What Were the Apostles Commissioned to Do in Evangelism?

Scripture More Accurately

Two separate sets of people.

Jesus knew how to commission His churches.

The Apostles were all First-hand personal witnesses of the Lord' appearances after His resurrection. We are not.

The Apostles were told include an account of their being First-hand personal witnesses of the Lord' appearances after His resurrection. We are not.

When Paul evangelized the Corinthians by preaching the gospel to them (1 Cor. 15), not only did he proclaim that Christ was buried and that he himself was a personal eyewitness of the Lord's appearances after His resurrection but also, he proclaimed to the Corinthians about many others who were also eyewitnesses of the Resurrection appearances.

Paul has commanded us to be followers of him, as he was of the Lord (1 Cor. 11:1). In a similar manner to Paul's evangelism, therefore, we are to make known in our evangelism biblically that Christ was buried and that many credible eyewitnesses saw (and heard, touched, and ate and drank with) Him after His resurrection.
