Revelation 3:9

γνῶσιν. א Primas[133] read γνώσῃ.

[133] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter.

9. διδῶ. The use of “give” in this verse is frequent in Hebrew: (cp. LXX. of Isaiah 60:17 δώσω τοὺς ἄρχοντάς σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ); here the sentence is unfinished, and is resumed by “I will make them come” &c. below.

ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τοῦ Σατανᾶ. See on Revelation 2:9.

ποιήσω αὐτούς. An application of Isaiah 60:14, πορεύσονται πρὸς σὲ δεδοικότες υἱοὶ ταπεινωσάντων σε.

ὅτι ἐγὼ ἠγάπησά σε. Perhaps “that I set my love on thee” once for all; but it is simpler to remember how much commoner aorists are than perfects in the New Testament. The pronoun ἐγὼ is emphatic—which supports the view already suggested, that the title of this Church to Christian privileges was contested by the Jews, and that this message of the Lord is intended to decide a controversy.
