The Message
You’re the Witnesses

45-49 He went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way.

You’re the first to hear and see it. You’re the witnesses. What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you’re equipped with power from on high.”
