    How the English word “evidence” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.

    EV'IDENCE, noun

    [Latin evidentia, from video, to see.]

    1. That which elucidates and enables the mind to see truth; proof arising from our own perceptions by the senses, or from the testimony of others, or from inductions of reason.
    2. Any instrument or writing which contains proof.“I delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch” Jeremiah 32:16“I subscribed the evidence and sealed it” Jeremiah 32:10
    3. A witness; one who testifies to a fact.
    All definitions and other forms of “evidence”

      EV'IDENCE, verb transitive

      To elucidate; to prove; to make clear to the mind; to show in such a manner that the mind can apprehend the truth, or in a manner to convince it. The testimony of two witnesses is usually sufficient to evidence the guilt of an offender. The works of creation clearly evidence the existence of an infinite first cause.
