I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will be revealed.
witness of the suffering of Christ -- This is an affirmation of Peter’s eyewitness recollection of the life of Jesus (cf. Acts 3:15; Acts 10:39). It may also reflect Peter’s memory of Jesus’ words in Acts 1:8. The term “suffering” refers to the crucifixion.
