1 I videh anđela gde silazi s neba, koji imaše ključ od bezdana i verige velike u ruci svojoj. 2 I uhvati aždahu, staru zmiju, koja je đavo i sotona, i sveza je na hiljadu godina, 3 i u bezdan baci je, i zatvori je, i zapečati nad njom, da više ne prelašćuje narode, dok se ne navrši hiljadu godina; i potom valja da bude odrešena na malo vremena. 4 I videh prestole, i seđahu na njima, i dade im se sud, i duše isečenih za svedočanstvo Isusovo i za reč Božiju, koji se ne pokloniše zveri ni ikoni njenoj, i ne primiše žig na čelima svojim i ruci svojoj; i oživeše i carovaše s Hristom hiljadu godina. 5 A ostali mrtvaci ne oživeše, dokle se ne svrši hiljada godina. Ovo je prvo vaskrsenje. 6 Blažen je i svet onaj koji ima deo u prvom vaskrsenju; nad njima druga smrt nema oblasti, nego će biti sveštenici Bogu i Hristu, i carovaće s Njim hiljadu godina. 7 I kad se svrši hiljadu godina, pustiće se sotona iz tamnice svoje, 8 i izići će da vara narode po sva četiri kraja zemlje, Goga i Magoga, da ih skupi na boj, kojih je broj kao pesak morski. 9 I iziđoše na širinu zemlje, i opkoliše logor svetih, i grad ljubazni; i siđe oganj od Boga s neba, i pojede ih. 10 I đavo koji ih varaše bi bačen u jezero ognjeno i sumporito, gde je zver i lažni prorok; i biće mučeni dan i noć va vek veka. 11 I videh veliki beo presto, i Onog što seđaše na njemu, od čijeg lica bežaše nebo i zemlja, i mesta im se ne nađe. 12 I videh mrtvace male i velike gde stoje pred Bogom, i knjige se otvoriše; i druga se knjiga otvori, koja je knjiga života; i sud primiše mrtvaci kao što je napisano u knjigama, po delima svojim. 13 I more dade svoje mrtvace, i smrt i pakao dadoše svoje mrtvace; i sud primiše po delima svojim. 14 I smrt i pakao bačeni biše u jezero ognjeno. I ovo je druga smrt. 15 I ko se ne nađe napisan u knjizi života, bačen bi u jezero ognjeno.

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).
… them sit down, and minister to them; or if this be in the second, or it be in the third, blessed are they." Again John also says the very same in the Apocalypse: "Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection." Then, too, Isaiah has declared the time when these events shall occur; he says: "And …
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Those who, on the strength of this passage, have suspected that the first resurrection is future and bodily, have been moved, among …

For after the times of the kingdom, he says, "I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth fled away, and the heavens; and there was no more place for them." And he sets forth, too, the things connected with the general resurrection and the judgment, mentioning "the dead, great and small." …
do not ye judge them that are within?" "And the souls," says John, "of those who were slain for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God,"--understanding what he afterwards says, "reigned with Christ a thousand years," --that is, the souls of the martyrs not yet restored to their bodies.

Moreover," he says, "the book of life was opened, and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works; and death and hell were sent into the lake of fire, the second death." Now this is what is called Gehenna, which the Lord styled eternal fire.
