The words "and see" here and vers. 3,5,7, are very doubtful and probably added in some MSS.

WK Translation Notes

a
In verses 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and in 8:1, "had" should be omitted as in KJV.
b
Surely it is plain enough that we ought not to have here, and after the word "come" in verse 1, the words "and see." They are wanting in the best text for all these passages. The sentence ought only to be "Come." The difference comes to this, that "Come and see" would be addressed to John; whereas according to the better MSS. "Come" is addressed by the living creature to the rider upon the horse. See note to verse 1.
