1 I pokaza mi čistu reku vode života, bistru kao kristal, koja izlažaše od prestola Božijeg i Jagnjetovog. 2 Nasred ulica njegovih i s obe strane reke drvo života, koje rađa dvanaest rodova dajući svakog meseca svoj rod; i lišće od drveta beše za isceljivanje narodima. 3 I više neće biti nikakve prokletinje; i presto Božji i Jagnjetov biće u njemu; i sluge Njegove posluživaće Ga. 4 I gledaće lice Njegovo, i ime Njegovo biće na čelima njihovim. 5 I noći tamo neće biti, i neće potrebovati videla od žiška, ni videla sunčanog, jer će ih obasjavati Gospod Bog, i carovaće va vek veka. 6 I reče mi: Ovo su reči verne i istinite, i Gospod Bog svetih proroka posla anđela svog da pokaže slugama svojim šta će biti skoro. 7 Evo ću doći skoro: Blago onome koji drži reči proroštva knjige ove. 8 I ja Jovan videh ovo i čuh; i kad čuh i videh, padoh da se poklonim na noge anđela koji mi ovo pokaza. 9 I reče mi: Gle, nemoj, jer sam i ja sluga kao i ti i braća tvoja proroci i oni koji drže reči proroštva knjige ove. Bogu se pokloni. 10 I reče mi: Ne zapečaćavaj reči proroštva knjige ove; jer je vreme blizu. 11 Ko čini nepravdu, neka čini još nepravdu; i ko je pogan, neka se još pogani; i ko je pravedan, neka još čini pravdu; i ko je svet neka se još sveti. 12 I evo ću doći skoro, i plata moja sa mnom, da dam svakome po delima njegovim. 13 Ja sam Alfa i Omega, Početak i Svršetak, Prvi i Poslednji. 14 Blago onome koji tvori zapovesti Njegove, da im bude vlast na drvo života, i da uđu na vrata u grad. 15 A napolju su psi i vračari i kurvari i krvnici i idolopoklonici i svaki koji ljubi i čini laž. 16 Ja Isus poslah anđela svog da vam ovo posvedoči u crkvama. Ja sam koren i rod Davidov, i sjajna zvezda Danica. 17 I Duh i nevesta govore: Dođi. I koji čuje neka govori: Dođi. I ko je žedan neka dođe, i ko hoće neka uzme vodu života za badava. 18 Jer svedočim svakome koji čuje reči proroštva knjige ove; ako ko dometne ovome, Bog će nametnuti na njega zla napisana u knjizi ovoj; 19 i ako ko oduzme od reči knjige proroštva ovog, Bog će oduzeti njegov deo od knjige života, i od grada svetog, i od onog što je napisano u knjizi ovoj. 20 Govori Onaj koji svedoči ovo: Da, doći ću skoro! Amin. Da, dođi, Gospode Isuse. 21 Blagodat Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista sa svima vama. Amin.

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 …
