ἰδού. Text. Rec[882] with 1 καὶ ἰδού.

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

12. ἰδοὺ ἔρχομαι ταχύ. Of course He Who “comes” is the Lord Jesus: it does not follow that He is personally present to the Seer, possibly the angel still speaks in His name.

ὁ μισθός μου μετʼ ἐμοῦ. Isaiah 5:10; Isaiah 62:11.

ἀποδοῦναι. To render to every man. The source of the expression is in Job 34:11; Psalms 62:12. In the N.T. this retribution is ascribed to God in Romans 2:6, to the Son in His own words in St Matthew 16:27.
