Jesus Commanded Them to Be His Witnesses Just before He ascended: “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (KJV) This confirms that His final command is global: • Start where you are. • Go outward. • Reach every nation with the message of salvation.
