Commentaries on Revelation 22:20
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 20Surely I come quickly - This may be truly said to every person in every age; Jesus the Judge is at the door!

A, B, and Aleph omit "Even so," Greek, "nai": then translate for Amen, "So be it, come, Lord Jesus"; joining the "Amen," or "So be it," not with Christ's saying (for He calls Himself the "Amen" at the beginning of sentences, rather than puts it as a confirmation at the end), but with John's reply. Christ's "I come," and John's "Come," are…Read the comment
