WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 μετα ταυτα ηκουσα ωσ φωνην μεγαλην οχλου πολλου εν τω ουρανω λεγοντων αλληλουια η σωτηρια και η δυναμισ και η δοξα του θεου ημων
1 After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;
2 οτι αληθιναι και δικαιαι αι κρισεισ αυτου οτι εκρινεν την πορνην την μεγαλην ητισ διεφθειρεν την γην εν τη πορνεια αυτησ και εξεδικησεν το αιμα των δουλων αυτου εκ χειροσ αυτησ
2 for his judgments are true and righteous. For he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.”
3 και δευτερον ειρηκεν αλληλουια και ο καπνοσ αυτησ αναβαινει εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων
3 A second said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever.”
4 και επεσον οι πρεσβυτεροι οι εικοσι τεσσαρεσ και τα τεσσαρα ζωα και προσεκυνησαν τω θεω τω καθημενω επι του θρονου λεγοντεσ αμην αλληλουια
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, “Amen! Hallelujah!”
5 και φωνη απο του θρονου εξηλθεν λεγουσα αινειτε τον θεον ημων παντεσ οι δουλοι αυτου και οι φοβουμενοι αυτον οι μικροι και οι μεγαλοι
5 A voice came from the throne, saying, “Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great!”
6 και ηκουσα ωσ φωνην οχλου πολλου και ωσ φωνην υδατων πολλων και ωσ φωνην βροντων ισχυρων λεγοντεσ αλληλουια οτι εβασιλευσεν κυριοσ ο θεοσ ημων ο παντοκρατωρ
6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!
7 χαιρωμεν και αγαλλιωμεθα και δωμεν την δοξαν αυτω οτι ηλθεν ο γαμοσ του αρνιου και η γυνη αυτου ητοιμασεν εαυτην
7 Let’s rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let’s give the glory to him. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.”
8 και εδοθη αυτη ινα περιβαληται βυσσινον λαμπρον και καθαρον το γαρ βυσσινον τα δικαιωματα των αγιων εστιν
8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 και λεγει μοι γραψον μακαριοι οι εισ το δειπνον του γαμου του αρνιου κεκλημενοι και λεγει μοι ουτοι οι λογοι αληθινοι του θεου εισιν
9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”
10 και επεσα εμπροσθεν των ποδων αυτου προσκυνησαι αυτω και λεγει μοι ορα μη συνδουλοσ σου ειμι και των αδελφων σου των εχοντων την μαρτυριαν ιησου τω θεω προσκυνησον η γαρ μαρτυρια του ιησου εστιν το πνευμα τησ προφητειασ
10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
11 και ειδον τον ουρανον ανεωγμενον και ιδου ιπποσ λευκοσ και ο καθημενοσ επ αυτον καλουμενοσ πιστοσ και αληθινοσ και εν δικαιοσυνη κρινει και πολεμει
11 I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.
12 οι δε οφθαλμοι αυτου φλοξ πυροσ και επι την κεφαλην αυτου διαδηματα πολλα εχων ονοματα γεγραμμενα και ονομα γεγραμμενον ο ουδεισ οιδεν ει μη αυτοσ
12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.
13 και περιβεβλημενοσ ιματιον βεβαμμενον αιματι και καλειται το ονομα αυτου ο λογοσ του θεου
13 He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called “The Word of God.”
14 και τα στρατευματα τα εν τω ουρανω ηκολουθει αυτω επι ιπποισ λευκοισ ενδεδυμενοι βυσσινον λευκον καθαρον
14 The armies which are in heaven, clothed in white, pure, fine linen, followed him on white horses.
15 και εκ του στοματοσ αυτου εκπορευεται ρομφαια διστομοσ οξεια ινα εν αυτη παταξη τα εθνη και αυτοσ ποιμανει αυτουσ εν ραβδω σιδηρα και αυτοσ πατει την ληνον του οινου του θυμου τησ οργησ του θεου του παντοκρατοροσ
15 Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
16 και εχει επι το ιματιον και επι τον μηρον αυτου ονομα γεγραμμενον βασιλευσ βασιλεων και κυριοσ κυριων
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
17 και ειδον αγγελον εστωτα εν τω ηλιω και εκραξεν φωνη μεγαλη λεγων πασιν τοισ ορνεοισ τοισ πετομενοισ εν μεσουρανηματι δευτε συναχθητε εισ το δειπνον το μεγα του θεου
17 I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, “Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,
18 ινα φαγητε σαρκασ βασιλεων και σαρκασ χιλιαρχων και σαρκασ ισχυρων και σαρκασ ιππων και των καθημενων επ αυτων και σαρκασ παντων ελευθερων τε και δουλων και μικρων τε και μεγαλων
18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, small and great.”
19 και ειδον το θηριον και τουσ βασιλεισ τησ γησ και τα στρατευματα αυτων συνηγμενα ποιησαι πολεμον μετα του καθημενου επι του ιππου και μετα του στρατευματοσ αυτου
19 I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse and against his army.
20 και επιασθη το θηριον και ο μετ αυτου ψευδοπροφητησ ο ποιησασ τα σημεια ενωπιον αυτου εν οισ επλανησεν τουσ λαβοντασ το χαραγμα του θηριου και τουσ προσκυνουντασ τη εικονι αυτου ζωντεσ εβληθησαν οι δυο εισ την λιμνην του πυροσ την καιομενην εν θειω
20 The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 και οι λοιποι απεκτανθησαν εν τη ρομφαια του καθημενου επι του ιππου τη εξελθουση εκ του στοματοσ αυτου και παντα τα ορνεα εχορτασθησαν εκ των σαρκων αυτων
21 The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. So all the birds were filled with their flesh.

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 He hath upon His vesture and upon His thigh a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords." Thus does the Word of God always preserve the outlines, as it were, of things to come, and points out to men the various forms (species), as it were, of the dispensations of the Father, teaching us the things pertaining …
… wonderful vision had been shown him, he trembled, and fell down at the Angel's feet; but that Angel, who sought not but the glory of God, said, "See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets." What then, my brethren?

And further, if the Creator and Lord of all things is called also King of Kings and Lord of Lords and God of Gods, surely also the saints are gods and lords and kings.

… person the apostasy, and accomplishes whatever he shall do according to his own will and choice, sitting also in the temple of God, so that his dupes may adore him as the Christ; wherefore also shall he deservedly "be cast into the lake of fire:" [this will happen according to divine appointment], God by His prescience foreseeing all this, and …
