PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Και είδον, και ιδού Αρνίον ιστάμενον επί το όρος Σιών, και μετ' αυτού εκατόν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, έχουσαι το όνομα του Πατρός αυτού γεγραμμένον επί των μετώπων αυτών.
1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
1 Καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σιών, καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, ἔχουσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν μετώπων αὐτῶν.
2 Και ήκουσα φωνήν εκ του ουρανού ως φωνήν υδάτων πολλών και ως φωνήν βροντής μεγάλης· και ήκουσα φωνήν κιθαρωδών οίτινες εκιθάριζον με τας κιθάρας αυτών.
2 I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of many waters and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
2 καὶ ἤκουσα [φωνὴν] ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν καὶ ὡς φωνὴν βροντῆς μεγάλης· καὶ ἡ φωνὴ ἣν ἤκουσα, ὡς κιθαρῳδῶν κιθαριζόντων ἐν ταῖς κιθάραις αὐτῶν.
3 Και έψαλλον ως ωδήν νέαν ενώπιον του θρόνου και ενώπιον των τεσσάρων ζώων και των πρεσβυτέρων· και ουδείς ηδύνατο να μάθη την ωδήν, ειμή αι εκατόν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, οι ηγορασμένοι από της γης.
3 They sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
3 καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου καὶ ἐνώπιον τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο μαθεῖν τὴν ᾠδὴν εἰ μὴ αἱ ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, οἱ ἠγορασμένοι ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
4 Ούτοι είναι οι μη μολυνθέντες με γυναίκας· διότι παρθένοι είναι. Ούτοι είναι οι ακολουθούντες το Αρνίον όπου αν υπάγη. Ούτοι ηγοράσθησαν από των ανθρώπων απαρχή εις τον Θεόν και εις το Αρνίον·
4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
4 οὗτοί εἰσιν οἳ μετὰ γυναικῶν οὐκ ἐμολύνθησαν· παρθένοι γάρ εἰσιν. οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες τῷ ἀρνίῳ ὅπου ἂν ὑπάγῃ. οὗτοι ἠγοράσθησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρχὴ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ·
5 και εν τω στόματι αυτών δεν ευρέθη δόλος, διότι είναι άμωμοι ενώπιον του θρόνου Θεού,
5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.
5 καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ψεῦδος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν· ἄμωμοι γάρ εἰσιν.
6 Και είδον άλλον άγγελον πετώμενον εις το μεσουράνημα, όστις είχεν ευαγγέλιον αιώνιον, διά να κηρύξη εις τους κατοικούντας επί της γης και εις παν έθνος και φυλήν και γλώσσαν και λαόν,
6 I saw an angel flying in mid heaven, having an eternal Good News to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
6 Καὶ εἶδον ἄλλον ἄγγελον πετόμενον ἐν μεσουρανήματι, ἔχοντα εὐαγγέλιον αἰώνιον εὐαγγελίσαι ἐπὶ τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ φυλὴν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ λαόν,
7 και έλεγε μετά φωνής μεγάλης· Φοβήθητε τον Θεόν και δότε δόξαν εις αυτόν, διότι ήλθεν η ώρα της κρίσεως αυτού, και προσκυνήσατε τον ποιήσαντα τον ουρανόν και την γην και την θάλασσαν και τας πηγάς των υδάτων.
7 He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”
7 λέγων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· φοβήθητε τὸν Κύριον καὶ δότε αὐτῷ δόξαν, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα τῆς κρίσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσκυνήσατε τῷ ποιήσαντι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ πηγὰς ὑδάτων.
8 Και άλλος άγγελος ηκολούθησε, λέγων· Έπεσεν, έπεσε Βαβυλών η πόλις η μεγάλη, διότι εκ του οίνου του θυμού της πορνείας αυτής επότισε πάντα τα έθνη.
8 Another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality.”
8 καὶ ἄλλος δεύτερος ἄγγελος ἠκολούθησε λέγων· ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσε Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἣ ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς πορνείας αὐτῆς πεπότικε πάντα ἔθνη.
9 Και τρίτος άγγελος ηκολούθησεν αυτούς, λέγων μετά φωνής μεγάλης· Όστις προσκυνεί το θηρίον και την εικόνα αυτού και λαμβάνει χάραγμα επί του μετώπου αυτού ή επί της χειρός αυτού,
9 Another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
9 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος τρίτος ἠκολούθησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ· εἴ τις προσκυνεῖ τὸ θηρίον καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ λαμβάνει τὸ χάραγμα ἐπὶ τοῦ μετώπου αὐτοῦ ἢ ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ,
10 και αυτός θέλει πίει εκ του οίνου του θυμού του Θεού του κεκερασμένου ακράτου εν τω ποτηρίω της οργής αυτού, και θέλει βασανισθή με πυρ και θείον ενώπιον των αγίων αγγέλων και ενώπιον του Αρνίου.
10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
10 καὶ αὐτὸς πίεται ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ κεκερασμένου ἀκράτου ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ τῆς ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ βασανισθήσεται ἐν πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἁγίων ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀρνίου.
11 Και ο καπνός του βασανισμού αυτών αναβαίνει εις αιώνας αιώνων, και δεν έχουσιν ανάπαυσιν ημέραν και νύκτα όσοι προσκυνούσι το θηρίον και την εικόνα αυτού και όστις λαμβάνει το χάραγμα του ονόματος αυτού.
