bear witness

The state legislature’s medical affairs committee’s first hearing on the bill last month saw hundreds of South Carolinians gathered to testify and bear witness.

The statement adds that the artefacts "bear witness to the history of the encounter between faith and the cultures of the indigenous peoples".

The assembled liturgical objects, save one, bear witness to the highest levels of European artistry and craftsmanship of the period.

It looked like the whole town was there to bear witness to the sad event.

The point, simply, was being together, bearing witness to each other’s lives, week by week, as women and as friends.
