Revelation of John 22

The River and the Tree of Life

1Then ahe showed me a briver of the cwater of life, ▼
▼ Lit bright
clear eas crystal, coming from the throne of God and of ▼
▼ Or the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was
the Lamb, 2in the middle of gits street. hOn either side of the river was ithe tree of life, bearing twelve ▼
▼ Or crops of fruit
 kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 kThere will no longer be any curse; and lthe throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will mserve Him; 4they will nsee His face, and His oname will be on their pforeheads. 5And qthere will no longer be any night; and they ▼
▼ Lit do not have
will not have need sof the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will treign forever and ever.

6And uhe said to me, v“These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the wGod of the spirits of the prophets, xsent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

7“And behold, yI am coming quickly. zBlessed is he who ▼
▼ Lit keeps
heeds abthe words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 acI, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, adI fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9But ae he said to me, “Do not do that. I am a affellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who ▼
▼ Lit keep
heed the words of ahthis book. Worship God.”

The Final Message

10 And he said to me, ai“Do not seal up ajthe words of the prophecy of this book, akfor the time is near. 11 al“Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

12“Behold, amI am coming quickly, and My anreward is with Me, aoto render to every man ▼
▼ Lit as his work is
according to what he has done. 13“I am the aqAlpha and the Omega, arthe first and the last, asthe beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who atwash their robes, so that they may have the right to authe tree of life, and may aventer by the awgates into the city. 15 axOutside are the aydogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16 az“I, Jesus, have sent baMy angel to testify to you these things ▼
▼ Or concerning
 , bcfor the churches. I am bdthe root and the bedescendant of David, the bright bfmorning star.”

17The bgSpirit and the bhbride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And bilet the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the bjwater of life without cost.

18I testify to everyone who hears bkthe words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone bladds to them, God will add to him bmthe plagues which are written in bnthis book; 19and if anyone botakes away from the bpwords of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from bqthe tree of life and ▼
▼ Lit out of
from the holy city, bswhich are written in this book.

20He who bttestifies to these things says, “Yes, buI am coming quickly.” Amen. bvCome, Lord Jesus.

21 bwThe grace of the Lord Jesus be with ▼
▼ One early ms reads the saints
all. Amen.
