The Hebrew and Greek that is translated as “witness” in English is translated as “truly have seen” in Highland Popoluca, as “telling the truth regarding something (Eastern Highland Otomi), as “know something” in Lalana Chinantec, as “verily know something to be the truth” in San Mateo del Mar Huave, as we ourselves saw this Desano, as “tell the truth about something in Eastern Highland Otomi, as “know something is true because of seeing it” in Teutila Cuicatec.
