This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
there - so Andreas. But A, B, Vulgate, and Syriac read, “(there shall be no night) any longer”; Greek, “eti,” for “ekei.”
they need - A, Vulgate, and Coptic read the future, “they shall not have need.” B reads, “(and there shall be) no need.”
candle - Greek, “lamp.” A, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic insert “light (of a candle, or lamp).” B Omits it.
of the sun - so A. But B omits it.
giveth ... light - “illumines.” So Vulgate and Syriac. But A reads, “shall give light.”
them - so B and Andreas. But A reads, “upon them.”
reign - with a glory probably transcending that of their reign in heaven with Christ over the millennial nations in the flesh described in Rev 20:4, Rev 20:6; that reign was but for a limited time, “a thousand years”; this final reign is “unto the ages of the ages.”
