Exegesis
The infinitive martyrēsai {μαρτυρῆσαι | martyrêsai} functions purposively (“to bear witness”), governing the dative hymin {ὑμῖν | hū-mîn} as recipients and tauta {ταῦτα | taûta} as the content.
In context — Revelation 22:16
I, Jesus , sent My angel to bear witness to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.
