# Witness (Martyr)
|
||||
The word “witness” is used to talk about a person who saw or experienced something that happened (Luke 24:48; John 1:7; Acts 2:32). The word “eyewitness” is used when the person was actually there and saw what happened (Luke 1:2; 2 Peter 1:16).
|
||||
|
||||
A “martyr” is someone who is killed because of what he believes (Revelation 2:13; 17:6).

In a trial, a witness “gives witness” or “bears witness.” That is, they tell the people at the trial what they saw or heard. Witnesses are expected to tell the truth about what they have seen or heard. A witness who does not tell the truth about what happened is called a “false witness” (Matthew 26:60). He is said to “give false witness” or to “bear false witness.”
