Exegesis
The relative pronoun hou {οὗ | hoû} introduces a relative clause that most naturally refers back to “this Jesus” and His resurrection, with the clause hou pantes hemeis esmen martyres {οὗ πάντες ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν μάρτυρες | hoû pán-tes hē-meîs é-smen már-tu-res} identifying the community (“all we”) as “witnesses.”
In context — Acts 2:32
This Jesus God has raised up, of whom all we are witnesses.
