(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

And 1 John (Kagō Iōannēs). Here John the Seer is the speaker. He had already given his name (Rev 1:1, Rev 1:4, Rev 1:9). Here he claims to be the “one who hears and sees these things” (ho akouōn kai blepōn tauta).

I fell down to worship (epesa proskunēsai). Second aorist active indicative of piptō (with ̇a form) and the first aorist active infinitive of purpose of proskuneō. It was a natural, though a wrong, thing to do, especially after Christ’s own voice followed that of the angel “which shewed me these things” (tou deiknuontos tauta). Genitive singular of the articular present active participle of deiknuō. Cf. Rev 1:1; Rev 4:1; Rev 17:1; Rev 21:9.; Rev 22:1, Rev 22:6.
