1 Potom vrati se anđeo koji mi govoraše, i probudi me kao čoveka koji se budi oda sna. 2 I reče mi: Šta vidiš? A ja rekoh: Vidim, eto, svećnjak sav od zlata, i gore na njemu čaša, i sedam žižaka njegovih na njemu, i sedam levaka za sedam žižaka što su gore na njemu, 3 i dve masline uza nj, jedna s desne strane čaši a jedna s leve. 4 I progovorih anđelu koji govoraše sa mnom, i rekoh: Šta je to, gospodaru moj? 5 A anđeo koji govoraše sa mnom odgovori i reče mi: Zar ne znaš šta je to? I rekoh: Ne, gospodaru moj. 6 A on odgovori i reče mi govoreći: To je reč Gospodnja Zorovavelju: ne silom ni krepošću nego Duhom mojim, veli Gospod nad vojskama. 7 Šta si ti, goro velika, pred Zorovaveljem? Ravnica; i on će izneti najviši kamen, s usklicima: Milost, milost njemu. 8 I dođe mi reč Gospodnja govoreći: 9 Ruke Zorovaveljeve osnovaše ovaj dom, ruke će njegove i dovršiti, i poznaćeš da me je Gospod nad vojskama poslao k vama. 10 Jer ko je prezreo dan malih stvari? Jer će se radovati kad vidi kamen merački u ruci Zorovavelju, onih sedam očiju Gospodnjih koji prelaze svu zemlju. 11 Tada odgovarajući rekoh mu: Šta su one dve masline s desne strane svećnjaku i s leve? 12 I opet progovorih i rekoh mu: Šta su one dve grančice maslinove, što su među dva levka zlatna, koji toče zlato? 13 I reče mi govoreći: Zar ne znaš šta je to? A ja rekoh: Ne, gospodaru moj. 14 Tada reče: To su dve masline koje stoje kod Gospoda sve zemlje.

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).
Some again dared to say that He has seven eyes, because it is written, seven eyes of the Lord looking upon the whole earth.
