         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:μαρτυρέω}[a] ‘to witness,’ {D:33.262}) the content of what is witnessed or said

         Glosses: ['testimony', 'witness']

         Comments: In a number of languages one must specify the content of the witness, and it also may be necessary to indicate the agent who is engaged in the witnessing. For example, in {S:04101405500024} it may be necessary to translate ‘they tried to find someone who would testify against Jesus’ or ‘… say something against Jesus.’ In {S:04600100600006} it may be necessary to translate ‘what we told you from personal experience about Christ has become so firmly fixed in you’ or ‘… has become so much a part of you.’
