The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Then I heard what seemed to be (A)the voice of a great multitude, like (B)the roar of many waters and (C)like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

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

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

And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: (I)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, (J)“These are the true words of God.” 10 Then (K)I fell down at his feet to worship him, (L)but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to (M)the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Wedding Celebration of the Lamb

And I heard something like the sound of a great crowd and something like the sound of many waters and something like the sound of powerful thunder, saying,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord God,[a] the All-Powerful, reigns!
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him the glory,
because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has prepared herself.
And it has been granted to her that she be dressed in bright, clean fine linen (for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints).

And he said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the banquet of the wedding celebration of the Lamb!” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 And I fell down before his feet to worship him, and he said to me, “Do not do that![b] I am a fellow slave of you and of your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
