Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Revelation 10:11

λέγουσιν. Text. Rec[369] reads λέγει with P 1, most Latins, and other versions.

[369] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.

καὶ ἔθνεσιν. B2 reads καὶ ἐπὶ ἔθν.

11. καὶ λέγουσίν μοι. For the impersonal plural cf. βλέπωσιν Revelation 16:15.

δεῖ σε πάλιν προφητεῦσαι. If, as is possible (see on Revelation 10:7), this implies a new or renewed commission to the Seer, it is surely unnecessary to try to make out that the remainder of the book contains higher mysteries than the foregoing part. The words certainly include a personal warning to the Apostle himself;—he was to see the end of all things in vision, but his own earthly work and duties were not at an end. He had already “prophesied before many peoples and nations and tongues and kings” (whether Nero or Domitian was the last of these): and he would have to do the same “again.”
