This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
31. ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, from Galilee. The Apostles, and the main body of Christ’s followers, were drawn from Galilee, in so much that, before the Crucifixion, Galilæans was a name by which they were known (Mar 14:70).
οἵτινες νῦν εἰσὶν μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ, who now are His witnesses. St Paul has not mentioned the Ascension of Jesus, but when he says that now men are His witnesses, it is implied that Christ was no longer on earth for men to see Him. The Apostle also thus marks out what was the especial work of those who had companied with Jesus during His life.
