1 και εδειξεν μοι ποταμον υδατος ζωης λαμπρον ως κρυσταλλον, εκπορευομενον εκ του θρονου του θεου και του αρνιου.
1 He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
2 εν μεσω της πλατειας αυτης και του ποταμου εντευθεν και εκειθεν ξυλον ζωης, ποιουν καρπους δωδεκα, κατα μηνα εκαστον αποδιδουν τον καρπον αυτου, και τα φυλλα του ξυλου εις θεραπειαν των εθνων.
2 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 και παν καταθεμα ουκ εσται ετι· και ο θρονος του θεου και του αρνιου εν αυτη εσται, και οι δουλοι αυτου λατρευσουσιν αυτω
3 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him.
4 και οψονται το προσωπον αυτου, και το ονομα αυτου επι των μετωπων αυτων.
4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5 και νυξ ουκ εσται ετι, και ου χρεια λυχνου και φωτος ηλιου, οτι κυριος ο θεος φωτιει αυτους, και βασιλευσουσιν εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων.
5 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
6 και λεγει μοι· ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι, και κυριος ο θεος των πνευματων των προφητων απεστειλεν τον αγγελον αυτου δειξαι τοις δουλοις αυτου α δει γενεσθαι εν ταχει.
6 He said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon.”
7 και ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ. μακαριος ο τηρων τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου.
7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 καγω ιωαννης ο ακουων και βλεπων ταυτα. και οτε ηκουσα και εβλεψα, επεσα προσκυνησαι εμπροσθεν των ποδων του αγγελου του δεικνυοντος μοι ταυτα.
8 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things.
9 και λεγει μοι· ορα μη· συνδουλος σου ειμι και των αδελφων σου των προφητων και των τηρουντων τους λογους του βιβλιου τουτου· τω θεω προσκυνησον.
9 He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 και λεγει μοι· μη σφραγισης τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου· ο καιρος γαρ εγγυς εστιν.
10 He said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
11 ο αδικων αδικησατω ετι, και ο ρυπαρος ρυπαρευθητω ετι, και ο δικαιος δικαιοσυνην ποιησατω ετι, και ο αγιος αγιασθητω ετι.
11 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.”
12 ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ, και ο μισθος μου μετ εμου, αποδουναι εκαστω ως το εργον εσται αυτου.
12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
13 εγω το α και το ω, ο πρωτος και ο εσχατος, αρχη και τελος.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 μακαριοι οι ποιουντες τας εντολας αυτου, ινα εσται η εξουσια αυτων επι το ξυλον της ζωης, και τοις πυλωσιν εισελθωσιν εις την πολιν.
14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.
15 εξω οι κυνες και οι φαρμακοι και οι πορνοι και οι φονεις και οι ειδωλολατραι και πας [ο] φιλων και ποιων ψευδος.
15 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 εγω ιησους επεμψα τον αγγελον μου μαρτυρησαι υμιν ταυτα επι ταις εκκλησιαις. εγω ειμι η ριζα και το γενος δαυιδ, ο αστηρ ο λαμπρος ο πρωινος.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 και το πνευμα και η νυμφη λεγουσιν· ερχου. και ο ακουων ειπατω· ερχου. και ο διψων ερχεσθω, και ο θελων λαβετω υδωρ ζωης δωρεαν.
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” He who hears, let him say, “Come!” He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.
18 μαρτυρω εγω παντι τω ακουοντι τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου. εαν τις επιθη επι ταυτα, επιθησει ο θεος επ αυτον τας πληγας τας γεγραμμενας εν τω βιβλιω τουτω·
18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
19 και εαν τις αφελη απο των λογων του βιβλιου της προφητειας ταυτης, αφελει ο θεος το μερος αυτου απο του ξυλου της ζωης και εκ της πολεως της αγιας, των γεγραμμενων εν τω βιβλιω τουτω.
19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
20 λεγει ο μαρτυρων ταυτα· ναι ερχομαι ταχυ. αμην, ναι ερχου, κυριε ιησου.
20 He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
21 η χαρις του κυριου ιησου [χριστου] μετα παντων των αγιων· αμην.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And thus He forewarns us: "Behold, the Lord [cometh], and His reward is before His face, to render to every man according to his work." He exhorts us, therefore, with our whole heart to attend to this, that we be not lazy or slothful in any good work.
… easy to obtain from the Church; since the apostles, like a rich man [depositing his money] in a bank, lodged in her hands most copiously all things pertaining to the truth: so that every man, whosoever will, can draw from her the water of life. For she is the entrance to life; all others are thieves and robbers.
But said the angel, "Rise; see thou do it not: worship God, for I am thy fellow-servant, and the brethren's." An angel, then, forbade a man to fall down at his feet.

He says, "be consummated," be completed, according to that in the Apocalypse, "Let the righteous become more righteous, and let the filthy be filthy still." For the wickedness of those men appears consummate, who crucified the Son of God; but greater is theirs who will not live uprightly, and hate the precepts of truth, for whom the Son of God …
