not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses God had chosen in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
In context
39And we are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree, 40but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to be seen — 41not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses God had chosen in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42He commanded us to proclaim to the people and to testify that this is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43To him all the prophets bear witness: everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
