Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis martyrion {εἰς μαρτύριον | eis martyrion} ‘into testimony’ expresses result or intended function rather than physical motion, so English naturally smooths it into a testimony-type rendering. The Greek order moves from outcome to recipients to result, preserving the emphasis that the coming pressure is not meaningless but will function as witness.
Root and etymology
martysmu alpha rho tau upsilon sigma
“witness, one who gives testimony”
In context — Luke 21:13
It will turn out for you as a testimony.
