Exegesis
The second main clause is coordinated with kai {καὶ | kai}, shifting the focus: ekeinai eisin hai martyrousai {ἐκεῖναι εἰσίν αἱ μαρτυροῦσαι | e-keî-nai ei-sín haí mar-tu-roû-sai} is a copular construction in which the demonstrative ekeinai is identified with the articular participle phrase “the ones bearing witness.” The participle martyrousai, feminine plural, grammatically ties back to graphas as its implied antecedent.
