How do we know the authority of the apostles' testimony?

Answered in 1 source

The authority of the apostles' testimony is established through their direct eyewitness experience of Christ's majesty and fulfillment of prophecy.

Peter claims in 2 Peter 1:16 that the apostles did not follow fables, but were eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ's power and glory. Their authoritative testimony is rooted in their actual encounter with the divine, experiencing His majesty firsthand. Furthermore, the apostles, by the Holy Spirit's leading, proclaim the certainty of Christ's power and royal authority, affirming that their message is rooted in divine truth rather than human invention. This principle of multiple witnesses, as grounded in scripture, reinforces their credibility.
