English (Thayer)

(μάρτυς) (Aeolic μάρτυρ, a form not found in the N. T.; (etymologically one who is mindful, heeds; probably allied with Latin memor, cf. Vanicek, p. 1201; Curtius, § 466)), μάρτυρός, accusative μάρτυρα, ὁ; plural μάρτυρες, dative plural μάρτυσι; the Sept. for עֵד; (Hesiod, Simonides, Theognis, others); a witness (one who avers, or can aver, what he himself has seen or heard or knows by any other means);
a. in a legal sense: G L T Tr WH; L T Tr WH; μάρτυρα εἶναι τίνι, to be a witness for one, serve him by testimony, R G; T Tr WH). He is said to be a witness, to whose attestation appeal is made; hence, the formulas μάρτυς μου ἐστιν ὁ Θεός, Θεός μάρτυς, μάρτυρα τόν Θεόν ἐπικαλοῦμαι, ὑμεῖς μάρτυρες καί ὁ Θεός, God's witnesses: μάρτυρες Ἰησοῦ, who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death (cf B. D. American edition and Dict. of Chris. Antiq. under the word <TOPIC:Martyr>): Revelation 17:6.
