Revelation 19:9

καὶ … Γράψον. Arm[709] has unus e presbyteris after καί. γράψον is omitted by 1 An[710][711], ba[712].

[709] Armenian.
[710] Andreas’ Augsburg MS. 12th century.
[711] Andreas’ Augsburg MS. 12th century.
[712] Andreas’ Munich MS.

τοῦ γάμου. א* P 1 And[713] omit.

[713] Andreas Archbishop of Caesarea.

οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι. א* adds μου.

9. καὶ λέγει. Who speaks? Plainly an angel (see Revelation 19:10), presumably the angel of Revelation 17:1. Possibly the same as the angel of Revelation 1:1.

μακάριοι. St John and “they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein” (Revelation 1:3) are made to realise heartily what our Lord’s fellow-guest (St Luke 14:15) said without seeing the full force of his own words. Of course, when we reduce the image to plain prose, “they that are called” are the same as the Bride: while St Paul again speaks of them as her children. All will rejoice together, and each will rejoice apart; each will have a joy of his own, and each will have his own sight of the joy of all.
