'Witness' in the Bible

He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

John testified saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.

I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”

and because He did not need anyone to testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him.”

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’

What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true.

“If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.

There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.

But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.

So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him.

“When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

Jesus answered him, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”

Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.

This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.
