Acts 13:31 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 13:31

And he was seen many days
Forty days, at certain times,

of them which came up with him from Galilee;
which though true of several women who followed him from Galilee, and to whom he appeared after his resurrection, as Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and Salome the mother of Zebedee's children, and others; yet is chiefly to be understood of the apostles of Christ, who were Galilaeans, and came with Christ from that country to Jerusalem, when he came thither to suffer and die:

who are his witnesses unto the people;
not only of his resurrection, though of that chiefly, but of all that he did and suffered in Galilee and Judea.

Acts 13:31 In-Context

29 And when they had carried out all the things that were written about him, they took [him] down from the tree [and] placed [him] in a tomb.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
31 who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem--who are now his witnesses to the people.
32 And we proclaim the good news to you: that the promise that was made to the fathers,
33 this [promise] God has fulfilled to our children [by] raising Jesus, as it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son; today I have fathered you.'
