The Power of Eyewitnesses
Peter's sermon doesn't rely on abstract ideas but on concrete evidence. Commentators highlight that when Peter says "we all are witnesses," he is likely referring to the 120 disciples present. Scholars like Albert Barnes note the strength of this testimony: a large group of credible people, with no motive to lie, attesting to a fact they perceived with their own senses, and they were willing to die for this truth.
