Strong's Lexicon summartureó: To bear witness with, to testify together Original Word: συμμαρτυρέω Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and μαρτυρέω (martureó, meaning "to testify" or "to bear witness"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for summartureó, the concept of bearing witness is found in Hebrew words like עֵד (ed, Strong's H5707) meaning "witness" and עוּד (ud, Strong's H5749) meaning "to bear witness" or "to testify." Usage: The verb συμμαρτυρέω (summartureó) is used to describe the act of bearing witness or testifying in conjunction with another. It implies a joint testimony or corroboration of evidence. In the New Testament, it often refers to the Holy Spirit bearing witness with the believer's spirit, affirming their identity as children of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of bearing witness was crucial in legal and social contexts. Testimonies were often required to establish truth and validate claims. The idea of joint testimony, as implied by summartureó, would have been understood as a powerful affirmation, especially in legal settings where multiple witnesses were needed to confirm a matter.
