I am the root and the offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”

He who hears, let him say, “Come!”

He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.”

Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.

for I know that you seek Jesus, who has been crucified.

He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said.
