Revelation 22

Revelation 22:14

:TEXT: “·Blessed [are] those who rinse their robes”

S A 1006 2053 most lat vg cop(south)

ASV RSV NASV NIV NEB TEV RANK: BNOTES: “·Blessed [are] those who do his commandments”

KJV RSVnCOMMENTS: The two readings are pronounced similarly in Greek. It is not hard to see how might have changed into (that is, how “rinse their robes” changed into “do his commandments”), especially since “do his commandments” would be much more expected than “rinse their robes.” Elsewhere John writes “keep the commandments” (Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12).

Revelation 22:21

:TEXT: omit “Amen” at the end

A 1006 most Maj(A) two lat

NEB TEV RANK: CNOTES: include “Amen” at the end

S 046 051 94 1611 1854 2053 Maj(K,B,C) some Maj(A) most lat vg syr(ph,h) cop (one reads “Amen, Amen”)

KJV ASV RSV NASV NIV NEBnCOMMENTS: Copyists had a tendency to add “Amen” at the end of a book they had copied. If it were original, there is no way to explain its omission from so many manuscripts.
