Bible Commentary

John 15:27

The apostles also testify because they accompanied Jesus from the beginning. Their eyewitness role is distinctive; children may speak truthfully about what they learn without claiming apostolic authority.

Memory phrase: Apostles bear witness

Talk about it: What made the first disciples special witnesses?

Prayer: Jesus, help us speak truthfully about you.
