Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb μαρτυρέω (martureō), meaning "to bear witness" or "to testify." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek μαρτυρία corresponds to several Hebrew terms related to testimony and witness, including: • עֵדוּת (edut) • Strong's Hebrew 5715, meaning "testimony" or "witness." • עֵד (ed) • Strong's Hebrew 5707, meaning "witness." • תְּעוּדָה (teudah) • Strong's Hebrew 8584, meaning "testimony" or "attestation." These Hebrew terms similarly convey the concept of bearing witness or providing evidence, often in a legal or covenantal context. Usage: In the New Testament, μαρτυρία is used to describe the testimony given by individuals, including the testimony of Jesus Christ, the apostles, and other believers. It is often associated with the proclamation of truth and the validation of divine revelation. Context: • Testimony of Jesus Christ: μαρτυρία is frequently used in the context of the testimony concerning Jesus Christ. In John 1:7, it is written, "He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe." This highlights the role of John the Baptist in bearing witness to Christ. • Apostolic Witness: The apostles are described as bearing μαρτυρία to the resurrection and the works of Jesus. Acts 4:33 states, "With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and abundant grace was upon them all." • Believers' Testimony: Believers are also called to bear witness to their faith. In Revelation 12:11, it is said, "They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death." • Legal and Judicial Contexts: μαρτυρία is used in legal contexts, referring to the testimony given in judicial proceedings. In Matthew 26:59-60, the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death. • Divine Testimony: The concept of divine testimony is also present, as seen in 1 John 5:9, "If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son."
