Acts 22:15 is often misinterpreted as a universal call for every Christian to be an apostle-like witness based on personal visions, ignoring its specific application to Paul's unique apostolic authority as an eyewitness chosen by Christ; another error treats 'witness' merely as casual sharing of faith without the costly obedience and transformative power Paul exemplified, or restricts its scope to immediate contemporaries rather than recognizing the ongoing global mission it inspires.
Acts 22:15
King James Version (1769)
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
In Acts 22:15, Ananias affirms Saul's (Paul's) divine commission from God to serve as a witness to all people concerning the profound realities he has directly seen and heard in his encounter with the risen Christ, emphasizing the foundational role of personal testimony in spreading the gospel universally and the authority derived from firsthand experience.
