But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—that you also may believe. For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
John's testimony had an important characteristic; he reported accurately what he saw and could testify to. He witnessed the fulfilling of Scriptural prophecy—no broken bones (Ps 34:20) and that others would look on Him whom they pierced (Zec 12:10)
Likewise, my testimony must be that to which I can truthfully and accurately state. This is who I was; this is who I am is a good start if who I am is a God-honoring individual.
