Acts 10:41

not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses God had already chosen, ¹  who ate and drank ²  with him after he rose from the dead.

He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen beforehand to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

Not everyone saw him--he wasn't put on public display. Witnesses had been carefully handpicked by God beforehand--us! We were the ones, there to eat and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

"not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.
