1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
1 Y VI un ángel descender del cielo, que tenía la llave del abismo, y una grande cadena en su mano.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
2 Y prendió al dragón, aquella serpiente antigua, que es el Diablo y Satanás, y le ató por mil años;
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.
3 Y arrojólo al abismo, y le encerró, y selló sobre él, porque no engañe más á las naciones, hasta que mil años sean cumplidos: y después de esto es necesario que sea desatado un poco de tiempo.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
4 Y vi tronos, y se sentaron sobre ellos, y les fué dado juicio; y [vi] las almas de los degollados por el testimonio de Jesús, y por la palabra de Dios, y que no habían adorado la bestia, ni á su imagen, y que no recibieron la señal en sus frentes, ni en sus manos; y vivieron y reinaron con Cristo mil años.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
5 Mas los otros muertos no tornaron á vivir hasta que sean cumplidos mil años. Esta es la primera resurrección.
6 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.
6 Bienaventurado y santo el que tiene parte en la primera resurrección: la segunda muerte no tiene potestad en éstos; antes serán sacerdotes de Dios y de Cristo, y reinarán con él mil años.
7 And when the thousand years have expired, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,
7 Y cuando los mil años fueren cumplidos, Satanás será suelto de su prisión,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
8 Y saldrá para engañar las naciones que están sobre los cuatro ángulos de la tierra, á Gog y á Magog, á fin de congregarlos para la batalla; el número de los cuales es como la arena del mar.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
9 Y subieron sobre la anchura de la tierra, y circundaron el campo de los santos, y la ciudad amada: y de Dios descendió fuego del cielo, y los devoró.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are] , and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
10 Y el diablo que los engañaba, fué lanzado en el lago de fuego y azufre, donde está la bestia y el falso profeta; y serán atormentados día y noche para siempre jamás.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
11 Y vi un gran trono blanco y al que estaba sentado sobre él, de delante del cual huyó la tierra y el cielo; y no fué hallado el lugar de ellos.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
12 Y vi los muertos, grandes y pequeños, que estaban delante de Dios; y los libros fueron abiertos: y otro libro fué abierto, el cual es de la vida: y fueron juzgados los muertos por las cosas que estaban escritas en los libros, según sus obras.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
13 Y el mar dió los muertos que estaban en él; y la muerte y el infierno dieron los muertos que estaban en ellos; y fué hecho juicio de cada uno según sus obras.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
14 Y el infierno y la muerte fueron lanzados en el lago de fuego. Esta es la muerte segunda.
15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
15 Y el que no fué hallado escrito en el libro de la vida, fué lanzado en el lago de fuego.

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.
