What does the Bible say about the witnesses to the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the gospel is confirmed by three witnesses: the apostles, God the Father, and the prophets.

According to 2 Peter 1:16-21, the validity of the gospel is established through a threefold witness. First, the apostles testify as eyewitnesses of Jesus' majesty and works, affirming that their message is not based on myths or fables. Second, God the Father bears witness to His Son, declaring Him as His beloved Son during significant moments such as Christ's baptism and the transfiguration. Lastly, the Old Testament prophets provide further testimony regarding Christ's coming and redemptive work, ensuring that the gospel stands on solid ground.