11 The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
11 καὶ ὁ καπνὸς τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῶν εἰς αἰῶνας αἰώνων ἀναβαίνει, καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀνάπαυσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς οἱ προσκυνοῦντες τὸ θηρίον καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴ τις λαμβάνει τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.
12 Εδώ είναι η υπομονή των αγίων, εδώ οι φυλάττοντες τας εντολάς του Θεού και την πίστιν του Ιησού.
12 Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”
12 Ὧδε ἡ ὑπομονὴ τῶν ἁγίων ἐστίν, οἱ τηροῦντες τὰς ἐντολὰς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν πίστιν Ἰησοῦ.
13 Και ήκουσα φωνήν εκ του ουρανού λέγουσαν προς εμέ· Γράψον, Μακάριοι οι νεκροί, οίτινες αποθνήσκουσιν εν Κυρίω από του νυν. Ναι, λέγει το Πνεύμα, διά να αναπαυθώσιν από των κόπων αυτών, και τα έργα αυτών ακολουθούσι με αυτούς.
13 I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their works follow with them.”
13 Καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λεγούσης· γράψον, μακάριοι οἱ νεκροὶ οἱ ἐν Κυρίῳ ἀποθνήσκοντες ἀπ᾽ ἄρτι. ναί, λέγει τὸ Πνεῦμα, ἵνα ἀναπαύσωνται ἐκ τῶν κόπων αὐτῶν· τὰ δὲ ἔργα αὐτῶν ἀκολουθεῖ μετ᾽ αὐτῶν.
14 Και είδον, και ιδού, νεφέλη λευκή, και επί της νεφέλης εκάθητό τις όμοιος με υιόν ανθρώπου, έχων επί της κεφαλής αυτού στέφανον χρυσούν και εν τη χειρί αυτού δρέπανον κοπτερόν.
14 I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
14 Καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ νεφέλη λευκή, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν νεφέλην καθήμενος ὅμοιος υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου, ἔχων ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ στέφανον χρυσοῦν καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δρέπανον ὀξύ.
15 Και άλλος άγγελος εξήλθεν εκ του ναού, κράζων μετά μεγάλης φωνής προς τον καθήμενον επί της νεφέλης. Πέμψον το δρέπανόν σου και θέρισον, διότι ήλθεν εις σε η ώρα του να θερίσης, επειδή εξηράνθη ο θερισμός της γης.
15 Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!”
15 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, κράζων ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῆς νεφέλης· πέμψον τὸ δρέπανόν σου καὶ θέρισον, ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα [τοῦ] θερίσαι, ὅτι ἐξηράνθη ὁ θερισμὸς τῆς γῆς.
16 Και ο καθήμενος επί της νεφέλης έβαλε το δρέπανον αυτού επί την γην, και εθερίσθη η γη.
16 He who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
16 καὶ ἔβαλεν ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τὴν νεφέλην τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐθερίσθη ἡ γῆ.
17 Και άλλος άγγελος εξήλθεν εκ του ναού του εν τω ουρανώ, έχων και αυτός δρέπανον κοπτερόν.
17 Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle.
17 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ἔχων καὶ αὐτὸς δρέπανον ὀξύ.
18 Και άλλος άγγελος εξήλθεν εκ του θυσιαστηρίου, έχων εξουσίαν επί του πυρός, και εφώναξε μετά κραυγής μεγάλης προς τον έχοντα το δρέπανον το κοπτερόν, λέγων· Πέμψον το δρέπανόν σου το κοπτερόν και τρύγησον τους βότρυας της αμπέλου της γης, διότι ωρίμασαν τα σταφύλια αυτής.
18 Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth’s grapes are fully ripe!”
18 Καὶ ἄλλος ἄγγελος ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, ἔχων ἐξουσίαν ἐπὶ τοῦ πυρός, καὶ ἐφώνησε κραυγῇ μεγάλῃ τῷ ἔχοντι τὸ δρέπανον τὸ ὀξὺ λέγων· πέμψον σου τὸ δρέπανον τὸ ὀξὺ καὶ τρύγησον τοὺς βότρυας τῆς ἀμπέλου τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἤκμασεν ἡ σταφυλὴ τῆς γῆς.
19 Και έβαλεν ο άγγελος το δρέπανον αυτού εις την γην και ετρύγησε την άμπελον της γης και έρριψε τα τρυγηθέντα εις τον μεγάλον ληνόν του θυμού του Θεού.
19 The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God.
19 καὶ ἔβαλεν ὁ ἄγγελος τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐτρύγησε τὴν ἄμπελον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔβαλεν εἰς τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν μεγάλην.
20 Και επατήθη ο ληνός έξω της πόλεως, και εξήλθεν αίμα εκ του ληνού έως των χαλινών των ίππων εις διάστημα χιλίων εξακοσίων σταδίων.
20 The wine press was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out of the wine press, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.
20 καὶ ἐπατήθη ἡ ληνὸς ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αἷμα ἐκ τῆς ληνοῦ ἄχρι τῶν χαλινῶν τῶν ἵππων ἀπὸ σταδίων χιλίων ἑξακοσίων.

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 therefore in another part of this same book we read, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth and now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works do follow them." The Church, then, begins its reign with Christ now in the living and in the dead.
