'Testimony' in the Bible

this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

He was not the Light, but he existed that he might give testimony concerning the Light.

John gave testimony concerning Him and cried aloud, saying, "This is He of whom I said, 'He who is coming after me has been put before me,' for He was before me."

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

John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.

I myself have [actually] seen [that happen], and my testimony is that this is the Son of God!”

and did not need any one's testimony concerning a man, for He of Himself knew what was in the man.

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi (Teacher), the Man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan [at the Jordan River crossing]—and to whom you have testified—look, He is baptizing too, and everyone is going to Him!”

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

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

There is Another who testifies about Me, and I know that the testimony He gives about Me is valid.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

“But I have a greater testimony than John’s because of the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish. These very works I am doing testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.

And the Father who sent me, *He* has given testimony concerning me. None of you have ever either heard His voice or seen what He is like.

"You search the Scriptures, because you suppose that in them you will find the Life of the Ages; and it is those Scriptures that yield testimony concerning me;

It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.

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

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

I am One [of the Two] who testifies about Myself, and My Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name--they give testimony about me.

"I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,

"So then *you* are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."

He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows he is telling the truth.

This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
