A phrase such as cannot stop speaking is equivalent in some languages to “we must continue speaking.” In other instances it is equivalent to “there can be no end to our speaking” or “our speaking will not finish.”

What we ourselves have seen and heard refers to the deeds and words of Jesus, especially to his resurrection.
