ἐν Σμύρνῃ. 1 Text. Rec[82] read Σμυρναίων.

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

8. τᾠ�. Supposed by many of the ancient commentators to have been Polycarp.

ὂς ἐγένετο νεκρός. See on Revelation 1:18.

ἔζησεν. Lit., “lived,” i.e. came to life, revived. So Revelation 13:14, and Matthew 9:18; John 5:25. The attributes of death and life are here especially ascribed to Christ, because the message He sends is a promise of life to them who die for His sake.
