chapter 22
1
And he
showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the
throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides
of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits
every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne
of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him.
4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on
their foreheads.
5 And night shall be no more: and they shall not need
the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall
enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said to me: These words are most faithful and
true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to shew
his servants the things which must be done shortly.
7 And, Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that
keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.
8 And I, John, who have heard and seen these things. And
after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel,
who shewed me these things.
9 And he said to me: See thou do it not: for I am thy
fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the
words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God.
10 And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the
prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is
filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified
still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.
12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to
render to every man according to his works.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the
beginning and the end.
14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood
of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in
by the gates into the city.
15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and
murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these
things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and
morning star.
17 And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that
heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that
will, let him take the water of life, freely.
18 For I testify to every one that heareth the words of
the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add
unto him the plagues written in this book.
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.
20 He that giveth testimony of these things, saith,
Surely I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
