Revelation 22

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The River of Life Flowing From The Throne of God

22 And he showed^[a] me a river of the water of life, shining^[b] like crystal, proceeding out from the throne of God and of the Lamb, ² in the middle of its wide-road. And on this side and on that side of the river is a tree of life producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit^[c] every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the service^[d] of the nations. ³ And there will no longer be any accursed^[e] thing. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it. And His slaves will serve^[f] Him, ⁴ and see His face. And His name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there will be no more night. And they do not have a need of the light of a lamp and the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give-light upon them. And they will reign forever and ever.

The Angel Says, These Words Are Trustworthy And True. I, John, Heard And Saw These Things

⁶ And he^[g] said to me, “These words are trustworthy^[h] and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits^[i] of the prophets, sent-forth His angel^[j] to show^[k] His slaves the things which must take place quickly. ⁷ And behold— I^[l] am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book”. ⁸ And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship^[m] in front of the feet of the angel showing me these things. ⁹ And he says to me, “See that you not do it. I am a fellow-slave of you and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping the words of this book. Give-worship to God”.

Behold, I Am Coming Quickly To Render To Each His Due. Come, Take The Water of Life

¹⁰ And he^[n] says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. ¹¹ Let the one doing-unrighteousness still do-unrighteousness. And let the filthy^[o] one still be-filthy. And let the righteous one still do righteousness. And let the holy one still be made-holy. ¹² ‘Behold— I am coming quickly. And My recompense^[p] is with Me, to render to each one as his work is. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. ¹⁴ Blessed are the ones washing^[q] their robes so that their right^[r] over the tree of life will exist^[s], and they may enter^[t] into the city by the gates. ¹⁵ Outside are the dogs^[u] and the sorcerers, and the sexually-immoral ones, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and doing falsehood. ¹⁶ I, Jesus, sent My angel^[v] to testify these things to you^[w] for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star^[x]’. ¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come^[y]’. And let the one hearing say, ‘Come’. And let the one thirsting, come. Let the one wanting^[z], take^[aa] the water of life as-a-gift^[ab]. ¹⁸ I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues having been written in this book. ¹⁹ And if anyone takes-away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take his part^[ac] away-from the tree of life, and out-from the holy city— the ones having been written in this book. ²⁰ The One testifying these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly’”.

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. ²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
