This power was not of human origin but was a divine enablement, as seen in <a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>, where Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would empower His followers. The Greek word for "power" here is "dynamis," which is also used in <a href="/acts/2-22.htm">Acts 2:22</a> to describe the miracles of Jesus, indicating a continuation of His ministry through the apostles.the apostles continued to give their testimony The apostles were eyewitnesses to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and their testimony was foundational to the early church's growth. This testimony was not a one-time event but an ongoing proclamation, as seen in <a href="/acts/2-32.htm">Acts 2:32 and 3</a>:15. The Greek word for "testimony" is "martyria," which later came to mean "martyrdom," reflecting the cost of their witness.about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus The resurrection was central to the apostles' message, as it validated Jesus' claims and demonstrated His victory over sin and death. This event fulfilled Old Testament prophecies such as <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm">Psalm 16:10</a> and <a href="/isaiah/53-10.htm">Isaiah 53:10-12</a>.
