Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Whereof we all are witnesses - That is, the whole 120 saw him after he rose from the dead, and were all ready, in the face of persecution and death, to attest this great truth.
John Gill Bible Commentary
This Jesus hath God raised up,.... That is, from the dead, whereof we are all witnesses; namely, of his resurrection, they having seen him, and heard him, and ate, and drank, and conversed with him since his resurrection; and which was true, not of the twelve apostles only, but of the whole company: or "we are all his witnesses"; either of God, who raised Christ from the dead; or of Christ who was raised by him; and indeed, they bore testimony to the whole of this, to Christ, and to his resurrection, and to its being done by God the Father.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
2:32-36 God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this: The witness theme is often repeated in Acts (e.g., 3:15; 4:33; 5:32; 10:39-43). The capstone of this message is that God the Father, as he had promised, was now pouring out his Holy Spirit on the church through the risen Jesus. All Israel was called upon to recognize that God had acted decisively to make the crucified Jesus both Lord and Messiah!
Acts 2:32

Martyrs Are Witnesses
By G. Campbell Morgan0MartyrdomWitnessing for ChristACT 2:32G. Campbell Morgan emphasizes that martyrs are not defined by their suffering but by their unwavering commitment to the truth of Christ, which is revealed through their lives and sacrifices. He explains that true martyrs are those who are convinced of their faith and demonstrate it through their transformed lives, serving as living witnesses to the resurrection and exaltation of Jesus. The church must present these changed lives as evidence of the truth it proclaims; without such witnesses, its message becomes ineffective. Morgan challenges believers to reflect on their own transformations as proof of their faith, asserting that their lives should testify to the reality of Christ's work in the world.
