How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and heard him, Heb. ii. 3.

And ye are witnesses of these things, Luke xxiv. 48. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning, John xv. 27. To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God, Acts i. 3. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth, 8. Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection, 21, 22. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard, iv. 20.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, Eph. iii. 7, 8.
