marturion denotes witness-bearing evidence, expressed in proclamation, actions, or the named tent.

The attested use chiefly concerns witness-bearing evidence: a proclaimed message, a public action or circumstance that stands as evidence, or a designation connected with the tent. In two verses, the genitive form occurs in the phrase rendered “tent of testimony.”

1. Witness-bearing message or public evidence · dominant

   The accusative singular form occurs in clauses about proclamation and acts that stand before others: in Acts 4:33 the APB renders the apostles as “giving the testimony of the resurrection,” while in 1 Corinthians 2:1 it renders a proclamation of “the testimony of God.” In Luke 5:14 an offering after cleansing is rendered as being “as a testimony to them,” and in Mark 6:11 shaking dust from the feet after rejection is rendered as a testimony.

   Acts 4:331 Corinthians 2:1Luke 5:14Mark 6:11Matthew 24:14James 5:3
2. Designation in the phrase “tent of testimony” · rare

   In Acts 7:44 the genitive singular form appears in the phrase the APB renders “The tent of testimony,” describing the tent with the fathers in the wilderness. Revelation 15:5 likewise renders “the temple of the tent of the testimony in heaven.”

   Acts 7:44Revelation 15:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB usually uses “testimony,” including testimony of God, of the resurrection, and to or against others; it also renders the fixed setting as “tent of testimony.” These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate an English equivalent in every instance.
