Revelation 19:1-9

English Standard Version

Rejoicing in Heaven

19 After this I heard ^(A)what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
^(B)Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
² for ^(C)his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged ^(D)the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and ^(E)has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

³Once more they cried out,

“Hallelujah!
^(F)The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

⁴And ^(G)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” ⁵And from the throne came a voice saying,

^(H)“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
^(I)you who fear him,
small and great.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

⁶Then I heard what seemed to be ^(J)the voice of a great multitude, like ^(K)the roar of many waters and ^(L)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty ^(M)reigns.
⁷Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for ^(N)the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and ^(O)his Bride has made herself ready;
⁸^(P)it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—

for the fine linen is ^(Q)the righteous deeds of the saints.

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

A New Commandment

³¹When he had gone out, Jesus said, ^(A)“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and ^(B)God is glorified in him. ³²If God is glorified in him, ^(C)God will also glorify him in himself, and ^(D)glorify him at once. ³³Little children, ^(E)yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just ^(F)as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’ ³⁴^(G)A new commandment ^(H)I give to you, ^(I)that you love one another: ^(J)just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ³⁵^(K)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
