John 15:26,27 question

Hi JakeHe is referring to the remaining 11 disciples. The scene for this is the Upper Room where He had broken bread and washed their feet. He could only have been addressing those who were physically with Him at that time, and we know from John 13 and 14 that He had not left the Upper Room when He spoke these words.It is part of the record showing how the Apostles were specially chosen and specially equipped to be the unique link between Christ and the coming generations, which is also part of the reason why their written testimony is so indispensable.There is a derived sense in which those who receive the testimony of these witnesses. The word underlined in all these comments would be the same word martureo in the original Greek. The scriptures are the 'record' of the 'witnesses'.
