Apocalipsis 1:1-3 NVI

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 1:3

He that readeth this book publicly in the church, and they that hear the book read, are equally blessed. There is grace promised to both minister and congregation who live up to the spirit of the Scriptures. St. John here suggests that a usage common in the Jewish Church ( Luke 4:16 ; Acts 15:21 ; 2 Corinthians 3:15 ) may be adopted in the Christian Church. Probably this verse is the earliest authority for the public reading of the New Testament Scripture. It is very precarious to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 1:3

The benediction on ministers and people who observe the sayings of this book. "Blessed is he that readeth," etc. By the readers are meant those who, in the congre gation, should read this book; and by the hearers, the congregations themselves; but neither readers nor hearers, ministers nor people, win this benediction unless, in addition to the reading and the hearing, they keep its saying. But, notwithstanding the solemn commendation of this book, it is known to all students of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 1:1

The Revelation of Jesus Christ - This is evidently a title or caption of the whole book, and is designed to comprise the substance of the whole; for all that the book contains would be embraced in the general declaration that it is a revelation of Jesus Christ. The word rendered “Revelation” - Ἀποκάλυψις Apokalupsis, whence we have derived our word “Apocalypse” - means properly an that is, nakedness; from ἀποκαλύπτω apokaluptō, to uncover. It would apply to anything which had been covered... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 1:2

Who bare record of the word of God - Who bore witness to, or testified of ἐμαρτύρησεν emarturēsen the Word of God. He regarded himself merely as a “witness” of what he had seen, and claimed only to make a fair and faithful “record” of it. “This is the disciple which “testifieth” (ὁ μαρτυρῶν ho marturōn) of these things, and wrote these things,” John 21:24. “And he that saw it bare record” - μεμαρτύρηκε memarturēke John 19:35. Compare also the following places, where the apostle uses the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 1:3

Blessed is he that readeth - That is, it is to be regarded as a privilege attended with many blessings, to be permitted to mark the disclosures to be made in this book; the important revelations respecting future times. Prof. Stuart supposes that this refers to a public reading, and that the phrase “those who hear the words of this prophecy,” refers to those who listened to the public reader, and that both the reader and hearer should regard themselves as highly favored. It is, however, more in... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 1:1

Revelation 1:1. The book opens with the title or inscription of the book itself, and an account of the scope and design of it, namely, to foretel things which should shortly begin to be fulfilled, and should succeed in their due season and order till all were accomplished. The Revelation Properly so called; for things covered before, are here revealed, or unveiled. No prophecy in the Old Testament has this title; it was reserved for this alone in the New. It is, as it were, a manifesto,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 1:1-8

1:1-20 JOHN’S INTRODUCTIONGreetings to the seven churches (1:1-8)Jesus Christ received this revelation from God and passed it on to John by a series of visions that an angel interpreted for him. John, in turn, was to pass this revelation on to God’s persecuted people in Asia Minor, for it concerned events about to take place that would affect them. All who took notice of the book would be blessed, both the person who read it to the church and those who listened as he read it (1:1-3).The writer... read more
