This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Bare witness (emarturēsen). First aorist active indicative of martureō, which, along with martus and marturia, is common in all the Johannine books (cf. Rev 22:18, Rev 22:20), usually with peri or hoti, but with cognate accusative as here in Rev 22:16, Rev 22:20; 1Jo 5:10. Epistolary aorist here, referring to this book.
The word of God (ton logon tou theou). Subjective genitive, given by God. The prophetic word as in Rev 1:9; Rev 6:9; Rev 20:4, not the personal Word as in Rev 19:14.
The testimony of Jesus Christ (tēn marturian Iēsou Christou). Subjective genitive again, borne witness to by Jesus Christ.
Even of all the things that he saw (hosa eiden). Relative clause in apposition with logon and marturian.
