And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren that have the testimony ofa Jesusb: worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecyc.

WK Translation Notes

+

a

It seems an assumption that it is a testimony to Him; for this would be either the dative in Greek (as in English), or the genitive after peri (about) as a regular rule. It is the testimony Jesus is rendering in the book, whoever may receive or repeat it. Compare chap. 1:2, 12:17.

b

The best copies omit the article tou before the first "Jesus."

c

It may be as well to observe here that, in the reciprocal proposition, so often vaguely applied or misapplied, "the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus," we are not to understand a testimony to Jesus, but that which He gave, and, in general throughout the Apocalypse, His prophetic testimony, whether committed to an angel or to His servants. It is incorrect therefore to say that this means to Jesus. The angelic communicator was but a fellow-servant of John’s: God was to be worshipped.
