²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and ^(A)knock. ^(B)If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, ^(C)I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

³⁶ and be like men who are ^(A)waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and ^(B)knocks. ^37 (C)Blessed are those servants^[a] whom the master finds ^(D)awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, ^(E)he will dress himself for service and ^(F)have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them.

⁹ And the angel said^[a] to me, “Write this: ^(A)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, ^(B)“These are the true words of God.”

^21 (A)Whoever has my commandments and ^(B)keeps them, he it is who loves me. And ^(C)he who loves me ^(D)will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and ^(E)manifest myself to him.” ^22 (F)Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it ^(G)that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered him, ^(H)“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and ^(I)we will come to him and ^(J)make our home with him.

³³ So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, ^(A)at the very gates.

⁸ Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and ^(A)dress properly,^[a] and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’?
