The 6 Witnesses in 1 John 5:7-8

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.
I John 5:7‭-‬8

The 3 witnesses in Heaven 
1. The Father prepared the body (Heb 10:5)
2. The Holy Spirit produced the body (Mat 1:20)
3. The Son possessed the body (Jn 1:14)

The 3 witnesses on earth
1. The Spirit speaks of His incarnation - commencement of His Manhood
2. The water speaks of His baptism - commencement of His Servanthood
3. The blood speaks of His crucifixion - commencement of His High Priesthood
