1 Corinthians 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

They and I were preaching. Who is the they ? It is readily seen Paul is the I. They were the apostles; Peter and the twelve.

What were they all preaching? The resurrection of Christ, as can be seen in verse 12.

Peter and the disciples witnessed the resurrection of Christ.

[Act 2:32 KJV] 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

[Act 5:32 KJV] 32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

[Act 10:41 KJV] 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

Peter and the disciples preached the resurrection.

[Act 2:24 KJV] 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

[Act 3:26 KJV] 26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

[Act 4:2 KJV] 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

[Act 4:10 KJV] 10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

[Act 5:30 KJV] 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

[Act 10:40 KJV] 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

They were all preaching the resurrection but were not all preaching the same thing when it came to what it accomplished.

Peter preached that Christ was raised to sit on David's throne.

[Act 2:30 KJV] 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Peter was preaching that Christ was resurrected to sit on David's throne in the prophetic kingdom on earth.

[Romans 4:25 KJV] 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Paul was preaching the resurrection of Jesus as being the means of our justification by faith, along with His substitutionary death as payment for all our sins.
