13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.



Ver. 13. Dipped in blood] In the blood of his enemies, as a victor returning from a huge slaughter. Caesar is said to have taken prisoner one million of men, and to have slain as many; Mahomet I (emperor of the Turks), to have been the death of 800,000 men; Seanderbeg, to have slain 800 Turks with his own hand. But our Conqueror shall outdo all these; when he shall tread them in his anger, and trample them in his fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon his garments, and he will stain all his raiment, Isa_63:3.



The word of God] Joh_1:1; Joh_1:7. Hereby it appears that this was John the Evangelist that wrote this book. Idiotismus Ioannis. (Pareus.)
