(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

White robes were given unto every one of them (ἐδόθησαν ἑκάστοις στολαὶ λευκαὶ)

The best texts read ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἑκάστῳ στολὴ λευκή there was given them to each one a white robe. So Rev. Στολὴ is properly a long, flowing robe; a festive garment. Compare Mar 16:5; Luk 15:22; Luk 20:46.

Should rest (ἀναπαύσωνται)

See on Mat 11:28; see on 1Pe 5:14; compare Rev 14:13; Dan 12:13. Not merely rest from their crying for vengeance, but rest in peace.

Fellow-servants

See Master in Rev 6:10.

Should be fulfilled (πληρώσονται)

Completed in number. See Col 2:10. Some texts read πληρώσωσιν shall have fulfilled their course.
