John 15: Jesus's own definition of apostolic witness "from the beginning"

The Gospels Are History Not Myth 00:33:50 – 00:35:21

Third Gospel parallel to Luke's and Acts's "from the beginning" language.

John 15 records Jesus telling the Twelve: "You also will bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning." This tri-textual consistency (Luke 1, Acts 1, John 15) confirms that "from the beginning" is a formal designation for the apostles' role as authoritative eyewitness guarantors of the entire Jesus tradition — not a casual claim.
