New Testament witnesses of Christ
The New Testament contains the accounts of many people who were personal witnesses of Jesus Christ. Among these are:
Simeon, who was promised that he would not die “before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” When Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus to the temple, Simeon held Him and knew the promise had been fulfilled (Luke 2:25–35).
Mary and Martha, who witnessed the miracle of Christ raising their brother Lazarus from the dead (John 11:1–44).
A woman from Samaria, who talked with Christ when they met at a well. He told her that He was the Messiah called Christ that she had been anticipating (John 4:6–26).
Mary Magdalene, who was near the cross during Christ’s Crucifixion and was the first to see Him after His Resurrection (John 20:13–18).
Christ’s Apostles, who saw Him, talked with Him, and even ate with Him after His Resurrection (Luke 24:36–48).
