be seen.But he wasn’t seen by all the people. He was seen only by us. We are witnesses whom God had already chosen. We ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.He commanded us to preach to the people. He told us to tell people that he is the one appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

You have seen these things with your own eyes.

Reports of these things were handed down to us. There were people who saw these things for themselves from the beginning. They saw them and then passed the word on.With this in mind, I myself have carefully looked into everything from the beginning. So I also decided to write down an orderly report of exactly what happened. I am doing this for you, most excellent Theophilus.

There’s nothing else we can do. We have to speak about the things we’ve seen and heard.”

So we need to choose someone to take his place. It will have to be a man who was with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us.That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in telling people that Jesus rose from the dead.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. Then you will tell people about me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria. And you will even tell other people about me from one end of the earth to the other.”

The next night the Lord stood near Paul. He said,“ Be brave! You have told people about me in Jerusalem. You must do the same in Rome.”

I’m speaking to the elders among you. I was a witness of Christ’s sufferings. And I will also share in the glory that is going to come. I’m making my appeal to you as one who is an elder together with you.

Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia. Then Paul spent all his time preaching. He was a witness to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

With great power the apostles continued their teaching. They were telling people that the Lord Jesus had risen from the dead. And God’s grace was working powerfully in all of them.

The man who saw it has been a witness about it. And what he has said is true. He knows that he tells the truth. He is a witness so that you also may believe.

You killed the one who gives life. But God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

I consider Silas to be a faithful brother. With his help I have written you this short letter. I have written it to encourage you. And I have written to speak the truth about the true grace of God. Remain strong in it.

John is a witness to everything he saw. What he saw is God’s word and what Jesus Christ has said.

We told you about the time our Lord Jesus Christ came with power. But we didn’t make up clever stories when we told you about it. With our own eyes we saw him in all his majesty.God the Father gave him honor and glory. The voice of the Majestic Glory came to him. It said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him.”( Matthew 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35)We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven. We were with him on the sacred mountain.

For many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. Now they are telling our people about Jesus.

I, John, am a believer like you. I am a friend who suffers like you. As members of Jesus’ royal family, we can put up with anything that happens to us. I was on the island of Patmos because I taught God’s word and what Jesus said.

This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
